Me and my wife honeymooned in florence and could not have stayed in a more superb residence. The location is perfect, the facility is elegant and romantic with the old world feel we where looking for. But the best part of our experience at Palazzo Alfani was the people, gratious and warm. Thank you for making our stay perfect. We... More

We had a fantastic time at Palazzo Alfani. The location, opposite the Accademia, was excellent. We had a spacious and well equipped apartment overlooking the garden which was very quiet. Francesca was extremely welcoming and friendly, she really looks after her guests.

Must stay when you are in Florence. It's a excellent cozy apartment. The only con is there is no lift so that you have to carry your luggages to the room. But the owner, Francesca will help you to carry the luggages and she will provide all the single details about Florence. Thanks Francesca! We had an unforgettable good time... More

Just back from our second stay with Francesca at Palazzo Alfani al David. Staying there felt like coming home! The location is perfect - we truly felt like we were residents of this beautiful city. On my return to Canada I even recommended it to my seat mate. Thanks Francesca - see you again!

We loved our time at Palazzo Alfani. Perfect location, very close to everything we wanted to see. We walked everywhere, and our longest walk was 15 minutes down to the Arno. Our rooms were on the street, and being across from the Academia, there's plenty of crowds during the day, but it is quiet at night. We loved stepping out... More

I have nothing but praises to say about my stay at Palazzo Alfani al David. For starters, the location, it is literally across the street from Academia Gallery, where the Statue of David is at. I strongly suggest you do what I did, which is, wake up, go half way up the block to buy your ticket for a reserved... More

Things we loved: *Location - close to a grocery store, a bakery, cleaners...everything you could need is within a short, short walking distance *Apartment - spacious, lots of hot water, comfy bed, fluffy towels (We stayed in 1A which faces the street. If you're a light sleeper, I recommend getting a room that faces the courtyard.) *Francesca - so friendly... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! We very much enjoyed having you to stay. 1A is for people who sleep well and enjoy the city sounds! And what better place to check the length of the queue to visit our neighbour - Michelangelo's David. The kids say hi! More

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. You are correct that we don't put full supplies in the kitchen - but we do provide a welcome basket with the necessary things for a quick snack if you are famished after a long journey - some biscuits, crackers, jam, sodas, water, tea and coffee and of course...

We had a very comfortable stay in a superior room overlooking the courtyard that Francesca upgraded us to, and then gave us a generous discount for after realising we wanted a room on the lower floor. The apartment is in a central but busy position, we however had no noise in the courtyard room. Our children had a comfortable sleep... More

And we loved having you to stay! You are right to point out that ours is a large and old palazzo (like most buildings in Florence), and we do not currently have a lift, so for people with children a lower floor is certainly more suitable. We are very glad that you enjoyed it and we look forward to seeing... More
