Rather than staying in a hotel, we wanted a place where 5 of us could stay together. After reading the reviews, we chose Palazzo Alfani. The location was perfect. Within minutes of walking, we could visit most of historic Florence. Although this was a private building versus a hotel, it was easy to make a reservation and ask any questions... more

We have just returned from the best vacation we have ever experienced in Italy and I believe a lot of our enjoyment derived from our staying in this lovely Palazzo. Our apartment, and Francesca, were the best apartment stay we have ever had and if I could say every other apartment experience was as good as this, we would never... more

We went to Florence on our honeymoon and stayed three nights. We could not have asked for a better experience. The room was huge in comparison to others and the service was second to none. It is location is very central and we were within an easy walking distance to everywhere. Francesca, the attedant, was very nice and did everything... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. There are so many bonuses this place has to offer... First the owner is extremely polite and helpful! Her recommended dining places were right on. I will say one of the places, La Accademia, which is just around the corner served up the best pasta I had in all of Italy.... more

Beautiful location, and really superb and luxurious accommodations. Everything you need is at your fingertips, including shopping and restaurants and services and the sights and sounds of Italy. The apartment is absolutely perfect, with every amenity you will need and beautiful to boot. Every detail is carefully attended to and Francesca is so friendly and helpful you feel like family.... more

We stayed here back in August, and I thought I'd posted a review, but it does not appear, which is why this is first appearing now. We spent three fabulous nights at the Palazzo Alfani, and would be hard-pressed to recommend it more highly. The location is excellent - literally opposite the Accadmia, around the corner from Piazza San Marco... more

Location, cleanliness, beautiful, friendly. This may be the best value I've ever experienced in a hotel. Basically, you are renting a luxury, fully appointed flat in a 16th century Italian residence, with a delightful and knowledgeable concierge, directly (and I mean directly) across the street from the Academia museum. The flat was large and airy w full kitchen, marble bath... more

I would stay nowhere else in Florence. The residence is very centrally located, directly across the street from the Accademia, and a 5 minute walk from the Duomo. Francesca is very pleasant and accomodating, with maps of Florence and restaurant suggestions. The apartment consists of 2 large rooms, one a living/kitchenette, the other the bed room. The bathroom is off... more
