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

Small supermarket a couple of doors up and some nice restaurants nearby.

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

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in Palazzo Alfani al David. Our host, Francesca, was very kind and friendly. She made us feel like home here. Everything about our stay was perfect. The place is exactly opposite to the Accademia so we don't have to book; we just peeked through our window to see when there's no line. The... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Alfani. The furnishings and decor were beautiful old-world Italian, and the beds were the most comfortable we found in Italy. Our livingroom and bedroom had wonderful views of the interior courtyard. The apartment is well-located, across the street from the Academia and around the corner from restaurants, public transportation (several bus stops), and... More

We arrived in Florence by train from Venice and found Palazzo Alfani without difficulty. The apartment we had booked looked great on the web but we were a little apprehensive as the pictures looked almost to good to be true. Well, they weren't. The apartment is delightful - a charming sitting room with flat screen TV, DVD player, a small... More

We have just returned from a short stay in Florence which coincided with a very cold spell but no snow! Our suite, facing the garden, was very nice, spotlessly clean and had a very comfortable bed with quality linen. Owing to the cold and large shuttered 16th century windows, we needed a good heating system and we had one, it... More
