We stayed here last summer for a few nights. The room looks exactly as pictured. The ceiling in particular was really cool. The management was really nice and let us store our bags before check in and after check out while we were waiting for our train. It was very hot and muggy while we were there, but the AC kept us comfortable after our museum jaunts.

Us Aussies are pretty practical people who believe in value for money. this place was fantastic. After travelling through Paris, Nice, Rome and Venice having to deal with ridiculously small rooms with the bare minimum that werent cheap either, this place was a refreshing change! This was by far the best place we have stayed during our trip. It was great value for money and the owners are very kind and light hearted and can understand english quite well. The apartment was beautifully decorated but not too over the top, there was a great little kitchen setup in the open plan living area, which followed on to a beautiful bedroom and big en-suit bathroom (with giant towels!). We felt very comfortable in the spacious place and it made the trip so much more like a holiday, The kitchen makes it handy to cook your own food and save money on always eating out!! it was handy that there was a supermarket about 20m down the road. the internet was really fast as well :) If we return to Florence we will definately stay here.

We stayed at Palazzo Alfani al David recently and were very happy there. We're a family of 5, my wife and I and three kids (18, 13, and 11). We were provided an apartment that consisted of 4 rooms in all, two bedrooms, a living room with a pull out couch, and a kitchen area. The two bathrooms were beautiful and immaculate - and all marble. The beds had mattresses and were really great. The kitchen had everything you could want, with appliances/sink and even a coffee pot. We used it for breakfasts mainly- a nice way to save some money. There's a grocery store just outside.

The proximity to everything was great- the Duomo a 5 min walk straight down the road. The Accademia Museum literally across the street. Uffizi and Santa Croce 10 min walks - really perfect. I'd recommend Ciro and Sons for dinner- right by an outdoor market with lots of good deals on leather goods.

Only negative for the 3 nights we stayed there- the 1st two nights a Friday and Saturday there was some noise coming from the street below- loud yelling several times through the night- not sure where this came from, must have been some late night walking traffic. Our last night there was a Sunday, and was completely quiet.

We read the reviews on TA carefully - that's how we found this place and always get suspicious when I see a review as positive as this, but take my word for it, this place is really outstanding for the money. Thanks to Francesca who was a great hostess.

my husband and i decided to spend a romantic weekend in Florence and we stayed in Palazzo Alfani. the location is fantastic because just in front of the Accademia Musium and 50 meters from the Duomo. The ower, Francesca Alfani was so kind and helped us in any way possible to make our stay welcoming. the room was beautiful and felt like being in the last century. i found the rooms very clean. it was a great wekend which will be repeated.
