My wife and I spent two nights at Hotel Alessandra in November and really enjoyed our time there. My favorite thing about it was its central location. It was an easy walk to almost all of the items on our to-do list - the Uffizi, the Arno, Duomo, and the many churches we visited. Coming out of the quiet ally... more

Six from my family had the pleasure of staying two wonderful nights at the Hotel Alessandra and it couldn't have been more perfect. The location simply couldn't be better but, more than that, Andrea and his Mom were so very accommodating to us. The charm of this gem is extremely appealing and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a... more

The not-so-good: Walking up a couple of flights with heavy bags to get to the entrance. Unpleasant odor in the room. (Later we discovered the same odor throughout the city from time to time, so... more

Hotel Alessandra has a good location in the heart of things as well as the most accommodating staff that I encountered in Tuscany. Monti is cheerful, warm, and welcoming. I had an interesting conversation with Andrea about a student protest. And he arranged for me to attend a cooking class, which was a fun experience. My flight home required a... more

What a lovely old hotel. The owners were very gracious and helpful as was the rest of the staff. Lovely room overlooking the Arno, spacious quarters and a good breakfast every day. We will return if we have the opportunity to visit Florence again. more
