No title - expert review The location, a block from the Ponte Vecchio, and the clean, ample rooms make this a good choice. The building, known as the Palazzo Roselli del Turco, was designed in 1507 by Baccio d'Agnolo, a contemporary of Michelangelo. Though little remains of the original design save for the high wood ceiling... fodors.com
No title - expert review This old-fashioned pensione in a 1507 palazzo just off the river charges little for its simple comfort and kind hospitality. The rooms differ greatly in size and style, and while they won't win any awards from Architectural Digest, there are a few antique pieces and parquet floors to add to the char... frommers.com

Suite Place to Stay - user review Everything about the Alessandra is a real pleasure. We decided to splurge and stay in the Baccio Suite for a week. Very large living room, bedroom, small study and a terrace looking out over the Arno. There is a Murphy bed in the living room so 2 couples can easily share. 1 block from the Ponte Vecc... fodors.com
FANTASTIC service - user review GREAT service. They are so kind and helpful gave us maps to everything, places to eat, help in finding things, and internet service (for a fee).

Alessandra is absolutely wonderful - user review Just returned from a three night stay at the Alessandra. Great location. The infamous stairs are not that bad.

Best location in town!!!!! - user review Stayed here for 3 days last February. Be prepared to climb 2 flights of stairs with your luggage to reach the elevator.

Fair, centrally located with helpful staff - user review This was my first trip to Italy and I counted on Fodor's recommendations, especially this Rants & Raves area.

Simply the best location in town! - user review Upon our arrival in town, our first couple of nights were spent in another hotel near Pitti Palace which was pretty grim, so when an Italian friend suggested the Alessandra for our last night in Florence, we took her up on the suggestion. This was such a lovely place!People at the front desk were we... fodors.com
A home from home in the ´real´ medieval Florence - user review What a fantastic find I'm very grateful to the Fodor's ratings for recommending this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect one block from the Ponte Vecchio, two from the Uffizi etc but very quiet indeed. It's hard to believe there are so many manic tourists a few hundred yards from your window. ... fodors.com
Would highly recommend the Alessandra - user review What made our stay at the Alessandra Hotel so enjoyable was the friendly, helpful staff. We arrived mid morning and expected to have to leave our bags and return later to check into our room. Instead we were told to wait just a few moments as our room was almost ready. As it was our first trip to Fl... fodors.com
