Historic Building Accommodations

Hotel Alessandra occupies a 16th-century Florentine building with 27 rooms featuring air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free WiFi. Rooms include minibars, soundproof walls, and parquet floors, with some offering terraces with city views or garden views. The Gennarini family has operated this hotel since 1970.

Complimentary Breakfast Service

A buffet breakfast with hard-boiled eggs is served until 09:30 in the sunny yellow breakfast room, which features unique stonework on the lower walls. Guests can also access a small outdoor terrace with cafe tables that offers views of red rooftops and a glimpse of the river.

Central Florence Location

The hotel is situated on Via dei Rondinelli, a few blocks from Ponte Vecchio bridge. It's 0.5 km from Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria. Santa Maria Novella train station is 1 km away, reachable via local bus service.

Family-Run Concierge Services

Staff provides tourist information and handles reservations for museums, live events, and tours. Services include laundry and assistance with transportation rentals. Note that the building requires climbing stairs before accessing the small lift to the 2nd-floor reception.

Practical Guest Information

The hotel offers garage parking for vehicles. Some rooms have hallway bathrooms nearby with free shower access. Free WiFi is available throughout. The building's historic nature means no elevator access to the second-floor reception without first climbing stairs.

“This family-run hotel, set in an authentic and beautifully maintained building a stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio, clearly emphasizes the human touch; the staff's exceptional service elevates it beyond its two-star rating. Despite the minor inconvenience of navigating a few stairs before reaching the elevator, the comfortable, clean rooms and the overall atmosphere make it a standout choice. For those seeking a genuine Florentine experience, this hotel, with its blend of golden-age decor and warm, attentive service, is an excellent find.”
