This particular location shared my FAVORITE QUALITY of spending time in a "Neighborhood". The Quality of the residence, and AS Importantly, or MORE... the Staff, front of house, management, finances, info, booking..even Fabulous breakfast chef and attendents, availability for ANY help, amenities, data for seeking Attractions for art or Food.. Is the BEST...I have ever experienced in 50 years of travel. Florence is a relatively easy walking destination for visitors..even without my Art/culture/food experience... I simply Cannot say How WONDERFUL..all the Staff at this Location...SOooo convenient, have been. I was even able to speak to one Manager..to Express my thanks for such a wonderful experience.. DO...yourself a favor..and Stay at "Hotel Allessandra" if you want to experience the Best of Florence. It is mere blocks from The Ponte Vecchio.. The Uffizi Gallery...and The Duomo.... to see, again, some of my favorite artist's work.. Bernini.. Michealangelo... Botticelli.."Hotel"..Home for the week..was only blocks away.. Even as tired as I was (at 63).. to be able to walk from my room mere steps to get some caffiene,, juice..eat what I wished from their bountiful offerings.. whether eggs and ham..or 5 different Italian pastry/pie creations was such neccesary sustinence for the next days' efforts. Andreas.. Monte..made sure I was up, . I simply cannot expresswonder..the appreciation for the personal warmth of this destination's personnel... and the "Location-location-location
