Alessandro's chapel room is awesome. It is within walking distance to European university institute in one direction and 100 ft of a bus stop to downtown Florence (15-20min trip) in the other direction. The room itself, a former chapel, is very large and spacious. And what can be a better Florence experience then looking at Annunciation frescos from 15th century while laying in your bed? No hotel can give you that! The shared bathroom and kitchen work really well too. We had no trouble using the bathroom and kitchen when we wanted and both were always clean and orderly. Alessandro has a great easy system to keep everything in order ( with the help of his guests). We plan to come again to Florence to the EUI. We hope Alessandro's room will be available again.
