Stayed at Hotel De La Ville for 4 nights with my wife for holiday. The hotel was within walking distance from almost all the tourist attractions in Florence (i.e. the Cathedral, Accademia Gallery, Uffizi Gallery, the Duomo, Pallazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio etc) as well as the train and bus stations (for day trips to Pisa). It is located in a quiet and safe area with pedestrianised street in front and there are a lot of places to eat nearby and high end shopping. Our room was spacious, clean and with excellent housekeeping. The en suite bathroom was modern and clean. Our room had very good air conditioning which is important when visiting at the height of summer. One thing that really stoods out was the excellent breakfast service with a wide array of food on the menu (various breads, poultry and meat products including Italian cold cuts, fruits, coffee and juices, salads, cakes and pastries, cheeses etc) to get you tanked up for the day. Excellent service throughout and staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the hotel.
