Hotel De La Ville

I visit Firenze regularly and this one of the best options I’ve found. Pros: This is perfectly situated hotel in the heart of Florence. It is old-fashioned in the best sense, with a courteous, professional staff and niceties like a turn-down service including slippers (but unfortunately not a chocolate on the pillow). They supplied a bed and bowl for my dog. The breakfast buffet is bountiful. The bed was comfortable and the linens high-quality. Cons: The window in my room had two layers of obscured glass, perhaps because the “view” was basically a large air shaft, but the result was that it felt somewhat claustrophobic. The faucet for the bidet was noisy and needed attention.
