Grand Hotel Cavour
This is a great hotel in the center of everything in Florence. The staff was clear and efficient, the room was comfortable and beautiful in an understated way and the balcony on our second floor room gave us a terrific view of the street. I would recommend this hotel.

Hotel De La Ville
Staff was very kind and friendly. My only concern which was extremely concerning..was they arranged to clean out their biological box (aka septic) in the middle of the night and I awoke to horrific fumes which was located below my room window.
