Hotel De La Ville is located in Piazza Antinori, in the heart of the historical centre of Florence, right in front of one of the most representative buildings of seventeenth century Florence: the Church of Santi Michele e Gaetano. Around the hotel are characteristic charming alleys lined with majestic Renaissance buildings and luxurious elegant streets like Via Tornabuoni with its designer boutiques including Gucci, Prada, Cartier and Tiffany. Strolling around in the area near the hotel one immediately gets the true sense of the city: the age-old artisan workshops, which seem to remain unchanged over the centuries, the architectural wonders of the Duomo, Basilica of San Lorenzo and Piazza della Signoria, and the delicatessens and trattorias for discovering the authentic tastes of tradition. The Church of Santi Michele e Gaetano: The origins of the Church of Santi Michele e Gaetano date back to the eleventh century, but the original building was radically changed around 1600. The external facade is built entirely of pietra forte and represents a sublime example of Florentine Baroque. The sides of the chapels contain one of the most important seventeenth century marble cycles with marble statues depicting the Apostles and Evangelists.
