“Rooftop views over Florence's domes”
Grand Hotel Minerva sits in a prime Florence spot — walk everywhere, near shopping, food districts and the train station, and inside the restricted-traffic zone where the hotel vouches for arrivals by car. Rooms are clean and well kept, staff are very attentive with strong food and nightlife recommendations, and the rooftop terrace is a must: sunrise and sunset views over the dome and bell tower, plus a pool with an overwhelming view. Breakfast is a tasty varied buffet and free drinks and sweets are welcomed. Repeat guests call it Florence's best.
