Few Florentine hotels can boast views of the Duomo from their rooftop pool, but that's just one of the Grand Hotel Minerva's unique selling points. Another plus is its location - right next to Santa Maria Novella Basilica and within easy walking distance of the Arno, the railway station, and the Duomo itself. The decor is also worth noting. In keeping with the hotel's status as one of the oldest in
Florence, interiors are elegant and rooms are Tuscan in feel. Restaurants and cafes abound in this area - picking one might pose a problem, but that's what the concierge is for. Not just for the pool set, the rooftop is also a designated drinking area, so guests can enjoy an evening aperitif while taking in Florence's terracotta rooftops and the pastel-colored Fiesole hills.
