Property Description
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the Grand Hotel Minerva occupies one of Florence's most picturesque piazzas, adjacent to the ornate church faηade of Santa Maria Novella. Stylishly transported into the 20th Century by the inimitable architect, Detti, and designer, Scarpa, and further refurbished since, this is a magnificent base for exploring the delights of the city. Once inside the hotel, marvel at the ornate frescoes adorning the ceilings of the Presidential Suite before indulging in some of the finest Tuscan cuisine. Before you leave, take a dip in the spectacular rooftop pool for a truly breathtaking panorama of the Duomo and spires of the city beyond.
