    attentive service
    amazing view

    Recommend it for couples looking to unwind

    Sipping on drinks while taking in the view was lovely. Plus, our room was cozy, and the staff made sure we felt right at home with their attentive service.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but acceptable given the overall quality we received.

    The friendly staff, clean rooms, great interior.

    Food wasn`t so good, I would replace the cook as there was no reasonable bread at the breakfast buffet.

    I stayed here for 3 days and would stay here again without hesitation. The hotel was romantic, location was wonderful in a lovely open square next to the Church of Santa Maria Novella, plentiful breakfast. The rooftop bar was comfortable.

    The whole story in a nutshell

    The rooftop pool offers amazing views, especially at sunset. My room had exquisite frescoes and a private terrace. Staff were attentive. Alissia were really nice to help during a tough week. Can't wait to return!

    All good. The hotel is in a very good condition and the swimming on the roof is impressive. We had a free upgrade and a nice 2 room room for 3 people.

    spacious suite
    helpful staff

    Staying at grand hotel minerva was a treat! The suite was spacious and comfortable, a perfect retreat to recharge before diving back into the city's excitement. Breakfast was fantastic each morning, and the staff at the welcome desk were helpful. We loved the personal touch of the fruit and biscotti basket.
