The Grand Hotel Minerva has a pleasant surprise in store on the fifth floor for all its guests - a marvellous panoramic terrace from where to take-in one of the world's most beautiful views. The façade of the Church of Santa Maria Novella, the Cathedral, Giotto’s Bell tower and the Palazzo Vecchio are all just a stone’s throw away to enjoy a 360o view that will take your breath away.

The terrace also has a magnificent swimming pool available for its guests to use freely. It is open every day from May to September between 9.00 am and midnight and it is equipped with sun loungers with which to get a tan with a view over the rooftops of Florence. In addition to all of this, every Thursday during the summer months, between June and August, the panoramic terrace of the Grand Hotel Minerva becomes the extraordinary setting for one of most eagerly awaited and trendy aperitifs in Florence, the Minerva Giò, accompanied by a delightfully delicious buffet.
