Grand Hotel Minerva - Florence, Italy 

"The Minerva is magical!!!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We just LOVED the Grand Hotel Minerva!! We stayed there for 4 nights at the end of August 2005. We travel with our 3 daughters and it's always hard to find a hotel in Europe with a family room that fits 5. Grand Hotel Minerva has a fabulous family room. It is 2 levels with 2 bathrooms and has so much room you can't believe it! The king bed is on the main floor and there is a bedroom upstairs with 2 twin beds and then an alcove with one more additional bed. We paid 300 Euros per night which included tax and breakfast for all 5 of us. I think it's 400 Euros during the "on" season. We paid less because the end of August is considered off seaon. The weather in August was so much better than we expected. I thought it was going to be so hot and humid, but it was warm - in the 80's - and very pleasant. I booked this hotel not only for the family room, but for the wonderful rooftop pool.

A beautiful hotel with excellent spacious rooms. After requesting a nice room with a view we couldn't fault it - many thanks. The only slight problem we encountered was an unpleasant small in the lobby area. We would recommend this hotel to friends and family and hope to return soon!

Decent location to access the city on foot. Parking is 28 Euro's a night. Beware if you own a 'luxury' model car or SUV... (there is a select list of makes and models at reception) - you will be charged 40 Euro to have your car parked overnight. I could get no satisfactory explanation why it should cost more for me to park my sports car than for my friend to park his Ford in the same garage. Great breakfast choices. High end evening meals.

Unser Lieblingshotel in Florenz. Eigentlich sollten wir es gar nicht empfehlen, weil es dann noch häufiger ausgebucht ist. Prof. Dr. Erik Adam und Eva Födermair, Austria
