Grand Hotel Minerva

A historic hotel on Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, within walking distance of the Florence Duomo and the Uffizi Galleries. Its history dates back to the early 15th century, yet it also carries a modern sensibility.

Satisfaction runs high enough that one review said it feels 'more like a 5-star than a 4-star.'

  4성급 아니고 5성급인 것 같다고 느껴질 정도로 편안하고 아름다웠던 숙소. 비록 금액은 조금 비싸지만, 한번쯤은 들러도 좋은 곳입니다. 호텔이 정말 아름답고 예뻐서 들어갈 때마다 너무 기분이 좋았습니다. 그리고 … 호텔 공식적인 사진보다도 훨씬 멋져서 놀랐습니다. 호텔 홍보팀은 사진을 다시 찍는 게 좋겠습니다 ㅠ 기차역과도 매우 가깝고, 두오모 돔과도 거리가 가까워 접근성도 좋았습니다. 꼭 다시 방문하고 싶습니다 :)
