Santa Maria Novella Hotel Guide - Boutique Hotels in Santa Maria Novella, Florence

"Hotel is very pretty. The suite rooms have plenty of space. Front desk staff very polite and helpful in anyway possible. Location is good with about a ten minute walk to the city center. Self parking is 35 per day just is pricey and the breakfast is subpar in my opinion for the price. I paid for the breakfast during my stay and when I sat I ordered an omelet which wasn’t “included” so I had to pay an additional $7 for. Not many options for breakfast, not even orange juice just other juices that weren’t very good. If I stayed here again, I wouldn’t pay for the breakfast option and just find something outside by the city center. The bar is small which is a little let down since I usually like a good hotel bar before dinner so we didn’t try this bar and just went outside. Overall nice property , big rooms"

"They charged for the breakfast when I checked in, had to remove some breakfast charges since I did not end up having breakfast there each morning. The food was not as good as I have had at other similar hotels in Italy."

"Beautiful voew from the terrace of our room"

"This was an exceptional place to stay while in Florence. The city was very crowded with tourists and general city density and the Grand Hotel Minerva felt like an oasis of space. We had a beautiful view overlooking a spacious piazza and the facade of the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella. The pool was lovely and offered an epic view of the duomo. Every staff person we encountered provided exceptional service and friendliness. Plus the building is architecturally significant (designed by Carlo Scarpa) which my husband enjoyed. Breakfast was a generous buffet with plenty of options for everyone. We would absolutely stay here again. "
