For those who cannot resist the opportunity to live and dine in style within a city where it may be said the very principles of art and design were invented, then the Grand Hotel Minerva in Florence is the place to be. With interiors every bit as special as the views over the true renaissance city, the hotel is certainly well placed to provide superior comforts and first class hospitality, and it is well placed too, for accessing the most appealing, enigmatic and historic sights in a city which has countless such attractions. Occupying a prime spot on the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, guests could scarcely be better placed for historic Florence.

Adjacent to the hotel is the church of Santa Maria Novella, the oldest basilica in the city. Perhaps the best aspect of the church is not that it contains some of the richest art treasures or presents a façade and interiors which are nothing short of breathtaking, but rather that it enjoys a somewhat more sheltered tourist status than the many other religious architectural wonders of the city. Thus, it remains a place of solace and spiritual comfort and provides an authentic experience of Florentine history, culture and life.

Being right next door, the Grand Hotel Minerva is certainly convenient for the church and is just as convenient for the other features around the square which bears the church's name. Across from the church is Firenza Santa Maria Novella, the main railway station in the city. From here many of the top European cities are connected via Eurostar services and there are many local services too, ideal for leaving the car behind and touring into the Tuscan countryside by train. There are many additional historic delights of the largest square in Florence and situated at the edge of the historic city centre, all the most famous galleries, museums and sights are within easy reach too.
