The Bar/Lounge at Grand Hotel Minerva

"Watching the sunset from here or from the adjacent bar is a memorable experience"

"The bedrooms have a cosy feel, with parquet floors and faux-rustic furnishings, and the bar and small swimming pool on the roof are major pluses"

"The alluring bar flanks the entrance, and farther in is a more comfortable lounge with more stylish seating"

"Boasting one of the best terrace views in town, the Sky Lounge (open May to September), adds panache with a rooftop swimming pool ideal for cooling off after a day of culture in the Renaissance capital"
