That View!!!
We asked the concierge at our hotel for a suggestion of a bar or restaurant that had good views of Duomo, and she suggested the rooftop cocktail bar at the Grand Hotel Minerva. We were not disappointed!! As the chef fired up the oven for delicious Pizzas, we enjoyed sunset cocktails and other tasty bites, but it was the views that stole the evening! With the Piazza Santa Maria Noella and cathedral… We asked the concierge at our hotel for a suggestion of a bar or restaurant that had good views of Duomo, and she suggested the rooftop cocktail bar at the Grand Hotel Minerva.

Beautiful hotel close to everything
I loved this hotel, which is so centrally located (an easy walk from the main train station). The staff was very warm and the breakfast was one of the best I've had in a European hotel. Yes, the hotel is expensive but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.I loved this hotel, which is so centrally located (an easy walk from the main train station).

We had drinks at the bar which was all going well until we came to pay. The receipt showed that the payment had been approved but the till said there had been an error.
