Traveler reviews
Dott'S
★★★★★3 years agoThis is a hidden gem that should be enjoyed by all who pass by Firenze. This is the rooftop of the Palace Machiavelli hotel, sister to Atlantic Palace. No words to describe the vibe and amazing views and sunset from the rooftop. Each day has a different theme music from jazz to good old pop, it's just in keeping with the place. The service is excellent and the waiters are attentive and patient. They have a light menu in case you're hungry. The drinks come with the regular nuts and chips/crisps. Highly recommended!
