Plaza Hotel Lucchesi
A rooftop pool on the Arno
In brief
On the Arno east of Santa Croce in Florence, open since 1860. The roof holds a pool and a bar with the Duomo in view — unusual for a four-star. The rooftop restaurant cooks vegetable-forward, from humble ingredients.
Compiled from public sources — not my own note.
Good to know
- The roof opens only in summer, and the pool is for residents.
- Non-residents can come up after half past seven, with a reservation.
