Head to the newly renovated La Terrazza, the rooftop lounge bar at the Continentale Hotel, and sip on a cocktail crafted by Florence’s finest mixologists. Options include the classic Italian Negroni—made with gin—and the Vesper Martini, made famous by James Bond. With a gentle breeze and the passage of time, enjoy the breathtaking riverside views that unfold like an endless landscape painting—or feel as if you’re in a romantic European love story.

The renovation of La Terrazza rooftop bar was conceived by Italian architect Michele Bonan, drawing inspiration from the glamorous movie and fashion scenes of the 1950s. To integrate the design with the surrounding historic environment, the designer used soft tones such as off-white, silver-copper, and brown, paired with original wooden floors and a modern bar—blending classic and contemporary styles. La Terrazza also features an open fireplace and heated benches, allowing guests to enjoy the terrace all year round.
