Via Occhio Marino, 8 - Capri

A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the historic center of Capri, La Minerva is the perfect combination of a central location and peaceful getaway on this paradisiacal Italian island.

Boutique Style

Intimate and exclusive, Hotel La Minerva has a total of just 19 lovely, light-filled bedrooms, featuring the vaulted ceilings, graceful arches and exquisite hand-painted majolica floor tiles typical of Capri's elegant private homes.
Nearly all rooms open out on to a generously sized terrace or balcony, framed by brightly colored bougainvillea.

The most sought-after rooms in the house? La Minerva's Deluxe rooms have marvelous light-filled bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and walk-in closets for extra space.

Panoramic Pleasures

The hotel's private garden, abundant in sweet-smelling citrus trees and almond trees, features an attractive swimming pool with views of the sea and the medieval Charterhouse of San Giacomo.

A delicious selection of freshly prepared salads, sandwiches and the hotel's famous crushed ice drinks are available at the Pool Bar.
During the long summer season, La Minerva's generous buffet breakfast is served on the hotel's open-air terrace. In the evenings, the same terrace provides the panoramic venue for sunset aperitifs or you can relax at the indoor lobby bar and sample from the selection of the finest labels from single malt whiskey to gin, grappa, and house cocktails.

Capri, Inside and Out

Despite its location in one of the quietest areas of Capri, Hotel La Minerva lies within easy walking distance of the famous Piazzetta, and the glamorous Via Camerelle where all of the island's most fashionable designer boutiques and restaurants are located.
Those eager to experience the natural beauty of Capri will find any number of breathtaking coastal walks in the vicinity of the hotel. La Minerva's affable concierge will be pleased to organize boat excursions, including visits to the island's many sea caves, and across the waters to the nearby Amalfi Coast.

dream villa Arabella

5
Dec 29, 2024
This review applies to the Villa Arabella, which - like the Hotel Minerva - is run with great passion by the Esposito family. Our stay got off to a great start: Luigi Esposito, our host, picked us up personally at the port of Capri and accompanied us to the villa. I was fascinated by Villa Arabella from the very first glance. The location, the tasteful furnishings and the elegant style - everything was just perfect. The villa is in a quiet area about a 10-minute walk from the lively Piazzetta. After visiting the tourist hotspots, it was good to return to the less crowded part of the island. We felt completely safe throughout our stay in the villa and its surroundings. The villa has been recently renovated and is stylishly and luxuriously furnished in typical Capri style. All three bedrooms have direct access to the terrace and their own en-suite bathroom. Two rooms are large and spacious, one of them with a very large bathroom. The third room is rather small. The roof terrace is fantastic with sweeping views over Capri and the sea. Luigi knows the island and the surrounding area perfectly and provided us with numerous tips and organized private tours and restaurant reservations for us. Another highlight was the breakfast, which the chef prepared fresh every morning according to our wishes. The service is also available for lunch and dinner on request. The only thing we missed in the villa was a pool. There is a whirlpool, which is a good alternative especially in the cooler months. We felt very comfortable in Villa Arabella and would book this fantastic house again in a heartbeat.

A lovely time spending part of our honeymoon at La Minerva

Oct 31, 2024
We had a wonderful time at La Minerva as part of our honeymoon. There were plenty of nice touches, such as preparing the room each time we went out to dinner (they left a flower and the next day's news on the bed, lit a candle, and had the TV on with gentle music) and a welcome cocktail. The rooftop dining was lovely, and the complimentary breakfast was very good as well. The concierges were extremely helpful for booking outings and transportation. My only (small) complaint was our balcony view was mostly obstructed by a tree/bush of some kind, but I don't know if it was on La Minerva's property, so it may not have even been their fault.

Superb family run small boutique hotel

Superb small boutique hotel obviously run by a family. Everything from landing at capri to leaving and transferring to our next hotel in naples was well organised. All recent reviews mirror our own experience. The lemon drink on arrival was a nice touch, but one on departure was unexpected. There were so many similar nice touches. Coffee or tea delivered to the room in the morning. But most memorable was the turn down service. Italian music and video on the TV plus candles and the usual services. Wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights.

Outstanding Hotel!

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night as part of our Amalfi Coast trip. We stayed at 6 different hotels during our trip and this was by far our favorite hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location is ideal within walking distance to the center of Capri Town. Our room was spacious and had all the amenities we would want. Breakfast in the morning was a small buffet but they also had a menu where you could order other breakfast items. What made this hotel stand out to us was the service. The gentlemen at the front desk were so friendly and so accommodating. They gave great recommendations of what to do, where to eat, etc. We asked for coffee a couple times in the room and it was brought to us immediately. They also kept us updated on our ferry for when we were leaving the island. There was some question as to whether our ferry would have been cancelled due to high seas and they even had one of their representatives meet us at the ferry dock to make sure everything was running as scheduled. Our only regret is that we didn't spend more time here to enjoy the hotel and outstanding service. We highly recommend this hotel when traveling to Capri!
