La Minervetta

All the colors of the Mediterranean right on the coast

  1. A one-of-a-kind beach house

  2. Huge picture windows and views from every room

  3. A staircase directly down to the water's edge

Red, indigo, blue, green: La Minervetta is a lighthearted mix of bright tones, making this boutique hotel just minutes from the center of Sorrento an unmistakable splash of color right above the sea near Marina Grande and its fishing village. Echoed by the shades of the sea and sky, La Minervetta's colors change according to the quality of light during the day, ranging from the deep blue of the Mediterranean to the fiery reds of the sunset. Together with the unique color scheme, the hotel also holds a collection of memorabilia from over 50 years of hosting travellers to Sorrento, making it one of the most characteristic accommodations along the coast. Today, a boutique hotel with 12 rooms and suites awarded two MICHELIN Keys, the property was reacquired in 2006 by the grandson of the founders, who ran the legendary Minerva bar and restaurant during Sorrento's dolce vita years of the 1950s.

Your Beach House

The resort atmosphere and sea air permeates all of La Minervetta. The rooms all have a view over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius through the breathtaking picture windows, which are flooded with light and crisp sea breezes from the first light of day. The warm color scheme of blues and reds makes the guest rooms particularly warm and friendly, and the quirky furnishings and decorative touches reflect the offbeat tastes of your hosts. Junior Suites also feature two panoramic balconies.

Each morning, you'll be awakened by the smell of coffee and fresh-baked goods that wafts through the entire hotel from the kitchen, which is the heart of La Minervetta. Savor your breakfast while drinking in the stunning views for the perfect start to every day.

From Your Room to the Beach

Settle in and relax on the large terrace of La Minervetta, with its VIP view of the Bay of Naples stretched out before you, including Mount Vesuvius on the horizon. From just below, you'll hear the bustle of the fishing village of Marina Grande, which you can reach by climbing down the staircase to the water's edge, passing the lush garden and a pool carved directly into the cliff face. The hotel welcomes guests aged 15 and up.

Beautiful hotel and unmatched views, exactly like website

Beautiful hotel and unmatched views, exactly like website. Sometimes photos misrepresent, not in this case. I can't even describe how beautiful and peaceful it is. Could sit on terrace and read a book forever. Plenty of books in lobby and room - picture books, paperbacks - mostly Italian, some in English. Room was lovely, Quick 15-minute walk to town, with Bay of Naples on your left. 5-minute walk to convenience store. Food was great, staff amazing and helpful. Only reason for <5* is the saggy mattress. That was a drag. I slept on very far edge of bed where it was firmest. Also, drain in shower didn't work great, but didn't call them about it because only there for day. So - nearly perfect, hopefully they do periodic checks of mattresses and upgrade soon!

Oh my! LaMinervetta is one fabulous hotel. We stayed three wonderful nights. Our room was a corner room with windows on two sides. When the curtains were up, you felt like you were flying over the Bay of Sorrento. The bes was fabulous, the decor like a movie set. The common area is beautiful with wonderful art books and art. The breakfast perfect, the staff helpful and friendly. The hotel is perched on a cliff so, if you want fabulous fish, you have to descend almost 300 steps to the Piccolo Port and then work off the dinner climbing back up. Sorrento itself is about a 15 minute walk. We just loved LaMinervetta!

Absolute gem. Have returned here for 5 years in a row. Beautiful views, treated like family, feels private and exclusive yet not over the top. Great breakfast, drinks and snacks - tomatoes to die for. Feels like staying at a friends home. They know all the best places to go - once you look beyond the touristy stuff in Sorrento there are amazing places in this area. Can’t wait to come back next year.
