Hotel La Minerva in Capri Village

Lovely hotel with sea views located on a quiet lane in Capri. Delicious breakfast buffet, friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful room (we stayed in #53), balcony

We stayed at La Minerva for three nights in October and had the most wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome — the hotel has such a warm, family-like atmosphere and the service is outstanding everywhere: reception, restaurant, housekeeping (twice a day!), and even small details that make you feel truly cared for. Breakfast was delicious and dinner was simply exceptional — definitely Michelin-level, thanks to Chef Antonio Balbi. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Capri’s main square, the Gardens of Augustus, and all the boutique shops. Our room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, with a terrace overlooking the sea. We also loved the heated swimming pool and the relaxing massage service, which made our stay even more special. We honestly loved everything — it’s one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. We’ll definitely recommend La Minerva to friends and can’t wait to come back!

The BEST hotel experience I have ever had. The La Minerva Team couldn't have been more attentive, helpful, and kind. When my husband come back to Capri we will not be staying anywhere else besides La Minerva - the team makes you feel like family and we are already planning our next trip and telling all of our friends and family to stay here - you will not regret it! The team made all of our dinner and beach club reservations, including a booking for a private boat tour - they made everything so easy. We loved the rooftop restaurant for breakfast and dinner - there was a beautiful singer the night we had dinner here and it was easily our favorite night our whole honeymoon. Our room was beautiful, location was perfect - can't recommend enough.

I now want every hotel I stay in to have a small, personalized boutique feel with a cozy, high-end restaurant on the roof overlooking the sea. The service was excellent, and the rooms absolutely lovely. The tiny bar made fantastic drinks, and when we returned to our room after dinner, candles were lit, romantic music was playing, a rose was on the bed...the hotel team knows how to make the stay feel special. It may not have some of the services that a larger hotel can offer (e.g., full-service spas, large fitness centers, multiple restaurants), but I enthusiastically will give up all of that for what a high-end boutique hotel like La Minerva offers--perfection in detail. I've been trying to find hotels closer to home that can replicate the experience--so far no luck! We may just need to wait until next time we can make it back to La Minerva in Capri.

La Minerva is a local family owned boutique hotel with wonderful amenities and all of the offerings of a larger hotel. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. Our room was wonderful with a great view of the ocean, a very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The pool was wonderful with plenty of seat options and great service around the pool. Morning breakfast on the roof was included in our room price and was always delicious. The location is perfect with again the wonderful views, yet an easy 2 minute walk the the famed Capri shopping district. A great stay.

While most of the five star hotels across the world forgot that their prime business is hospitality, La Minerva is very rare example of the hotel having hospitality as cornerstone of the business. Great experience from the booking till leaving the hotel, smooth, pleasant and seamless in each and every process. Hotel staff, including the owners, Antonino and Marco, as well as their team Fabio and Federica were proactively in touch with me from the moment I booked (that was about six months ago) with all the issues that I might have, including, but not limited to transfer from Naples airport, reservation in best restaurants, reservation of beach clubs, arranging boat tours and many others. The property itself is also wonderful, decorated with taste and all necessary amenities. Our very large rooms had balconies with great sea view. Rooms were made several times a day. There is very nice breakfast on terrace, with big choice of food and great service. Thank you gentile Kamal:) Location is also perfect, the hotel is just off the major tourists flows, but in literally 2 minutes walk from via camerelle, the main high end shopping street of Capri. So, thank you La Minerva team for arranging this perfect week for us🙏🏻

We visited Capri in May 2025 and a wonderful stay at La Minerva. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with every detail considered. The decor, the tiles, the artwork, the views, all absolutely stunning. The property is beautifully thought out and maintained; flowers and fruit trees everywhere; a warm inviting pool; a comfortable living room in the lobby for aperitivo. But most noticable and appreciated was the friendliness and kindness of the staff. From the owners to the lovely people at the front desk, the bartender, the servers in the restaurant, the housekeeping, I could on and on. Everyone is professional and incredibly friendly. It truly feels like you are staying with family or good friends. We even ran into Federica (front desk) one evening on our way back to the hotel, when her shift was over, and she stopped to ask us how our dinner was. Thank you La Minerva for thinking of everything and for making our mother/daughter trip so memorable. We can't wait to come back!

La Minerva was one of those rare experiences where reality far exceeded expectations. I had done a lot of research before our trip and insisted on staying here, even when my travel agent suggested the usual bigger hotels. I’m so glad I trusted my instincts. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was so warm it felt like they’d been waiting just for us. The hotel is even more beautiful in person—chic, sparkling, and full of charm. Housekeeping was the most attentive I’ve ever encountered, and the front desk was always available with helpful advice and thoughtful recommendations. While the walk to the hotel is a bit longer, the quiet, private location away from Capri’s crowds is part of what makes it so special. Peaceful, elegant, and run with true heart.

I’m someone who truly values privacy and impeccable service, which is why I tend to stay at Aman properties whenever possible. While Capri doesn’t have an Aman, Hotel Minerva comes very close to delivering that same understated sense of luxury. What makes Minerva so special is its intimacy. The owners are incredibly detail‑oriented and genuinely committed to crafting the best possible experience for every guest. From tailored itineraries to their excellent private boat and insider restaurant recommendations, everything feels thoughtfully curated. The rooftop terrace, where breakfast is served, is a highlight—breathtaking views paired with a serene atmosphere. The poolside restaurant feels like you’re dining at a friend’s home, and the lobby has the warmth of a beautifully designed living room where someone you know personally pours you a drink. The location is exceptional, and the views from the rooms are spectacular. Every corner of the property has been considered to make you feel both at ease and quietly indulged. Within Europe, I’ve stayed at some of the top summer destinations—Cap Rocat, Belmond La Residencia Mallorca, Amanzoe, Aman Sveti Stefan, and San Domenico Palace Taormina—and I can confidently say that Minerva ranks among them. It’s that perfect blend of discreet service, intimate atmosphere, and a true sense of place.

Our stay was absolutely impeccable. This boutique hotel perfectly captures the essence and charm of Capri. Owned and personally managed by two brothers, their hands-on approach and genuine hospitality shine through in every detail. The entire team—owners included—goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is nothing short of exceptional. The concierge service was outstanding, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. The on-site restaurant served some of the finest meals we had during our time in Capri—truly memorable. We were generously upgraded to a dream-worthy room with a breathtaking view, making our honeymoon even more special. An absolute must when visiting Capri.
