La Minerva Capri 4 stars

Vaulted ceilings, majolica floor tiles, graceful arches and sweeping terraces: features which together create the unique ambience of Capri's Hotel La Minerva.

The hotel, recently completely renovated, enjoys a wonderfully panoramic and peaceful position just a few steps away from the bustling Via Camerelle, the Piazzetta, the Charterhouse of San Giacomo and Via Tragara.

Hotel La Minerva's 18 spacious, light-filled bedrooms are decorated with a delightful combination of traditional Mediterranean and contemporary furnishings. Deluxe rooms feature bathrooms fitted with Jacuzzi baths overlooking the sea. The majority of rooms lead out on to private, sea-view terraces where, on request, a delicious breakfast is served, at no additional cost.

Guests wishing to relax and enjoy the Italian sunshine, are likely to spend much of their vacation in the hotel's terraced garden, by the side of La Minerva's new swimming pool, perhaps sipping on one of the hotel's legendary fresh fruit "granita", served at the Pool Bar.
