Address
Via Occhio Marino, 8 - Capri

An intimate and romantic boutique hotel in the heart of bustling Capri town, La Minerva is centrally located just steps from the Piazzetta, yet tucked away in a quiet corner for a total peace and quiet when you are ready to unwind.

Island Style

Recently renovated, Hotel La Minerva has a total of just 19 stylish bedrooms, featuring contemporary decor paired with classic vaulted ceilings, graceful arches, and colorful hand-painted majolica floor tiles so typical of traditional island architecture.
Nearly all rooms on the six terraced levels gradually descending down the hillside toward the water open out on to a large private terrace or balcony, framed by lush bougainvillea and funished with elegant loungers and dining sets.

La Minerva's Deluxe rooms are the most popular with guests, who love the sun-drenched bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and spacious walk-in closets.

Poolside Beauty

The lush garden, with its sweetly scented citrus and almond trees, is the perfect setting for the quiet swimming pool with views of the sea and the medieval Charterhouse of San Giacomo.

If you want to spend the day relaxing by the pool, you can order snacks or a light lunch of freshly prepared salads, sandwiches, and pastas and cool down with a fruit juice cocktail or granita made fresh at the Pool Bar.
During the warm summer months, La Minerva serves a generous buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the coastline and sea, the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail in the evening, as well. Otherwise, have a nightcap at the elegant indoor lobby bar with its selection of the finest labels from single malt whiskey to gin or grappa, and signature house cocktails.

The Best of Capri

La Minerva is located in one of the quietest corners of Capri, though the glamorous Piazzetta and Via Camerelle, where the most fashionable designer boutiques and restaurants on the island are located, are a short walk away.
The hotel offers a full-service concierge, who can recommend breathtaking coastal walks nearby, or organize boat tours to see the island's famous sea caves, day trips to the Amalfi Coast, and travel services like all-inclusive transfers and guided tours.

If you want to unwind during your stay, La Minerva's in-house massage therapist Annamaria offers personalized massage services in the soothing dedicated massage room, so you can leave the stress of travelling behind!

True Hospitality

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🙏🏻

An incredible and memorable hotel!

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!

Reality exceeded expectations

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.

Aman-like vibes

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.
