We just returned from Capri 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 friendly. It truly feels like you are staying with family or good friends. We even ran into Frederica (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!

My girlfriend and I spent three nights at La Minerva over Easter weekend 2025 and had a wonderful time. We hadn't booked any activities prior to arriving, and the reception staff gave us great and practical suggestions while handling all of the bookings. Shoutout to Fabio who took great care of us and helped make it a truly memorable long weekend. Great location, great breakfast, and perfect temperature in the pool. I can't recommend La Minerva enough.

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.

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.
