Hotel Minerva

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Minerva with another couple and we were very pleased with our stay. The hotel is well appointed and beautifully decorated. We stayed in a room with a balcony with views of the bay of Naples, Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius. We used our balcony every night. The rooftop pool had a bar and lunch available and spectacular views. We enjoyed breakfast daily and Giusseppe made our mornings special with his cheerful welcome and attentive service. The buffet offerings were expansive and everything was fresh. We also enjoyed lunch at the restaurant and the food and service were excellent. Minverva sits on the cliffs on a hill on the outskirts of Sorrento. We are in our 50???s and 60???s and had no difficulty walking to the town or the port for the Ferry. The hill is gently sloping and a regular walker should be able to manage. We would definitely stay at Hotel Minerva again.

What an amazing hotel! The views are absolutely stunning! The best I???ve seen anywhere. The staff are also a large part of why this place is so good. They are all so helpful and friendly. We looked forward to seeing Giuseppe and his team in the restaurant each day, and Antonio in the bar in the evenings, who was always happy to see you and offer friendly advice. We were half board and ate here 5 out of 7 days. The food is lovely and plenty of it!Not a buffet but a restaurant with a varied menu that changes each day. We stayed in a room with a large balcony (with that incredible view) in the main building. You only get sun in the mornings but in this heat, we welcomed the shade on the occasions we sat out there. As other reviews had mentioned the road noise, we requested a room on a high level (we were in room 511) and we didn???t hear any noise from the road at all! The location is perfect, just a short 10min walk to the centre (worth it for those views) within easy reach to do Pompeii, Positano and Capri, all of which I recommend! The only negatives I can find, is that the showers here are very noisy, if your neighbours shower early it wakes you up! And also, the bathroom needs a hook or towel rail to hang your towels up! A wonderful stay and highly recommend!
