A peaceful oasis near the Piazzetta

  1. The views of over Capri's coastline and sea
  2. The panoramic pool amidst the citrus trees
  3. An oasis of peace within steps of the Piazzetta

A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the historic center of Capri, La Minerva is the perfect combination of a central location and peaceful getaway on this paradisiacal Italian island.

Boutique Style

Intimate and exclusive, Hotel La Minerva has a total of just 19 lovely, light-filled bedrooms, featuring the vaulted ceilings, graceful arches and exquisite hand-painted majolica floor tiles typical of Capri's elegant private homes.
Nearly all rooms open out on to a generously sized terrace or balcony, framed by brightly colored bougainvillea.

The most sought-after rooms in the house? La Minerva's Deluxe rooms have marvelous light-filled bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and walk-in closets for extra space.

Panoramic Pleasures

The hotel's private garden, abundant in sweet-smelling citrus trees and almond trees, features an attractive swimming pool with views of the sea and the medieval Charterhouse of San Giacomo.

A delicious selection of freshly prepared salads, sandwiches and the hotel's famous crushed ice drinks are available at the Pool Bar.
During the long summer season, La Minerva's generous buffet breakfast is served on the hotel's open-air terrace. In the evenings, the same terrace provides the panoramic venue for sunset aperitifs or you can relax at the indoor lobby bar and sample from the selection of the finest labels from single malt whiskey to gin, grappa, and house cocktails.

Capri, Inside and Out

Despite its location in one of the quietest areas of Capri, Hotel La Minerva lies within easy walking distance of the famous Piazzetta, and the glamorous Via Camerelle where all of the island's most fashionable designer boutiques and restaurants are located.
Those eager to experience the natural beauty of Capri will find any number of breathtaking coastal walks in the vicinity of the hotel. La Minerva's affable concierge will be pleased to organize boat excursions, including visits to the island's many sea caves, and across the waters to the nearby Amalfi Coast.

A perfect stay!

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.

Superb Stay in Capri

A superb property that has spared no effort in ensuring quality throughout. The reception welcome and constant assistance has been overwhelming to say the least, from recommending to arranging reservations in restaurants and constantly ensuring that we were happy. The breakfast on the rooftop is outstanding both in choice of food and beverages. The service attended by Kamal a 20+ years longstanding Maitre D, has made all the difference too, made us feel at home both on the rooftop and at the charming swimming pool. This property thrives on returning clients for obvious reasons, we will surely not hesitate to return if we are lucky enough to find availability as and when we decide so, and would definitely advise other exploring clients to do the same, if you’re lucky to get an availability then go for it with your eyes closed 😎

dream villa Arabella

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.
