Via Occhio Marino, 8 - Capri

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.

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.
