Our original booking in the Riviera was over-booked, so they offered us the Minerva instead..and we are so glad they did. This is a real slice if Italian hospitality. Lovely staff, nice pool on the roof, and a lovely balcony view of Vesuvius(see pics). Loved the shower in the room too. We ate out all but 2 nights, and the... more

My husband and I have just returned after a week at the Minerva and I have to admit that although we had a great time I've got mixed feelings about the hotel. Lets start with the positives. The view is stunning, you could happily sit on the terrace all day and just watch the numerous boats and cruise liners go... more

My friend and I stayed at the Minerva from 6-13 June. The hotel was fabulous and we could not wish for more. The staff and the service were excellent. We always looked forward to having dinner at the hotel, no need to eat out! The views from our balcony and the terrace were wonderful! We intend to return to the... more

We have just returned from this hotel and wanted to share how fantastic this hotel is. The views from the veranda are stunning in the day and night. The food is lovely and the hotel staff are so nice and helpful. There's lots of choice on the menu for food and if you don't like any of the options, the... more

I cannot say enough good things about the Minerva. In fact, I hate to say anything good at all, since I do not want to do to the Minerva what Frances Mayes has done to Tuscany! It would best remain a jewel only few know about. However, I can't do such a disservice to such an incredible hotel. It is... more

This was our second stay at the Hotel Minerva. We stayed from Friday the 13th June 2008 until Friday the 20th June 2008. I was a little concerned before our departure the hotel standards may had slipped from reading other travellers’ reviews however, I can confirm the hotel was better than I remembered and I strongly disagree with some of... more

We have just returned from a week at this most amazing hotel. All the staff without exception were most obliging. I cannot believe the couple of bad reviews, I guess some people just cannot be pleased. The food was fabulous and we had planned on having a couple of meals out but decided that we would be comparing them to... more

We had the most wonderful time staying at the Minerva Hotel. The views from our Room Balcony were terrific. Also the views from the dinning area & general Terraces & Roof Top Pool Area were also breath taking. Superb location - enjoyed the short 10 minute walk into the town centre daily as this route overlooked the Bay and old... more

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful stay in Sorrento and the Minerva hotel. I would not hesitate to recommend this rustic and traditional hotel. The views from all communal areas and most of the rooms are stunning. The hotel itself is spotless, and the staff efficient but friendly. Admittedly, there was some noise in the hallways,... more
