Maison la Minervetta

From its cliffside setting just outside Sorrento, Maison La Minervetta offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius which are mirrored in the Mediterranean charm of its bright, nautical-inspired decor and vibrant ceramics. Formerly a family-run restaurant, this boutique hotel now offers 12 sea-facing rooms that boast floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies offering panoramic vistas of the azure waters. Whether unwinding on the sea-facing sun terrace or in the pool, you’re never far from the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean.

While there’s no restaurant, a lavish breakfast spread is a good start to the day and the restaurants and bars of Marina Grande can be reached by a long flight of stairs that winds down the cliff. Inviting lounges and terraces lend themselves to curling up with a good book, while the attractions of Sorrento, Positano and the coastal towns are within reach along the Amalfi’s renowned coastal drive.
