Minerva

Visited for a week in July to celebrate husband's 60th birthday. This was our second visit to the beautiful Hotel Minerva. We had the most wonderful relaxing week, made even more special by the fabulous team of staff, all so warm, thoughtful and welcoming: from reception, pool/bar, restaurant and housekeeping. You were all amazing. Where else would a member of the restaurant female staff give you one of their own hair bobbles, because i had lost mine whilst walking into Sorrento, and i was trying unsuccessfully to tie my hair up due to the heat. Our room was perfect, we had a seaview (there was no balcony but that didn't bother us. We hadn't paid for a balcony room so did not expect one) but the room we did have was large and overlooked the beautiful bay of Naples and nightly show of fireworks. The hotel is perfectly situated close to Sorrento itself to stroll there and back (but there is a bus too), but far enough away from the crowds. We stayed half board, breakfast I particularly enjoyed and the evening meals catered for everyone and the menu changed daily. The hotel is spotlessly clean. We had no complaints whatsoever during the whole stay. Whilst there, we booked an excursion to Herculaneum half day, we enjoyed the trip and the collect/return to the hotel via air conditioned coach was worth every penny as the weather was extremely hot. We will be returning to see you all again. Our only disappointment was our holiday coming to an end and returning home. Thank you all again 😊 💓.

This is not a new hotel, it has been on the Sorrento landscape for a 100+ years. It oozes old world style, class and charm. The decor doesn't let you forget this. Rooms are a fair size and we had one with a bay view (highly recommended). Breakfast was standard & you can have it on the terrace with magnificent views of Sorrento bay, unforgettable. We had dinner there one night and it couldn't be faulted. All the staff were respectfully friendly, not in your face all the time. Sorrento town is only a 5 minute direct walk away We will always remember Antonio in the bar for his professionalism and humour. We will definitely be back and can't wait.

This was the best hotel experience I have ever had. The photos do not do it justice -- beautiful views, beautiful room, beautiful balcony, breakfast was amazing. The decor and atmosphere was tranquil, beautiful, and local. What stood out was the service and staff -- every single person was friendly, helpful, attentive, and made us feel at home! Incredible value for the price and will be staying here when I come back to Sorrento. Thank you to the whole team!
