La Minerva

La Minerva, a full-fledged hotel with many amenities, is located in a quiet section of Capri, slightly off the beaten track, yet still quite central, permitting easy access to the more bustling areas of town—a walkers’ paradise with no motorized transportation allowed. Glass entrance doors look straight through the capacious reception/sitting area across glossy blue-and-white tiled floors out to a view of the sea through another set of glass doors at the opposite end of the room. The captivating sea views through umbrella pine trees will strike you every time you come and go, as well as from most bedrooms. Rooms, all below this level, are reached by elevator. One floor up there is the beautiful roof terrace which provides a stunningly panoramic outdoor breakfast room, with tables set beneath a natural cane canopy, and surrounded by strelitzia, white bougainvillea and solanum plants. The hotel’s royal-blue-and-white tile theme follows through in the luminous guestrooms (standard or larger superior doubles), which are accented by an occasional antique piece. Deluxe doubles have Jacuzzi bathtubs and larger terraces with sea view. Light lunches are available around the poolside with splendid views.
