Hotel Minerva

Wonderful hotel: fabulous views, spacious large room and bed, delicious breakfast, friendly team and easy car parking. A perfect component of our very own Grand Tour!

Stunning views, roof top Pool was delightful, fantastic breakfast in the morning! What a great spot to explore the coast!

Bed was slightly firm

Breakfast was quite good but could have had more choice for hot foods. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The bathroom could have had more toiletries such as conditioner, body lotion, vanity kits that one would expect from a hotel costing €500 per night. Balcony views were stunning.

We would have expected fresh complimentary bottles of water every day.

Beautiful Hotel. Excellent Location. Friendly Staff.

Great view!

Floors were dirty, they have tiles that don’t clean well. We had ants in our first room and they relocated us…

Minerva Hotel is in the perfect position above Marina Grande with spectacular views across the bay to Mount Vesuvius. The hotel is older style and has a lovely charm about it. The walk into Sorrento takes around 5-10 minutes. The staff are lovely and cannot do enough for you. We visited early November 2025 and had an almost perfect week of sun, even spending time on the roof top terrace catching some rays. The hotel has good facilities but would say more geared up for the older guest. The only minor comment from us would be the lack of variety of food at dinner time, every dish came with potatoes, but that could have been because we travelled on an escorted group holiday. Overall the food was lovely, especially the good selection offered at breakfast, including pastries to die for. The hotel seems to have many returning guests over the years, we loved our visit and would definitely return again.

The staff

The colour scheme

Breakfast was excellent. The balcony was spacious w outstanding views. The room clean and comfortable.

Location is not around shops or restaruants. Bathroom was small and awkward. The street in front is busy and potentially dangerous.

Excellent hotel in ideal location. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had sea front rooms with balcony. Rooms were spacious and clean and the views of Vesuvius and Sorrento bay were spectacular. The pool was great. Ee would have used it more if the weather had been warmer. We were half board and the food was excellent. It was 20 minute walk to Tasso piazza along road with slight incline so quite an easy walk. We used lift to go down to the harbour which was very easy but the harbour was not really worth the effort. Would definitely use this hotel again.
