Hotel Minerva

Stunning views, exceptional service! We arrived several hours before check in, but Federica ensured that our room was made ready for our arrival. She also provided extremely detailed information and an annotated map of the local area and recommended plenty of things to do and places to visit. Including going to Camogli to watch the sunset and different ways to get to Portofino. The hotel was in a great quiet location, close enough to the centre but far enough to escape the crowds. Our room was spotless, and the view from our balcony was stunning. They gave us 2 bottles of water. We were very surprised to see the size of the room with a mezzanine with a cozy setup, including lots of warm lighting. The breakfast buffet was superb, with plenty of choices. The staff were very friendly and eager to assist; even remembering the table we picked out on the first day and had it set up and ready for us the next day. They also remembered the hot drink which we preferred and made specially for us. After calling reception about access to the pool, they came to our room and provided towels and keycards straightaway. The rooftop pool was peaceful and warm, and had a great view of the city, coast and surrounding mountains. They also saved us with a bottle opener for our wine on our final night here! All in all we had a great time here!

Went as a group of 5 (one couple, three friends). Location perfect for short easy walk to the centre of everything. Rooms clean with everything you need (apart from if you wish to have a kettle or coffee machine… but these are available from a machine near reception 24/7). Rooms cleaned daily with new towels daily and a beach towel daily as needed (just ask!). Little fridge in room with new water cartons daily. Drinks service lovely… well priced… and included bringing your drinks to you while you lounge around on the rooftop deck/ in pool with magnificent views. Breakfast… lovely spread of scrambled egg/ toast/ eggs cooked to your liking/ bacon, a display of yogurts, nuts, cereals, fruit, pancakes with syrup/ Nutella, cold meats/ cheeses. Plenty various seating areas… indoors/ under shade outside in gardens. Lift / stairs from parking area to reception and another lift or all room floors if you don’t fancy stairs. Staff friendly and always ready to help (especially Federica) with hotel requests as well as with tips for places to see or eat at. Answered emails prior to our stay promptly and efficiently. Weather was perfect.. barely a cloud in the sky all week. Hot but not intolerable. Will definitely be going back.

Very nice, but tiny, room. Lovely staff, good breakfast

Hotel Minerva is perfectly located for walking into town to the shops and restaurants but also away from the noise set a few streets back. The staff at the hotel are just amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely and there was a good selection to choose from. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning worked beautifully. I would highly recommend staying here (and I am a fussy guest!)

The service was outstanding, I've never been to a hotel 3, 4 or 5 star with anything close to the level of attention from all staff. We had a refurbished room which was exceptionally clean and up to date. Although there isn't a pool there is a large jacuzzi and decking area at the top of the hotel with lovely views across Santa Margherita.

We had a lovely 2 night stay at this hotel. Staff very helpful. in a convenient position. Parking the car in the garage was really good. Breakfast was extremely good. Definitely would recommend.

Hôtel bien situé, possédant un parking privé fermé. La petite chambre est suffisante et pratique. Le personnel est à l’écoute et parle français. Plusieurs petits bars dans le village ,mention spéciale au Sabot. Aller à Portofino à pied (5 km plat) en longeant la côte permet de profiter de beaux paysages et de découvrir le village de belle manière. Le retour à Santa Margherita en bateau est une bonne option. Personnellement j’ai préféré loger à Santa Margherita et aller à Portofino que l’inverse . Portofino est très esthétique, un décor de cinéma, mais tout petit, les tarifs sont plus élevés et il y a énormément de touristes. Mais c’est incontournable !

Accueil sympatique, magnifique jardin, pratique.

A hidden gem, with amazing facilities, service and location. Views from the roof top spa terrace were amazing. Beautiful traditional balcony with greenery hilltop views. Super comfy bed and great breakfast included!!

What a happy find at the last minute. Incredible service from very kind and respecful management. Great views from the beautiful terrace and an excellent breakfast. Convenient location. TOP in every way.
