La Minervetta, originally a restaurant built in the 1950's by Don Giovanni Cacace, sits in a very unique position; on the seacliff overlooking Marina Grande, just minutes away from the centre of Sorrento. Thanks to the breathtaking views and the fine cuisine it soon became one of the most prestigious restaurants on the peninsula and was enlarged and transformed into a small and intimate hotel in the 1970's.
In 2003, Signora Adda Cacace and her son Marco, an interior decorator and scenographer, decided to remodel and restore the hotel to its former glory. The hotel opened in the spring of 2005 with a large lounge area, dining room and kitchen accessible to the guests, opening onto an exclusive terrace with spectacular views.
La Minervetta offers all the comforts of being in a private home. With 12 Mediterranean style rooms and windows gazing down onto Marina Grande, guests will truly enjoy experiencing the daily life of an antique fisherman's village. The Maison's style is modern, with warm touches of ethnic objects, libraries filled with picture books, architectural and design journals, and many vintage pieces. The hotel offers a comfortable, yet luxurious, special setting for its guests.
