La Minerva

Top choice in Capri


This gleaming establishment is a model of Capri style and considered by many to be one of the best hotels in Italy. The 19 rooms, which cascade down the hillside, feature ravishing blue and white ceramic tiles, silk drapes and cool 100% linen sheets, while terraces come with sun loungers, jacuzzis and obligatory sea views.

And then there's the gorgeous pool, surrounded by a veritable arboretum of trees, as well as the genteel lobby bar with its unique cocktails, and the general pinch-yourself atmosphere of pure bliss.

Room prices start at €190 and head north, but there's one single room (€100 to €140) and a cheaper double (from €140) available without views.
