Maison La Minervetta

La Minervetta originally a restaurant built in the 1950?s by Don Giovanni Cacace in a very unique position sits on the seacliff overlooking Marina Grande, just minutes away from the centre of Sorrento. Thanks to the breathtaking views from the terraces and salons, and the passion for fine cuisine passed onto Don Giovanni?s nephew, Luigi, ?La Minervetta? soon became one of the most prestigious restaurants of the Sorrentine peninsula. Due to its enormous success in the 1970?s, the restaurant was enlarged and transformed into a small and intimate hotel. Managed for over 30 years by outsiders, in 2003 the hotel ?La Minervetta? finally returned to the Cacace family. Signora Adda Cacace , together with her son Marco, an interior decorator and scenographer, decided to remodel and bring back the prestige from a time ago. Signora Adda, whose Danish mother taught her an appreciation for beautiful homes, wishes to welcome her guests into a harmonious atmosphere, in combination with the natural wonder of the volcano Vesuvius, the Golf of Naples, and the lively ?Marina Grande?, it is truly a jewel of the Sorrento Coast. 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 ?living? the daily life of an antique fisherman?s village.
