Maison La Minervetta occupies a lovingly restored 1950s villa perched above Marina Grande. Set-designer Marco de Luca has layered bold Vietri ceramics, Memphis-style furnishings and contemporary artworks to craft an intimate, gallery-like retreat perfect for couples with an eye for design.

Every terrace, plunge-pool corner and suite balcony has been curated to delight the senses, with sweeping views of Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples as a dramatic backdrop.

A 15-minute stroll from Sorrento’s historic centre, the property’s hidden stairway to the harbour and cliff-edge plunge pool offer effortless days soaking up the Amalfi Coast’s style and scenery—whether savouring espresso on bespoke Lisa Corti ceramics or planning a romantic ferry hop to Capri (~25 min) or Positano (~40 min).
