La Minerva lived up to all the rave reviews. We were among the first guests of the season, and were upgraded to a beautiful junior suite with terrace. Welcome drinks, delicious and peaceful lunch near the pool, bathrobes, plush slippers and comfortable bed soothed our jet lag. Our two-night stay happened to coincide with the G-7 meeting of foreign ministers and rough seas that cancelled the ferry we had planned to take to continue our journey. The brothers who run La Minerva rose to the occasion, supplying us with the paperwork needed to pass through checkpoints, and organizing seamless alternative travel for us. The friendly, impeccable service, peaceful location and gorgeous views made La Minerva the ideal place to stay on Capri.
