Sorrentine Dream Hotel

Modern nautical design + incredible views

I linger over hundreds of hotels and briefly highlight one each week

To be ensconced for a few days in the nautical pop art design aesthetic of Maison La Minervetta (Expedia | Hotels.com | Booking), among bright but harmonious colors and a worldly collection of objets d’art, would be enough were it not for the real star—the views.

Each of the 12 rooms in this boutique hotel has splurge-worthy, panoramic views of Sorrento’s Marina Grande and the Bay of Naples. You can also admire the cliffside seascape from the terrace or while thumbing through coffee table books in the Maison. The location is also great: it’s just a five-minute walk to a private beach, to restaurants and shops, and to the port, where you can catch a ferry to Naples or Capri.
