I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Minerva. The rooftop area and spa amenities were a relaxing retreat, and I appreciated the complimentary filtered water and tea/coffee station. Daily housekeeping kept my room spotless, and every member of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I cannot wait to visit again.

We had a lovely four night stay at the Hotel Minerva. Beyond the property and the rooms, the staff went well above and beyond to accommodate us as we celebrated our engagement in this beautiful city. This is a family-run hotel which is prevalent by how thoughtful and detailed the property and staff were. They were extremely friendly, helpful and made our recent engagement extra-special. We will absolutely return to Hotel Minerva for our next stay in Santa Margherita. Cheers to Frederica and family, grazie!

Absolutely loved our stay here! Came with a friend and the front desk staff were so lovely. Frederica gave us fantastic recommendations for everything we asked for, including local spots that weren’t so crowded. Can’t recommend this hotel more, very centrally located! You must try the focaccia down the street :)

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Minerva and could not have been happier with the experience. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. They truly jumped at every opportunity to help us and made us feel very well taken care of. We especially appreciated how accommodating they were when we requested a room change and later asked to extend our stay for additional nights. Everything was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The level of service made our stay feel effortless and memorable. We would happily return and highly recommend Hotel Minerva to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with outstanding staff and service.

Wonderful stay

A wonderful hotel, very clean, not far from the sea, great breakfast options and a rooftop terrace with amazing views of the harbour. All staff were friendly and helpful but special thanks to Federica who had great knowledge of the local area how to get to different places and things to see. She was also very helpful with arranging our travel back to the airport .

10/10 Exceptional

We booked this hotel last minute on our travel back to France from Venice and we are SO happy we found it. The staff were wonderful and attentive and helpful. The terrace and pool was lovely with a gorgeous view of the sea and a small gym. The morning breakfast was beautiful and generous and the garden patio we sat in was beautiful. We wish we could stay longer but will absolutely be back. Thank you to the staff for hosting us and making this stay so memorable and relaxing. Highly recommend. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable and we had a cute balcony with a view as well. Air conditioning worked great. Very easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants. I don’t often take time to write reviews but this hotel very much deserved it. Thank you thank you :) we will definitely be back and will be staying much longer.

A most perfect stay

So perfect, we EXTENDED our stay in Santa Margherita just to remain at the hotel. The best breakfast, most helpful staff, large bright room, much outdoor sitting places, roof terrace, perfect WIFI, Eng. language TV ... I can go on and on. Belive me, you will love it.

Clean but pricey for what you get

The hotel was just ok. The rate should be half of what we paid.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Minerva is perfectly located for walking into town to the shops and restaurants but also away from the noise set a few streets back. The staff at the hotel are just amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely and there was a good selection to choose from. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning worked beautifully. I would highly recommend staying here (and I am a fussy guest!)

« Un séjour très agréable ! Le personnel est charmant et attentionné, et le petit-déjeuner est délicieux. Mention spéciale pour la terrasse et sa superbe vue sur les toits de Santa Margherita. L'emplacement est tout simplement idéal pour tout faire à pied, nous avons loué les vélos seulement 15 minutes pour aller à portofino . Je recommande sans hésiter ! »

Eksepsjonelt hyggelige ansatte, som var veldig imøtekommende og hjalp til med alt. Fantastisk takterasse med basseng. Sykler og scooter til leie. Vi synes beliggenheten var veldig god, og det tok 3 minutter å gå ned til havnen med butikkene og restaurantene. Busstopp rett nedenfor ved havnen, som tar deg til og fra Portofino.

Hôtel agréable dans un joli village

Hôtel bien situé, possédant un parking privé fermé. La petite chambre est suffisante et pratique. Le personnel est à l’écoute et parle français. Plusieurs petits bars dans le village ,mention spéciale au Sabot. Aller à Portofino à pied (5 km plat) en longeant la côte permet de profiter de beaux paysages et de découvrir le village de belle manière. Le retour à Santa Margherita en bateau est une bonne option. Personnellement j’ai préféré loger à Santa Margherita et aller à Portofino que l’inverse . Portofino est très esthétique, un décor de cinéma, mais tout petit, les tarifs sont plus élevés et il y a énormément de touristes. Mais c’est incontournable !
