DISCOVERY / Domestic Scale Hospitality
La Minervetta, a room that could only be in Sorrento.
Colour, collected objects and sea-facing rooms give a small hotel a domestic point of view.

In a coastal room, the obvious move is to leave the sea to do all the work. La Minervetta gives the interior equal weight. Strong colour, ceramics and objects with the scale of domestic possessions make the view part of a room rather than an image hung at the end of it.
The Maison’s own room photographs are worth looking through before choosing. They show an approach to hospitality in which rooms can have different characters. The connection between the interior and Sorrento comes through the setting and arrangement, without requiring every object to carry a regional story.
Look at the exact room, its outlook and the access route you will use each day. If you value the interiors, spend time in the shared spaces too. They show how a small property can make the way it is furnished part of the reason to return.
