UPDATED: Italy: This might just be the best (design) hotel in the world
Maison La Minervetta
Sorrento, Italy
Rooms starting at $275
Maison La Minervetta has been on my radar for a number of years. From the first time I saw it I knew I had to stay there one day. It's pretty much my dream hotel. A 1960's bachelor pad turned into a nautically themed boutique hotel. Campari colors of navy blue, lipstick red and pale blue dominate the property, which features a Lichtenstein, rock and roll photographs and posters and everything sports a picture perfect view of Naples Bay.
With rooms from $275-$475 (approx depending on exchange rate) the rooms are cheaper than most average rooms in Rome, NYC or London.
I'll let the photos speak for themselves:
