Adorable coastal village: Charming holiday apartments and Bed & Breakfast at Minori

The friendly coastal village of Minori is located between Amalfi and Maiori. Its name has nothing to do with size, but is of ancient origin. At Roman times, Minori was called Reginna Minoris, to be distinguished from neighboring Reginna Maioris (today’s Maiori), and was named after the river which runs through the village.

Basilica S. Trofimena in the village center is surely worth a visit; the relics of Saint Trofimena – once the patron saint of the entire Costiera Amalfitana – are kept there.

In 1932, the discovery of a Roman villa marittima dating from the first century AD at Minori bore witness to the fact that „Reginna Minoris“ used to be a popular holiday resort with well-to-do Romans.

Today, visitors to this archaeological site get to admire well preserved frescos and floor mosaics. The holiday apartments and Bed&Breakfast we arrange for are ideal starting points for discovery tours into the history of the region.

Former center of pasta production

At the times of the maritime republic of Amalfi, one of the most significant shipyards was found at Minori. Later on, the coastal village's economy was based mainly on the production of fresh pasta.

In the realm of Naples-Sicily, Minori was one of the centers of pasta production and the numerous mills in town its visible proof. Later on, production was transferred inland to Gragnano, which, today, is famous for its pasta all over Italy. Meanwhile, agriculture in Minori is based on the cultivation of citrus fruit – lemon and orange trees frame the coastal village, which is typical for the Amalfi Coast.

Whether you prepare it yourself, at your holiday accommodation, or savor it at a restaurant – at Minori, pasta simply tastes original and delicious.
