10/10 Experience
Il Santavenere is definitely a 10/10 experience. From the moment you arrive you are in a true oasis - just what you want from a break by the sea. The staff are all (and I mean all) friendly, personable and helpful. The rooms are luxurious, including the beds and washrooms, without being overly showy. The views overlooking the sea are stunning. Maratea itself is definitely a nice little town and Il Santavenere is a hidden gem in Basilicata. We're already planning our next trip back and can't wait to be there again!

Great location, service and rooms to improve
The hotel has a great location, wonderful sea views, wonderful park, the external parts are very beautiful and elegant, The breakfast terrace is just great. Unfortunately our deluxe sea view double room was very humid, our clothes smelled with humidity, this is neither good nor healthy, for lack of information we didn't know, until our last day there, that there were other similar rooms on the top floor, we would have preferred one of them, also we had to change room the very first day because the door of the shower was broken, we took a shower and the bathroom was flooded with water, a broken, actually missing, shower door in a 5stars L hotel is not really acceptable. But mainly the unhealthy humidity was a problem. We had pleasant experience with some of the staff, Enzo at the main restaurant was great and also Francesco and Domenico at the beach, Francesco helped with many useful info. On the other hand the service at the beach restaurant wasn't good, once I ordered a dish and I got a different one..and there were only 2 tables to serve, service often slow and no coffee at all!! Also at the reception we had mixed experiences and above all we didn't get the 10%off food promised by expedia.

The hotel is situated on a beautiful extremely large piece of property on the sea, fantastic views. Staff very friendly and helpful. The bathroom amenities were a bit lacking and the pillows were awful. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ate in a local pizzeria which was fantastic

A real luxury escape
This hotel is an absolute delight, we had a sea view room and the view was breathtaking. The room was spotless with a really big comfy bed. The grounds are outstanding and the beach was such a tranquil and peaceful place with the clearest water! The only downside is that the restaurant and lunch bar, are very pricey

We had driven over 350kms and wondering about the hotel given this was our first visit. The facilities, scenery, service from all the staff were fantastic. An incredible experience all round. The rugged, unspoiled coastline around Maratea is spectacular with the glistening clear blue sea. A very special place, well worth a visit.

1700s Antique filled Villa
Unique experience, very hard to find due to tiny sign and locked, chained entrance. The villa is not visible from the road, we almost gave up. Of course not speaking Italian was also the standard hinderacne. The challenge to persevere in the dusk drove us to find it. We also learned that the street # in Tuscuny is the # of meters from the start of the street. The hosts were awesome and the breakfast served to us alone in the antique furnished main entertaining room will be remembered forever, and I am sure never duplicated. We would go back.
