We ended a Ciclismo Classico bike tour in Maratea and so enjoyed the relaxing surroundings at La Locanda delle Donne Monache. We tagged on 2 extra nights at the hotel…I could have remained there for an entire week!! The only “downgrade” is the firmness of the mattresses ( we stayed in 2 different rooms). I found the mattresses throughout our tour across southern Italy to be quite firm. No big deal, though, as we slept soundly and comfortably at La Locanda.

What a terrific hotel! Everyone was warm and welcoming and they upgraded us to a magnificent suite…so roomy, clean and quiet. Breakfast was lovely with continental offerings plus eggs done your way. Freshly baked croissants, buns, with breads available for toasting. We walked to everything and the place was magical at night.

Great spot. Beautiful view. Maratea Centro is a very cool little town above the beaches and port - just a 10 minute drive to many beaches. The service was excellent, sitting by the pool was great, and the hotel gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Also conveniently the path to walk up to the Redeemer Statue is just steps away and takes less than an hour.

We loved this old convent turned hotel in the hills above the sea in Maratea, Italy. It was charming and filled with artifacts from all over the world. The owners were also charming. However, the restaurant was closed and we had to walk quite a distance to the village below for dinner. Their pool was amazing with wonderful mountain views. We felt so safe and welcome here.

Lovely hotel, staff are superb with good English

Stayed here for 3 nights and overall an excellent experience, nice rustic style rooms with slightly hard beds. Air conditioner in the room is non adjustable and would not cope in the middle of summer I suspect

Hotel has its own parking and is located on the hill above the port area, too far to walk to the port (2.5 miles) but the central square with a range of options for eating is 5 minutes walk away.

The on-site restaurant is excellent and priced a little above the other options nearby.

Not sure how you would reach the hotel without a car

Fabulous hotel with great facilities. A very interesting building full of pictures and piece s of art. Was end of season and high winds so unable to use wonderful poolside area till last day. Much enjoyed breakfasts and dinners. No lunch available and private beach was closed. A feeling of end of season in hotel and in Maratea. So enjoyed restaurants closed but the ones open were excellent. Great local walks. Such friendly and helpful staff. Car would be good but we did use buses.

Attractive hotel in quaint hilltop village

The hotel itself was lovely and the staff friendly. There is a lovely swimming pool and several attractive seating areas in the hotel and garden. The hotel is built on several levels so would not be suitable for anyone with a walking disability as there are stairs everywhere. We stayed for 3 nights. If you don't have a car this is probably sufficient as it is difficult to get around without one and taxis would be expensive (€20 between 4 of us from the station to the hotel and €15 for 2 of us back down to the station). The walk down to the marina takes about 1.5 hours - it's not sign posted. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to the beach. High season is in July and August. We were there at the end of May and the village was almost deserted with nothing much going on. The tourist office was closed but we managed to get a not-very-useful map from a travel agent. The walk to the top of the hill to the statue of Christ was pleasant. I believe there are other walks around but it was difficult to get any directions. The hotel is a lovely place to relax and pamper yourself (massages are on offer but I'm not sure if they are available all year round). The restaurant is good, as is the breakfast offering.

Shame we only stayed for one night...

This is a beautiful hotel, we arrived to a much needed welcome iced tea after 3 hours drive from Naples. The staff took our cases to our rooms and parked our car due to its location. There were road works which meant we had to go around the town but once inside, there's a set of stairs by the hotel pool to the town. A really lovely relaxing stay. Great pool and we loved the way the hotel rooms sit on different floors. Shame we only stayed for one night.

Booked at the last moment we were greeted by the delightful owners and were well looked after throughout our 3 night stay be it in the hotel generally or in the restaurant where we wined and dined well on each of our 3 nights . This was an excellent choice of hotel and we will remember the courteous attention extended to us and other discerning clientele. Only problem was being late season the swimming pool water was somewhat invigorating!

We booked a 'classico' room. The bedroom area was tiny, just enough room for standard double bed and a wardrobe. Ironically, the adjoining en-suite area was almost as large with plenty of space. There was nowhere to store a suitcase other than on top of wardrobe. Overall, it was a nice hotel. Restaurant was good but food was more European style than specific Italian... and a bit pricey. Hotel provides passes to a private beach about 8k away - worth a trip.

We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and were given a guided tour of the hotel and taken to the restaurant for lunch. The room was beautiful and the bathroom clean. The staff were attentive during meals and spoke good English. The only issue we had, which was not the hotels fault, was the the other residents would be quite noisey as they walked past your room in the morning / night time. Their suitcases and footsteps on the tiled floor would often wake you up. Would certainly go back!

You can feel the pride of the entire staff and management. They go out of their way to make sure you have a memorable stay. The food was superb. The hotel is part of the mountain and has many levels.
