The whole place oozed old world understated luxury, the staff were very helpful and extremely polite. The private beach was lovely, never busy (in June), and if you don't like small pebbles you can chose the decking section by the swimming pier. Would go again in an instant.

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 Property with limited food options

Santavenere is a fabulously elegant property. The grounds were beyond compare. And the service was also impeccable. Our only issue was the availability of food after breakfast. The hotel has a pool restaurant that we used twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner. Neither experiences was acceptable. We were the only guests both time. The restaurant at the hotel is highly rated but does not start serving until 8pm. We don’t eat that late. What added to the problem was the surrounding area which also did not have viable food options that we found. This was the ONLY issue we had with the property. Beyond this, Santaverne is a 5 Star property

vacanze a Maratea

Esperienza unica, quando si chiudono le porte del cancello di ingresso, è come entrare in un'altra dimensione. Location magnifica, posto Unico. Personale sempre gentile e disponibile. Servizio ottimo. Esperienza da ripetere sicuramente,la nuova proprietà ha intenzione di fare delle ristrutturazioni, spero che questi lavori non vadano a modificare l'anima del Santavenere, è già tanto bello cosi, dove ogni angolo parla di anni vissuti e ricercatezza, di silenzio e di sogni. Ci sono delle cose da rivedere, perché ogni cosa potrebbe essere migliorata…per la lode.

Personale sempre disponibile e gentilissimo, camere grandi e con terrazzino con vista panoramica mozzafiato, grande sensazione di privacy, solo 39 camere per un parco verde bellissimo, una spiaggia estesa. La sensazione di stare “a casa”. Beppe Riboli e Milla Jas

Un solo giorno, ma...indimenticabile!! Non ho appunti da fare, né consigli da dare. E' un luogo riposante, discreto e silenzioso. Semplici ma eleganti le divise del personale, bella la musica che fa da sottofondo ai pomeriggi in piscina e anche la tipologia degli ospiti (sia nel passato, sia attuali) è di ottimo livello. Sicuramente una bella sorpresa in un Sud che non sempre offre location adeguate e lo dico da...meridionale!

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.
