La Locanda delle Donne Monache Maratea

Maratea's Locanda delle Donne Monache is an elegant and quite unique hotel, result of the skilful restoration and transformation of an 18th century convent in luxury hotel.

Every care has been taken to conserve the original architectural features of the building, first constructed in 1735. At the same time, the intelligent integration of the latest in modern technology ensure that guests enjoy the highest levels of comfort. Rooms, once used by the sisters of the Vistandone order for prayer and meditation, still transmit a wonderful sensation of peace and tranquillity.

Guests dining at the hotel's "Il Sacello" restaurant are presented with menus featuring exquisite Mediterranean dishes, all of which inspired by the highly acclaimed local gastronomic tradition. A well-researched selection of regional wines ensures the perfect accompaniment to each and every meal. Wines and cocktails are also available at the Locanda delle Donne Monache's stylish bar "L'Alambicco". During the warm summer evenings, meals are served beneath the portico facing out onto gardens.

A well-equipped meeting room provides an exclusive venue in Maratea where to conduct business or entertain as many as 50 guests. An attractive swimming pool, overlooking the historic center of Maratea, is located in the gardens of the hotel. The town's beaches are within easy walking distance.

La Locanda delle Donne Monache is located in Maratea, on one of the most spectacular stretches of Italy's Tyrrhenian coast. The hotel is situated in the historic center of the principal town of the Basilicata's Noce valley, nestled between the neighbouring regions of Campania and Calabria.
