We have traveled extensively and been to many beautiful spots. This hotel is 5 stars all the way. Incredible attentive service. Gorgeous views... Beach and pool... Tennis and bocce. This place had it all. Definitely in our top 5 places in the world ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra 7 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 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 ##### Debra Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sorin 24 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities been traveling globally 3 months per year in the last 10 years and this is by far the best hotel we've been to ##### Sorin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duane 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### fantastic property santavenere is spectacular - better than we saw through the booking process ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C49F1EDDEC83EC78AF3D058E36FE18BDE33607BD1727242820175.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5273EA2FED16C3383DD7BF59EB819ACDF28204061727242817678.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63B5D77C6D96A3AF0A0E8F2DA509ECDA2EA9545C1727242814489.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DFBB8729A249E8FBABFC0ED94A03F1CCE42664801727242809544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Duane Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful. ##### Alison Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer 14 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We have been fortunate to travel all over the world, but can honestly say this is the best hotel we have come across.

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. ##### Giampaolo Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### giuseppe 29 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

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! ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TimC, San Francisco and Nashville 22 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Extremely personal service.

Good service. But very noisy ( dog barking. Tiles on the room corridor) . Real problem at the restaurants ( 5 dishes missing on the menu. Bad service. One waitress only speak English. Very unhelpful) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Annamaria 3 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### 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. ##### Annamaria Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry, Vancouver BC, Canada 10 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel is situated on a beautiful extremely large piece of property on the sea, fantastic views.
