La Locanda Delle Donne Monache: 18th-Century Charm and Panoramic Luxury in Maratea
La Locanda Delle Donne Monache is an exclusive 4-star luxury hotel nestled in the heart of the historic center of Maratea, the 'Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea'. This unique structure is housed in a charming and meticulously restored convent dating back to 1735 that once hosted the Visitandine nuns. The hotel combines the simplicity and tranquility of monastic environments with modern comfort and discreet luxury, offering an oasis of peace between the pristine sea and the picturesque Lucanian village.
History and Architecture: The Essence of an Ancient Convent
The restoration of La Locanda faithfully preserved the original style, shapes, and materials of the 18th-century building, creating a unique and historically fascinating atmosphere. The hotel features 27 rooms and suites, each carefully furnished with simple yet elegant furniture and fine fabrics (such as Frette linens). The most exclusive suites recall the former occupants with evocative names, such as the 'La Vicaria' Suite, which boasts a captivating bathroom carved into the rock.
The Panoramic Pool and Garden Relaxation
The centerpiece of summer relaxation is the large panoramic outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by an equipped sun terrace, where guests can enjoy a splendid view of the rooftops of Maratea's historic center and the majestic Christ the Redeemer statue. Adjacent to the pool, a whirlpool tub (Jacuzzi) allows for a moment of wellness immersed in the scents of the lush garden, rich in bougainvillea, jasmine, and lemon trees. The resort is also an ideal starting point for excursions to the coast, offering a shuttle service to the beautiful Lucanian beaches.
The Lucanian Gastronomic Experience at Il Sacello Restaurant
The culinary offering celebrates the tradition of Basilicata. The internal restaurant, Il Sacello, offers light and typical cuisine, enhancing local land and sea products. During the warmer months, the outdoor portico overlooking the garden and pool becomes the ideal setting for romantic dinners. The day begins with a rich continental breakfast buffet served in the bright veranda, which includes homemade cakes, organic products, and, upon request, gluten-free and lactose-free options.
Additional Services and Strategic Location
La Locanda boasts a privileged location, a short walk from the alleys and squares of the historic center, rich in boutiques and traditional restaurants. Among the additional services offered, the hotel provides guests with free private parking with valet service, a small meeting room for events up to 50 people, and an elegant bar, L'Alambicco, perfect for sunset aperitifs, and a fitness center.

His Opinion: Il personale è particolarmente gentile. Abbiamo apprezzato la giornata trascorsa alla spiaggia e il trasporto gratuito.
L'edificio è molto bello e particolare, le parti comuni arredate con gusto. Per quanto riguarda la nostra camera manca forse un piccolo sforzo nell'arredamento. Le camere che appaiono sul sito sembrano molto più belle (Calera N° 4).
Non avro nessun problema a consigliarlo.
Cortesi saluti.
