Latest Maratea hotel reviews
Jeannkelly Says: Enjoy basking under the mediterranean sun in this part of Italy. The beach line is backdropped by the mountains. A nice sight to behold!
Jeannkelly Says: The Centro Storico of Maratea or the historical center is not very typical of what you can expect of Italy. It is indeed a small old Italian town with slow-pace of life. During siesta (1-4pm) expect that all the business establishments are closed except perhaps for a few...
Statue of the Redeemer atop Mt. Saint Blaise
Jeannkelly Says: The statue of the Redeemer is 22 meters high and have a span of 19 meters wide from arm to arm. This Redeemer is the first in Europe and second in the world after the one in Rio de Janiero. It was idealized by Count Stefano Rivetti and was the promoter of this work. It...
Jeannkelly Says: This narrow street is found in one of the corners of the historical center of Maratea. Here you can find the local artisans and craftsmen. We found tapestry, paintings and iron works (which Maratea is known for) for sale to tourists as souvenirs. If you are into local...
Maratea from atop Mt. Saint Blaise
Jeannkelly Says: Another fantastic view that you can get atop Mt. St. Blaise is the town of Maratea itself. A big part of the town is concentrated on the base of the mountain. But, certainly, there are a lot of residences, inns and trattoria near the top. For those who prefer to enjoy the...
Jeannkelly Says: It is one of the fantastic view that one can get atop Mt. St. Blaise. What you see is what you get. The coast is gifted with a fantastic shoreline with long stretch of beaches with marine-based tourist activities.The Marina of Maratea is a haven for sailors and yacht lovers.
Jeannkelly Says: The church is a Roman-Byzantine structure seems to have been built between 700AD to 1200A.D.On August 10, 1941, it was appointed "Basilica Pontifica" by Pope Pio XII. On Dec. 22, 1991, it was appointed as the church of Diocesan Sanctuary by Msgr. Rocco Talucci. Inside the...

Il Giardino di Epicuro: Lovely family Italian Restaurant
Beausoleil Says: When we arrived at our resort, a young woman handed us a business card and we tucked it away for future reference. We looked later and discovered it was a small restaurant just up the hill from the resort so one day we decided to drive up and eat there.We parked on the road...
Bar Ristorante Pizzeria White Horse: An American name but definitely Italian restaurant
Beausoleil Says: I had noticed an attractive restaurant down the hill from our resort and they had parking so we stopped for lunch and were very glad we did. Prices were reasonable, food was excellent, ambiance down-home Italian, service terrific. Our gentleman waiter spoke no English but...
Camping Maratea Pizzeria: Pizza Napolitana
Jeannkelly Says: The other food in Camping Maratea is "schifo" (awful in Italian!)... forget about the bar and the other things you can get... BUT, NEVER EVER SNOB the Pizzeria of Camping Maratea. Its' just one of the best that you can have in the entire town!Don't think about the ambience...
Jeannkelly Says: The Agri-tourism that we went to near Camping Maratea had a fixed menu for the night which consist of anti-pasto (mainly of pickled vegetable and a variety of cheeses), first plate (usually pasta), second plate (meat) and some salad. Beverage is an additional cost.The...
Jeannkelly Says: Trattorias are very common in small town summer areas of Italy. In Maratea, its dotted with several along the highway.Trattorias are lesser versions of restuarants so don' expect fabulous dining experience. The service is quite ordinary with one or two servers. However, they...
Jeannkelly Says: Every night, the resort beside Camping Maratea would have a fireworks show. And if you are in the beach at night with your loved one, it's just so romantic. It's one of those things that you can enjoy at night in a quaint town like Maratea and in a camping resort like...
Camping Maratea (Campeggio Maratea)
Jeannkelly Says: The town center of Maratea should just be a side trip. Go to the coast because that is where the real holiday is. Though the beach is not pearly white (oh, not at all!) it's the best that you can get in this town. One thing that is nice though is the panorama that you can...
Tolik Says: Two hundred meters below the Pianeta Maratea Residence, there is a small whitewashed chapel. To visit it, walk down the private road linking the resort with the beach area. Two – three minutes later you will see the chapel on your right. Wide terrace with clear footpath...
Jeannkelly Says: Fireworks are endless in Maratea summer especially in some beach resorts. It's a nice show to watch on near the beach at night. It made me feel how summer could be so fantastic in this lovely and quaint little town of Maratea.
Jeannkelly Says: I just couldn't help it but to take a snap of this very antiquated part of an old building in the old center of Maratea. I pressumed this is a residential building because of how it is being kept, with the roses and all. Maratea is such an old quaint town. Yes, old but...
