I did not know what to expect from Maratea. It is steep hills and little beaches down steep hills. There are three areas, Marina De Maratea, Port and Borgo. The hotel is near Marina, which is a few kms from the other areas.
The hotel has a lovely view of the water, it is only about 1km to walk to the beach. The cost of a beach bed and umbrella is not included in the room price. Otherwise you need to drive to go anywhere, there are no walking paths nearby.
The room was lovely, with a patio that looked out over the sea.
No Italian bathrooms seem to have hair conditioner, so bring your own! And body lotion.
The restaurant is good, their rabbit tortellini was fantastic!!
Easy free parking. But all the local roads are very wind-y , be warned.
