The whole place oozed old world understated luxury, the staff were very helpful and extremely polite. The private beach was lovely, never busy (in June), and if you don't like small pebbles you can chose the decking section by the swimming pier. Would go again in an instant.

we came for one night and ended up extending for another 3 days … this place is magical the staff makes you feel like you’re family . it’s a 5 star hotel for a reason it is a memorable experience food was also excellent definitely a place to unwind

Amazing facilities, views, breakfast and super friendly staff

Alle tiders - helt topp !

Linda propiedad pero costosa y pocos servicios

Simply superb! We will be back best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in ( we are in our early 59’s and travelled a lot). This is understated professional elegance. Beautiful quiet location in the Mediterranean.

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

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

Wonderful relaxing spot

santavenere is spectacular - better than we saw through the booking process

Absolutely beautiful.

Impresionante hotel con una playa privada espectacular y alberca. Muy bueno el desayuno y los restaurantes dentro del hotel. La cama es excelente y la atención de todo el personal también

We have been fortunate to travel all over the world, but can honestly say this is the best hotel we have come across. Amazing

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!

Fantastisk perle som klart kan anbefales. Beliggenheden er uovertruffen og servicen i top fra det altid smilende, hjælpsomme og opmærksomme personale.

Torno sempre con piacere in un posto splendido e con personale attento ed affabile.

been traveling globally 3 months per year in the last 10 years and this is by far the best hotel we've been to

A gem of a property with an incredible staff. Photographs do not do it justice. Will be back.

This place is a paradise in both location & facilities. Old world service in an establishment that offers guests luxury, privacy and fabulous amenity. The surrounding area is gorgeous

Esperienza unica, quando si chiudono le porte del cancello di ingresso, è come entrare in un'altra dimensione. 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.
