Since 1956, Santavenere has been a place where stories meet and intertwine.
Stories shaped by the land, by a vision that changed Maratea, and by the lives of travellers who have come here over seven decades.
Relax and dedicate time to yourself in the large halls and behold the beauty of the landscape in Maratea from the immense windows. Whether it’s the golden light of the morning or the fiery red of the sunsets on the sea, every window frames the stunning colours of the private gulf.
The outdoor area is designed so that guests can find their own spot to enjoy the peace and quiet of this unique place. It is always possible to find a peaceful corner by the pool, read a newspaper while relaxing on an armchair in the shade of a gazebo, or relax on the white patio surrounded by natural beauty.
Enjoy a dip in the large outdoor swimming pool surrounded by sunbeds, gazebos, and wicker sofas. Taste delicious cocktails and experience the magic of the sunset, when the surrounding natural beauty is reflected in the crystal-clear blue water.
The pathways allow for long walks surrounded by the silence of nature; the secret trails immersed in greenery lead to the sea, slowly unveiling breathtaking views. The park of ten hectares depicts a typical Mediterranean landscape, complete with oak trees, maples, pines, and scents of juniper, cornflowers, and primrose. The vibrant bougainvillaea and brilliant shrubs add colour to the landscape, which changes with the seasons.
Listen to the waves crash against the pebble, mull over your memories, and savour the peace of mind you can only find by the sea. The private beach is fully equipped and approximately one kilometre long. Here, all guests are promised maximum privacy and comfort. An oasis of peace where the sun casts a dance of shimmering lights on the water and natural cliffs create spaces reserved only for the guests.
