This 23 room villa hotel is the perfect spot for gatherings.   Towering over the villa is the Maratea Mountains, while at its foot lies the blue and crystal clear Mediterranean sea.

The fifteen  private acres reveal a marvelous collection of  woods (the wonderfully bulbous maritime pines), stone walled gardens with flowers and bushes in abundance, and endless runs of patios and stone pathways.  Much of the delight for events will come from deciding which part of the event goes where.  The choice is rich.

Although aesthetically beautiful, the owners have discreetly carved out children friendly niches -  two pools and a playground.  This coupled with acres of land for running free and the sea below make it more than children friendly.

The villa itself is large - 23 modern and comfortable rooms all with bathrooms, heat and air-conditioning.   It has a number of public rooms and a sauna.
