The coast of Maratea is becoming renown as the perfect wedding Italy venue.  The pristine coast is a fifteen mile stretch renown  for its rugged mountains and cliffs soaring abruptly for thousands of feet from the  rocks and beaches of the Mediterranean.  It is an area known for its serpentine cornice road carved high into its sea and cypress tree lined cliffs, edged with a blue blue sea.  The coast of Maratea is home to some of Italy's finest coastal and hill-town hotels  - all of them in dramatic and romantic settings  -  perfect for any Wedding Italy. 

Towns and villages of  great interest are Maratea, Acquafredda, Fiumicello, and the Port of Maratea.

Maratea is an ancient and wonderful hillside resort village.  Although small, it is remarkably known for its 44 churches.  The old town of Maratea cascades down the mountain-side to Europe's most stunning coastline.  At the bottom of the town, is the Port of Maratea, home of fine yachts and luxury boats, which  provides a beautiful setting for sipping a cappuccino, wine, or having a relaxing time.

Acquafredda, a sleepy village sublimely nestled between sea and high mountain peaks,  embodies the best of an Italian hill-town;  the best of an Italian sea-side village; and, surprisingly, the gentility and tranquility of an English country village  with its vibrant flower gardens and tree lined streets.  A stroller's dream.

Fiumicello, on the sea surrounded by the mountains and the town of Maratea, is simply "chic" - its white houses, expensive boutiques, fine restaurants,  and the five star Santavenere famous for its pampering and summer time jazz concerts.  Sit, sip champagne and soak-up fine concerts.  The Santavenere, a five star luxury hotel,  has nor become one of the more popular wedding Italy venues.
