La Locanda delle Donne Monache - Description

 

Once a 16th Century Convent

Hotel Outside             Hotel Inside         Some Art          Photos of a Bedroom

With exhilarating yet mystical views of the tiled roofs of the old village of Maratea and its 44 churches, the rugged goat cropped mountains of Basilicata, and the shimmering Mediterranean,  the Locanda delle Donne Monache is the ideal haven for those who want a romantic setting near both the town, the beach, the mountains and the Cilento National Park. The inn is built inside a convent which dates back to 1700 and is characterized by a retro-avant guard style.  It was formerly dedicated to praying and meditation;  now it greets guests in a refined manner.


After a day of sun and sea, the luxury of retiring to the tranquility of one'
s room facing the old village or facing the pool by the garden laden with bougainvillea, lemon trees and jasmine.  Behind the Locanda, the church's white bell tower reflects in the water.


Inside the inn, the walls of raw stone and the refined decorations of the Locanda invoke centuries of history and culture.  Enjoy a relaxing bath in a tub sculpted in the rock or a deep sleep in a canopied bed in the Badessa Room.

Just renovated and re-decorated with art work, furnishings and antiques from Italy, Peru and Morocco, La Locanda is a perfect luxury venue.  It is a time and a place for meditation, a time and a place of sweet oblivion and romance.
