Hotel Borgo La Tana - Maratea

Very nice hotel with super friendly staff even in the intense mid August period. Perfect location for enjoying both sightseeing in Maratea or the beaches of Praia a mare and San Nicola. We spent only one night but we had a very good time. The only drawback we noticed was due to the cleanliness of our room and bathroom, not spotless but still ok. A good breakfast “buffet” with a nice variety on display near the pool. To keep in mind for trips in the area.

This hotel is really not worth the price. Our room was in a small two-floor building with 4 rooms. It had a connecting door to the room upstairs and we heard everything - TV, talking, toilet, etc. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had in a hotel. And the only ventilation for the bathroom was a window onto the room itself. The pool is nice but you need to buy a swimming cap. The place looks nice at first but it’s missing the fundamentals for a hotel of this price!

Positive surprise, we just neede a place to stay for 1 night while driving down to Calabria, but we fell in love with this hotel. Service minded and friendly staff, and the food in the restaurant was amazing, nice colors and good taste, value for money. We will come back and use more of the hotel facilities and use it as a base for praia a mare and the caves in the area.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel so I shall split up my points into good and bad to let you decide for yourself. Good: -The staff were incredibly friendly and happy to help with all of our enquiries -The setting of the hotel was beautiful and just a ten-minute walk from the closest beach -The room had excellent air conditioning which meant for an excellent night’s sleep -The pool was large and there were many sun loungers -There were no other British tourists staying at the hotel (to the best of my knowledge) so you felt truly immersed in Italian culture -The cleaning service was excellent, and we came back every day to fresh towels, bedding, shampoos etc… -It was close to a supermarket which was helpful and cheap Bad: -Swimming caps had to be worn if you wanted to go into the pool (inconvenient at first but we adjusted) -Food at the bar was expensive in comparison to the rest of Maratea -The breakfast was (whilst very nice) filled with fat and carbohydrates. You would struggle to be full unless you were willing to eat biscuits, honeycomb, sweetened yoghurt and the occasional fig. -The opening times of the pool and bar were very peculiar and meant we would often come home from a day out unable to get food. -The fitness centre was cramped and almost unusable There you have it, a reasonably good, well-priced hotel with some drawbacks that didn’t significantly take away from the whole Maratea experience.
