La Locanda Delle Donne Monache Opens in Italy
Offers USD Guaranteed Rates
APRIL 30, 2008. Set within the heart of the medieval town of Maratea, the newly renovated luxury hotel, La Locanda Delle Donne Monache, was originally built as a convent in 1735. Sure to be the next destination for global trendspotters, Maratea's naturally protected port boasts some of the most beautiful 'robin egg blue' waters along this stretch of coastline. Small fishing boats bob in the water next to luxury yachts, yet the town remains untouched by commercial tourism. Easy to explore by foot, Maratea's quaint and beautiful town is set within narrow winding streets and picturesque little squares where small shops sell local food specialties, lace and colorful ceramics. The region of Basilicata is nestled between Calabria and Puglia yet, just a two hour drive from Amalfi, it is the perfect stepping stone to this undiscovered region.
La Locanda offers twenty-seven distinct rooms and suites which welcome guests with a discreet, pared-down aesthetic. Brightly colored Bougainvillea clings to walls to create the most enchanting courtyard for dining. Enjoy the freshest fish and regional specialties among fragrant orange and lemon trees surrounding the garden. The backdrop to the swimming pool is the picture postcard church of the former convent where views are framed by the roofs of the village. All of these pleasurable assets combined with attentive yet unassuming service make La Locanda Monache the next place to discover.
La Locanda is the sister hotel to Casa Angelina, dubbed the "Delano of Amalfi" when opened and rated on Conde Nast Traveler's "Top" lists. Combine a stay at these two properties for the most memorable holiday in a contemporary design hotel and a stay in a fully renovated ancient convent. Four nights accommodation, including two dinners, massages, champagne and more, begin at $2,760 USD. Reservations may be made at reservations@locandamonache.com.
