Villa Cheta Hotel & Restaurant in Maratea

We stayed at Villa Cheta in early July and it stole our hearts. The property is stunning. Embroidery on the linens, beautiful art everywhere, the tiered gardens spilling down toward the sea, the vintage furniture, even the key tassels are charming. Every corner you turn, there's something lovely to look at. It feels deeply harmonious and makes your nervous system instantly relax. The staff were absolute professionals and genuinely warm. Thank you for a truly unforgettable stay.

We have just had a truly lovely stay at the Villa Cheta. First and foremost, the staff are the best. Professional and efficient but also warm and welcoming. They treat the guests like family. I cannot single out any one person as they were all so lovely. The front desk folks, Anna in particular, will help with anyth8ng: arranging a massage, giving advice on walks or museums, making reservations for dinner, etc. The hotel is beautiful, with many spaces where one can sit and relax, a fabulous pool, and lovely grounds. The beach is a bit of a walk down quite a few steps, but you are rewarded with an almost hidden cove, and crystal clear water. We were there just as the beach season ended, so we had it to ourselves, even the lido owners were packing up. Our room was fairly spacious with a small but well appointed bath. The mattress was firm and comfortable. Finally, meals were excellent, so much so that we ate dinner at the hotel several nights rather than drive to a restaurant. It should be noted that although one can walk into Acquafredda from the hotel (about 15 mins max), the village doesn’t have much to offer. A car is really needed to visit Maratea, and take advantage of all the coast has to offer.

Wonderful hotel with excellent service and exceptionally friendly staff. The setting is beautiful and incredibly romantic. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The room was spotless and offered a sea view. The swimming pool was excellent. Nearby attractions include a small grocery store (da Ginetto) for marenna to go and a lovely beach (about a 10-minute walk, easily accessible). The dinners were reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant. If you’re open to driving to Maratea, you can find even more affordable options with a wider variety of food. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I would definitely consider returning.

We spent 2 nights at this beautiful hotel. The room was reasonably spacious with great sea views. Excellent and attentive service. Everything you would expect from a 4 star hotel. The pool is fantastic. The restaurant, on its own, is worth the visit. Breakfasts and dinners were spectacular with noteworthy service. The drive to get there is challenging, rivalling the Amalfi coast but with less traffic.

Villa Cheta is truly a magical place. Set in a peaceful area far from tourist crowds, it offers breathtaking views and an unbeatable location between the mountains and the sea. The service is impeccable, with a wonderfully kind and attentive staff always ready to help. Stefania, Piero, Angela, and the entire team make you feel completely at home from the moment you arrive.
The rooms, the pool, and the scenery are simply stunning — an oasis of tranquility just a short drive from Maratea village and beautiful beaches. The restaurant is a highlight in itself, from breakfast to dinner, featuring a changing seasonal menu crafted with the finest local ingredients. I cannot recommend a stay at this charming boutique hotel enough!

A wonderful area on the West Coast of Southern Italy. I think you must have a car to experience the area. Maratea is a special town south of the hotel and is the major reason to visit the area. The inn itself is a great piece of history. Our April visit was a bit cold, but May, June, July, time frame might be a better time to enjoy the grounds, but we still had a wonderful visit. The restaurant had a proper wine list, but the dinner could have been better, and there were many places nearby that were better. The room we had was nice and had many vintage pieces. The service from check in, to check out was as good as it gets. Anamaria deserves a special shout out for her care and warmth. Nicole was great with moving our heavy luggage. We recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

Beautiful hotel villa in a beautiful location. Stayed here for 4 days to celebrate a wedding. Everything about the hotel was perfect from start to finish. The rooms are clean and spacious with amazing views of the sea. Food was excellent as was the service. Hotel staff were fantastic and always happy to help. Lovely pool and well kept gardens. Could find no fault. We will return. Thank you everyone for an amazing stay and even more amazing experience.

The villa Cheta elite is an excellent hotel with lovely staff especially Anna . The restaurant is really good with a new menu every evening. The pool area is very well appointed the one negative was that the beds were a bit hard. The hotel isn’t in a very good location because you need to use your car to go anywhere.
