Hotel La Tana, Maratea

Lying just south of the town of Maratea in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, the Hotel La Tana is close to the inspiring Tyrrhenian coast, and complimentary minibuses are laid on to help guests reach both the beach and the train station, useful for exploring more of this picturesque region.

Rooms at this three-star hotel have independent entrances, giving you a greater degree of privacy than the typical hotel affords. All have ensuite bathrooms, heating, satellite television, refrigerator, safe, and some also have air conditioning. Every room has direct access either to a balcony or the hotel garden. La Tana also puts an emphasis on its social facilities. Its air-conditioned restaurant, which has attracted glowing reviews in specialised publications, caters for up to 130 covers, serving up local and national specialities, including a lot of seafood, as you'd expect in a coastal town. Other pleasant communal areas include the bar, courtyard, television room, tavern and garden, which is comfortably large enough to host special entertainment evenings.

When you wish to venture out, the staff at this Maratea hotel are on hand to assist you with a range of excursions, through which you can begin to take in some of the cultural, natural and historical attractions of this favoured area. So many activities are possible that only the fussiest of guests could be bored. On the menu are high-energy pursuits such as go karting, horse riding and motorised hang gliding, while if you want to hit the water you can do so wind surfing, water skiing, on a boat trip, sailing or simply in the pool.
