Grand Hotel Pianeta Maratea Resort

Attention arnaque : l'hotel vous fait payer des frais cachés obligatoires qui sont dissimulés dans la section "Informations importantes" (10€ / personne / jour), c'est interdit par les lois européennes mais Booking laisse faire. Cerise sur le gateau : ces frais obligatoires vous donnent soit disant accès à des équipements qui ne vous sont mêmes pas présentés lors de votre arrivée, autrement dit on vous cache vos droits et on vous fait quand même payer pour. Honteux.

I booked directly with the hotel and received a favorable room rate. We travelled by train and took a taxi from the station. The hotel is in a very elevated position above the bay. The bay is beautiful but we were pretty much stranded without transport. The following day we walked downhill to Maratea along the road but discovered the walking trail to Christ the Redeemer statue for our return, uphill walk, so we took that until we were close to the hotel. It was a much nicer walk. In total, including a short walk around the town, we walked 9km. I had booked a suite. It was large and pretty basic but this is reflected in the price. If the suite had been more fancy, the price would have been more fancy. The terrace was equally huge with beautiful views of the bay. The suite was impeccably clean and kept so by the loveliest of chamber maids. We happened to be staying when there was a company convention in situ. There were 300 company guests and then my husband and me. It was hilarious. We are not Italian but watched on with interest. Not being Italian and not being part of the company convention, we were pretty easy to spot. Despite, or perhaps because of the convention, we felt that we were known by the staff and were treated very well as they clearly recognised that we were somewhat outnumbered. (150:1) The food was fine and the dining staff very pleasant. The swimming pool was a real treat. Hats are compulsory. Beatrice at reception was particularly pleasant and helpful while the manager was approachable, professional, helpful and also quite witty! So why not 5*? I'm not sure. There were small things that simply didn't suit us. E.g. a drinks machine at breakfast which does reduce the personal contact with staff and makes the dining experience feel unnecessarily impersonal. We will look back on our stay very positively and will laugh at how we ended up in an Italian car-parts company convention for a weekend.

Nice but public transportation difficul

Cobran cosas obligatorias cuando llegas, sin posibilidad de no contratarlas sino te quedas sin habitación

Era muy viejo como Para ponerse 4 estrellas.. el servicio y las ganas de sacarnos dinero fue penosa!

Views were incredible.

Property was a bit dated and needed some upkeep.

Excelentes instalaciones. Muy buena atención. Gran desayuno. Vista y lugar increíbles. El mejor lugar de Maratea.

Es imprescindible ir con auto.

L'albergo non era male

L'obbligo di pagare la piscina anche se non la usavi senza che fosse indicato da booking
