Maratea hotel Villa Cheta in Acquafredda, open June–September.
Villa Cheta occupies a clifftop position on the Tyrrhenian coast near Acquafredda, where limestone formations drop toward Mediterranean waters.
The Basilicata property commands views across the Gulf of Policastro, with terraced grounds that leverage the dramatic topography.
Stone architecture and mature gardens create a natural amphitheater for ceremonies and receptions that feel insulated from the mainland.
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.
