We stayed in the house for three days in October with our 16 year old son. The house was stunning as well as being spacious, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Mr Raffaele helped us get settled in. He was helpful and charming but spoke no English but Mirella was in contact on the phone if my husbands minimal Italian was not enough!. We arrived after dark and could hear the waves but couldn't see beyond the balcony. In the morning we woke up and found that the house was on the cliff above the sea and the view was amazing. A steep path winding down to an almost private charming beach. The kitchen was well equipped and ideal for preparing meals, which we ate on the spacious balcony. During our stay we really wanted just to relax so we visited Maratea village and the port and the statue of Jesus up on the cliff. The road up is spectacular. The rest of the time we spent on the beach by the house and beach in Marina Di Maratea which were clean and relaxing.
