Reviews of Il Vecchio e Il Mare Maratea

Really nice B&B, location close to the marina, nice and clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff, with an amazing breakfast!

Everything was perfect.

We loved staying here. Gloria and team/family couldn’t have been more welcoming or accommodating. We arrived on the restaurant day off, but were given a lovely salad and set up with everything we needed for a ‘picnic’ in our room, which was kind (we had bought a mozzarella from Vannulo to eat!). And it’s a mistake to come when the restaurant is closed. We ate here the following night and it was excellent. From the homemade bread to the fish tortellini and the recommended wine, it was all truly top notch. Breakfast is also a delight - homemade wraps, scrambled egg rolls, cornetti, cakes, tarts and fruit salad - all delicious. Gloria’s cooking is not to be missed, a real talent. We were very comfortable in our very pleasant room with everything provided for a good night’s sleep. Also it’s a short walk down to the little village (Fiumicello) and its charming beach. Free, safe parking round the corner.

Nothing.

Actually, I really liked everything. The staff was supernice and helpful, and the restaurant is also outstanding.

The place was not only clean, comfortable and spacious, but the attention to detail both in the room and in the rest of the facility was nothing short of amazing. Excellent and abundant breakfast as well (good for people doing the Basilicata Coast to Coast) and very friendly staff.

All good

Very clean, it had everything you ned, it is about 16 min away from the train station and from the port, it had an amazing breakfeast, sea view, nice and quit!

Very good and abundant breakfast. The family has a very good restaurant on the site oper for dinner. It's mostly a fish menu, but the chef made special vegetarian dishes for me. Gloria was also so kind to accompany us to the start of the hike to the statue with her car.

This accomodation is your authentic Italian experience. The owner, Gloria, was a fantastic host who looked after us so we'll. The Restaurant on site had food a step above the normal. My husband couldn't stop raving about his Octopus in mustard sauce. This eclectic accomodation kept your interest on each trip in and out. Very appropriately styled to meet the area and amazing seafood restaurant. The location was perfect. We walked to beach both days. Really enjoyed our stay here, felt like we were in Italy. Thank you Gloria

This place is a gem! The room is very nice and has a good size and all the amenities you need (sleepers, toothbrush,all type of toiletries) The breakfast is absolutely amazing! Every morning there are plenty of home made cakes, all delicious

Everything was great

Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Rooms were very clean and comfortable with good air conditioning. Wonderful restaurant with fabulous seafood dishes and also provided a very thoughtful vegan evening meal and breakfast for my brother. Also dog friendly, couldn't be better! Thank you so much for a lovely visit.

This is not "just" a Hotel but a place run with heart and soul for gastronomy by a young promising woman with great skills. The welcome was uncomplicated and warm.The room is very romantic and clean.The location is just heavenly. Fiumicello is a quiet green lush town and has a few small and cozy shops and restaurants and fantastic seaviews! The restaurant downstairs is 100% gourmet and run by the same owner. Would defenately recommend this place to anybody, both for a night as well for longer stays. Perfect to relax!

Great service, cozy environment and excellent restaurant! We'll be back next time in Maratea

We are very grateful to Gloria and the whole family and staff for their super warm welcome and hospitality. It really felt like home, and we are still dreaming about the lush breakfasts we had each morning. Exceptional B&B at a great location!

Staff was so helpful and went beyond expectation to help get around the town.

More public transport in the town would be great.

It was short but wonderful time I have spent in Maratea. Gloria and her Family are such a nice and helpful people. I got all information I needed. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty and prepared in very warm way. I love all the details at B&B. It was really a pleasure to stay there! There is a restaurant direct in B&B. The food was amazing! Remember to make reservation in advance. I can only recommend this place. Close to the beach and to the port. Peaceful and calm. Thank you everything!

Breakfast was actually good.

- The noise! I couldn't sleep until around midnight when the personell finally closed the kitchen and left. The amount of noise coming from downstairs was unbelievable. Screams, laughter, doors slamming and what appeared to be something pounding against the trash NON STOP! Never again! - Smell coming from the bathroom was pretty nasty
