After two years of management by the Egnazia group, Hotel Santavenere joins The Leading Hotels of the World – a collection of the world’s most exclusive independent luxury hotels. Representing the best of luxury hospitality with 400 handpicked hotels and resorts selected for a refined clientele, The Leading Hotels of the World is the largest collection of distinctive independent luxury hotels in the world. Hotel Santavenere was chosen for its timeless elegance, its breathtaking location overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, and its unwavering commitment to high quality personalised service.
“We are very pleased to welcome the newest member hotel, Hotel Santavenere, to The Leading Hotels of the World,” said Deniz Omurgonulsen, Vice President, Member Experience, The Leading Hotels of the World. “This fascinating 34-room property is nestled in almost 10 hectares of green Mediterranean scrubland, an extensive stretch of private beach and endless local heritage. Featuring design elements dating back to its history starting in 1956, this venue encourages guests to connect with the hotel’s intimate history.”
As of April 2024, guests can expect a new look from Hotel Santavenere thanks to its planned renovations which will see some of the hotel’s rooms made even more elegant and comfortable. The renovation of eight rooms in the large garden area will be especially notable. Guests will also be able to enjoy a new padel court, modern furniture, and improved common areas.
Aldo Melpignano, Founder and CEO of Egnazia, said: “Seeing Hotel Santavenere join such a prestigious collection is a source of great satisfaction for all of us. We have been thrilled from the start to be able to collaborate with Arsenale Spa in the management of this hotel, and today we reach an important milestone together in this new story of the Hotel Santavenere. Now we will commit ourselves to working even harder on the destination, a challenge that we are passionate about and believe is very much in our hearts: we want Maratea to become one of the most sought-after destinations for next summer, because we fully recognise its value and its suitability to conquer a prominent position in the Italian touristic leisure scene.”
