Dining
The Locanda delle Donne Monache has an outstanding restaurant
that offers menu items and wines selected in consultation with the
oeno-gastronomy project of Mondo Maratea, which also owns the five-star
Hotel Santavenere in nearby
Fiumicello di Maratea.
Many of the Locanda's dishes are inspired by the
traditional cuisine of the Basilicata region. On the evening that I dined at the
Locanda delle Donne Monache, the special menu included:
The restaurant is long, narrow, and
intimate, with a rustic elegance. One wall is of rough stone; the other has
windows overlooking the pool. A small bar at one end serves apperitivi
and stronger drinks. (Try starting your meal with a flute of
Cuvče Imperiale Berlucchi Brut, a sparkling white wine made by the traditional Champagne method.)
