Nestled in a vast garden of flowers and typical Mediterranean scrub plants, La Casa del Gelso is just a few steps from the enchanting beaches of the Maratea coast, a place where rest and tranquility are guaranteed. Managed with warmth and passion by Nadia and her mother Lidia, the B&B stands out for its family atmosphere, reflecting the deep bond of the owners with this wonderful land.
The rooms, all carefully furnished and featuring independent entrances, offer a bright and welcoming environment. Every morning, guests can enjoy breakfast outdoors on a terrace overlooking the sea, enriched with seasonal delicacies and homemade jams, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The variety of fruits from the garden, such as figs and mulberries, makes this moment of the day an authentic culinary experience.
The garden surrounding the property is a perfect refuge for those wishing to immerse themselves in nature. With centuries-old carob and oak trees providing shade, and a variety of aromatic plants like rosemary and jasmine filling the air with their fragrances, the natural setting harmoniously blends with the warm hospitality of this small B&B. The private outdoor spaces, with equipped porches, allow for moments of relaxation immersed in greenery.
The strategic location of the B&B makes it easy to explore the beauty of Maratea, known for its coastline dotted with coves and beaches. Within a short walking distance, guests can reach the charming Porticello beach, known for its history and natural beauty, or, in just a few minutes by car, the beautiful Luppa and Anginarra beaches, the largest in the area.
Nadia, along with the support of her brother-in-law Pompeo, also offers useful advice to explore not just Maratea, but also the surrounding areas. Thanks to this personal approach and the wealth of local information, guests can discover the less touristy part of this enchanting region of Basilicata.
