Villa Maria is an idyllic place to land. The family that runs it are welcoming and attentive hosts. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The views are stunning. The food is incredible. We would come back here again and again.

We only regret not eating dinner there every night of our stay. We ate dinner on the last night and it was delicious and abundant. Dining in Sant Angelo is good, but eating at Villa Maria is special, and if we were to do it again, we would eat there all or most evenings.

Absolutely everything was fantastic. The location is great, with an amazing view over Sant'Angelo from the terrace. The owner and staff are genuinely nice people, which made our stay pleasant and comfortable. The hotel is clean and bright. I highly recommend having at least one, if not more, dinners at Villa Maria; the quality of the menu is excellent. In short, you can stay here without any hesitation. If we will visit Samt Angelo again we would stay here again.

Everything was amazing. The staff, the service, the food, the location, etc. I cannot wait to return. Excellent espresso & cappuccino! Best on the island, actually. Also, best dinner we had on the island! Right here at this hotel. Great, healthy breakfast. Amazing walking opportunities. Up and down the mountain paths. Each walk was an adventure. Just incredible beauty all around you. Breathtaking views. A true hidden gem.

From start to finish, everything was truly outstanding. The dinner was excellent, the view was stunning, and what made our experience truly special was the way the family-staff treated us, like we were part of their own family. The warm and welcoming atmosphere created by them made our stay feel not just comfortable but also incredibly personal. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and it made our time at their place truly memorable. It was, by far, the best experience we've had at any hotel we've visited so far.

This was one of the best stays we have ever had!! My partner and I were on a 6 week europe holiday and villa maria was by far our favorite location. Firstly, THE VIEW is even better than the photos! Every morning we were blown away by the beautiful view as we enjoyed our breakfast. The room was gorgeous, we especially loved the spacious terrace where we enjoyed a glass of wine most evenings. We had read that the hotel put on a delicious dinner in their restaurant and that was absolutely true. We loved the dinner so much we ate at the hotel 4 out of our 5 nights and the antipasto appetizers is something we will be coming back for. The vegetables picked fresh from their garden daily made these meals some of the best we had on our entire trip. Lastly, the service of Gennaro and his family were what made this hotel so special. They were so kind to use during our entire stay and Genarro was so incredibly helpful in recommending day to day activities (he speaks excellent English!!). We loved this place so much, it felt like our home away from home and we are already planning our next return!

Hotel Villa Maria is third generation family owned and an absolute gem of a find if they can fit you in. The hotel is perched on a hill with incredible views and vista and positioned to get the sun all day. The family with staff run the hotel and they could not do more for you if they had tried. Incredibly accommodating and helpful from the time we got there to the time we left. Make sure you stay for dinner €30 (at time of writing) which included a buffet of starters which was the highlight - you could base your whole dinner on just the starters truth be told, but then there were three more courses to deal with - and they were also fantastic. Dinner was a shotgun start at 7:30pm which allows you take in the sunset and not miss out on the starters ( note - a lot of the vegetables are grown by the family. Also, dinner can be booked separately - you do not need to staying but it is nice to wander down from your hotel room after a day at the beach Breakfast was buffet European style and a 10/10 - pastries were superb and good coffee, heaps of fruit and cereals topped off with the amazing view to kickstart every morning The hotel have about 20 beach chairs on Maronite beach with a small cafe there as well - definitely worth a wander down to. There is a separate cost for the chairs. This was our second stay in Sant Angelo and we will definitely return to Villa Maria when we go back - people, view, food - we just relaxed - we even know what rooms we will be asking for ….

Beds, as in mattresses definitely - they are very firm. And if I was being super critical desserts always left me a little underwhelmed (but by the time I got to dessert it was probably a good thing).

The first moment I entered through the blue gates and gorgeous garden I knew I had arrived in paradise . The amazing view and terrace spread out before me took my breath away !!!! I loved the attentive welcoming family run hotel , the attention to detail and the amazing dinner we ate in house every night , cooked from the kitchen garden , seasonal and the Italian experience we were after … exceptional and good value . Breakfast on the terrace with ocean vista was a treat and our cappuccino expertly made . The excitement of the amazing breakfast had us up and ready . French toast with succulent strawberries , pancakes , Italian sugar donuts , beautiful cheese and meats , so much to choose it was another highlight of this amazing hotel . My ocean terrace room was immaculate and so clean , the floor tiles gorgeous , the French doors opening onto the terrace with shutters offered privacy and allowed the sea air and morning birdsong in … evenings on the terrace outside my room I had sun chairs to relax on and even a line to hang my swimmers … bliss to watch the sunset . loved everything and next time when I return I will stay longer … Thankyou for looking after me kim smith

not one thing … all was perfect and pristine. !! I should have stayed longer !!!

Our room had direct access to the 1st floor terrace with amazing ocean views (I think we got a better room than booked). On the ground floor, you have similar views, which you enjoy during breakfast (excellent! buffet) and dinner (if you decide to stay in the hotel). Lovely hosts, family run, and close to beautiful and quiet beaches around Sant'Angelo.

A kettle in the room for tea would have been helpful. The location above the sea means that you have to climb, which is with the luggage and midday a bit of a challenge. You can book a private taxi though. Compared to the Cyclades in Greece where accommodations often offer a free ferry pick up, this service could be improved (at least from Sant'Angelo bus station).

Everything was perfect. The location and the views are truly exceptional. But mostly, the staff are extremely lovely and welcoming. It is a family run hotel which makes you feel really so comfortable and at home. Their hospitality is outstanding. Their family traditional cooking is also fantastic - both the breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing. The hotel itself is very charming and well maintained. The whole experience makes you feel like you're part of the family. You're left feeling like you're lucky to have stumbled across such a very special place. We loved it so much that we extended our stay.

Nothing!

A nice place to relax in the excessive Southern Italian heat. The hosts were friendly and most obliging of all my needs.
