This amazing accommodation overlooks the sea from a wonderful, private balcony. The host is the best part--warm and attentive. The breakfast both mornings went beyond expectations. There was a safe place to park our car and a restaurant a five minute walk away. Absolutely recommend!

We loved it all

Beautiful house directly on the cliff above the sea with a breathtaking view. The accommodation offers all you need. The owner lives downstairs and is extremely helpful and nice. Fantastic breakfast with a big choice and local or even homemade products.

Very nice terrace, garden and views. There is a caletta a few steps from the house where you can swim and enjoy the sea (but it is not a proper beach).

Maria and Irena were the perfect hosts. From the pre dinner aperitifs to the breakfast and offers to drive us to dinner, they were exceptional. The room and facilities were outstanding and we had a beautiful view of the sea.

Everything was excellent. The breakfast was even better than 5 star hotel we stayed previous day. All were homemade. Maria and her daughter were very caring and always smiling hosts. We enjoyed a lot. The view was amazing.

If you're driving into Maritea and you aren't comfortable on tiny, windy roads, start practicing now.

Maria is the best. We want to go back and stay a week at this place. The location is stunning, the breakfast was my kids' favorite meal on the whole trip. We loved it here. It's like Big Sur in Italy.

The breakfasts on our own deck were incredible, and our host was the sweetest person. She treated us like family. The sound of the sea was magical.

Amazing host Maria❤️ She deeply cares for her guests! We felt like staying with a family member❤️🦋Amazing homemade breakfast, cozy bed, good wifi, hot shower, stunning view with lemon trees and the sea. A hidden gem, a home away from home!

Great location- right on the water. Great view. Out of town so the only noise we heard was the ocean. Maria was a beautiful host who went out of her way to look after us and make sure we had a great stay.

It is a bit of an adventure to get to the place driving from the highway down a very narrow road, but if one has any problem with it, Maria Rosaria offers an option to park near a restaurant on the main road, and to help with the transportaton back and forth.

The hospitality and friendliness of the host Maria Rosaria are truly exceptional. She is also a great cook, and the breakfast she gave us was plentiful and very tasty. Though the room was not very big and is completely adequate for a couple, and the sea view from the window and the terrace is unbeatable. The location is amazingly quiet: you can only hear the sea down below.

Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

This little slice of paradise is off the beaten path, and that makes it very special. Maria has created a cozy, welcoming haven for weary travelers who are ready for some relaxation in gorgeous surroundings overlooking the sea. It was a very private and peaceful experience.

The drive down is challenging (fold in your car mirrors), but worth the challenge.

A beautiful home overlooking the sea. There is a terrace where Maria served us wine and antipasti as we watched the sun set. The room was so sweet and all the marvelous flowers and trees make you want to stay longer. This is a hidden-away gem. And breakfast was amazing!

Zia Yaya is a great B&B in a beautiful setting, but the best part of our stay was the hostess, Maria. Maria was the kindest, nicest person, and served the best breakfast we had during our two weeks in Italy. Zia Yaya is a hidden gem!

Stayed in September 2022

Nothing. Only be prepared it is a small, narrow and steep road down from the main road to the house. We had a small car and were just fine. With a larger one you may prefer to park at the restaurant above and then walk down.

Even though we only stayed one night, it was by far the best stay during our week in Italy. Located just in front of the sea, a nicely decorated room that was heated up for our arrival (it was cold beginning of April). Very friendly owner, who served the very best breakfast (bread, butter, home made marmelade, ham, cheese, egg, youghurt, fruit and vegetables). Just above the house we had a perfect lunch at Ristorante Da Cesare, which we also recomend.

We loved the comfort and cleanliness of the room, the kindness and care of Maria Rosaria, the incredible view to the sea, the delicious breakfast proposing salty and sweet delicacies.

I went to zia Yaya alone, but the hospitality of the host, Maria Rosaria, was so heartfelt that I enjoied myself so much. Breackfast was simply marvelous. I was able to reach a tiny beach on foot. Unforgettable was the scent of mediterranean plants. I highly recomand this lovely destination. Valeria from Trentino
