Playful manner the room was decorated in. Attractive colour scheme and decor, extra effort was made to make the space feel warm and appealing. Clean and functional bathroom. Comfortable bed. Very walkable neighborhood, we parked our car for three days and had close access to stores, restaurants, and the historic district. Excellent home base location.

Rino met us at the property and was an outstanding host. He answered any questions and gave us suggestions for Matera. He also spoke English well. The room was in a perfect location for seeing Matera, only two short blocks until this beautiful city came into view. There is plenty of street parking and also nearby pay parking. We saw people lugging their luggage in and out of Matera, and this seemed much easier. When we come back we will stay here again.

Fantastic location very close to the Sassi and to a cafe for breakfast. Rino was very friendly and helpful. He didn’t always reply immediately to messages but we had no problems with arranging to meet to check in at a time that suited us. He gave us excellent recommendations for dining. The metal bed was comfortable but a bit creaky. We came in May and found a parking space 50m from the appartment. Not sure if it would have been so easy during high season. Overall it met our needs.

Bien en general

La estadía estuvo bien, está muy bien ubicado y el check in no fue para nada complejo. Mejoraría la cama, ya que a pesar de que el colchón es bueno hace mucho ruido la estructura durante el descanso, sumado al ruido de las habitaciones de al lado. Baño completo, con todo lo necesario. A futuro implementaría posibilidad de pago con tarjeta, solo se podía en efectivo.

Excellent rapport qualité-prix pour visiter Matera

Résidence de qualité, confortable, bien équipée, idéalement située à deux pas du centre historique. Facilité pour se garer avec les conseils du propriétaire. Un seul problème : il n'y a aucun numéro indiqué pour appeler le propriétaire et signaler votre arrivée. Seul le propriétaire vous appelle mais si votre téléphone n'est pas connecté, cela devient très compliqué !
