Very very kind and helpful owners. Only 5 rooms available. You may choose the cave version or the more elegant version. Value for money. Matera is a very unique place to be. Drove there from Bari airport about an hour plus. No regrets. Highly recommended.

My husband and I drove over 2 hours to Matera and we were so happy we did. It was a little hard to find the old Sassi's in the new big city. We finally found the road that leads down to the cave houses. Once on the main road down to the caves, I just happen to look over and... More

My girlfriend and I stopped in here during our 2 month trip around Italy. We originally had 2 nights booked but I was so impressed by the views/room/service within the first hr of our arrival that at breakfast the next morning I asked if we could stay an extra night. The lady running the place is just amazing, she was... More

The rooms a very comfortable and beautiful ; perfect bathroom, excellent bed, coffee & tea machine for that first or last cup of the day ; and, maybe most of all, the terrace !

Party of 4, we stayed 1 night here, and wish we could have stayed several days at least. Matera is enchanting, and the design of the accommodations here capture the old city's charm with artfully, sometimes whimsically clever interior design and furnishings. The owner/hostess was welcoming and served us a sumptuous breakfast the next morning, along with delightful conversation.

In today's age, we buy magic. We think magic comes all prettily wrapped up, with ribbons and a price tag. Sometimes it takes something so much more miraculously bigger than we are, to humble our expectations. I have spent many vacations looking at amazing breathtaking ocean views - yes looking AT. But I have never felt I am INSIDE something... More

Besides its tragic history, Matera is all about the view and the view from the terrace of this excellent B&B is breathtaking. The terrace is easily accessed from all rooms, and there are tables and chairs for those who like to have their meals outside. The view at night is stunning. Add a nice bottle of wine and a yummy...
