Amazing palazzo with a great view over Madera, a very helpful host Sofia and a wonderful breakfast.

Everything was really perfect . The excellent breakfast, the huge and magnificent room and the so exquisite palace , the kindness of mrs Bernardini and Sofia , everything made the trip in Matera a wonderful experience . The location is very very convenient too . We hopefully will be back in Matera , and we will go anywhere else than in palazzo Bernardini. Thank you so much .

The palace is a real jewel in the core of Matera. The host, Anna Rosa, was absolutely delightful to interact with. She loves books, flowers and plants. Sofia was also very nice and always ready to help. This is a real palace (XVIII century) and our room has very tall ceiling and an exceptional bathroom. The little rose garden on the roof is simply WONDERFUL and directly facing the "Sassi". We had one of the best breakfast we have ever had with excellent coffee, fruits, a variety of eclairs and other "pasticcino" (you can choose "sweet or salty breakfast" as options). The view from the room cannot be better, the best of the best! Gazie mille!

Hard to find... A little detail is that one side of large window (left) connecting to the balcony was a bit hard to open (I think it was a problem of space due to the air conditioning). It is an old building, so I can understand that space can be an issue. However, this was not a problem at all and it did not take any of the splendor of out stay that was simply WONDERFUL :).

Spacious, comfortable and clean in a very airy and historic building. Lovely hosts who took care. An excellent base for exploring the old city at its very door. And excellent breakfasts. Not forgetting the help with parking and arriving!

Nothing

Beautiful ancient interior and exterior of the building, spacious room with water heating and comfortable bed, exceptional hospitality of the host, amazing view from the garden onto Madonna de Idris church, one of the main sightseeings of Matera

The proprietor is extraordinary. Her chief staff Sofia speaks excellent English and is very available to answer questions and make recommendations. This is a working palace which hosts many festive events in addition to hosting overnight guests. Their is a wonderful garden. Our “room” was a suite of rooms all furnished with period furniture. Breakfasts are among the best in all of Italy. We hope to return next year./

There are a lot of stairs to climb. They help you with the luggage.

Very nice host and helping lady, very good breakfast, clean and quiet place to be. Historical building, for us was a very good experience. I recommend it.

Ancient environment which remember Napoleon time. Owner extremely nice and friendly, she even cooked cakes and bread for breakfast! Plus fresh strawberries
