Eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft in einem wunderschön eingerichteten Haus in den Sassi von Matera. Unvergleichliche Atmosphäre! Giovanni, unser Gastgeber, war überaus hilfsbereit und immer ansprechbar, wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Ich kann die Casa Masiello uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

The place is fantastic. The Host is very kind and helpful. A lot of little nice surprices like snacks. The localization is great - in the middle of Sassi Barisano. The apartment is wonderful with the spirit of the past but in modern style. You will not regret staying in Casa Masiello.

It was an amazing cave house that had so many historical details but was also really comfortable. Giòvanni the host was extremely helpful and informative. Matera is such a fascinating place and although we only stayed for one night we will definitely return for longer.

The location is one of the best in Matera. Secondly this house-cave can give you a real experience and feelings, just like the people who were leaving there, the good and the bad moments of Matera history.
The enterior decoration is perfect and Giovanni, the owner, really kind and helpful.
Everything was perfect.

exceptional experience in a sassi cave home but at the same time very close to the central square: very stylish and modern but still somehow traditional design; well equipped; good communication with the host, who shared much information about he place; good supermarket 10-15 min walk away at the newer part of the town; walkable distance to the bus/train station
no sofa; no wifi and at the same time very poor mobile signal, so use even of simple internet services is very difficult; very small tv set

The host, Giovanni, was super helpful and knowledgeable about Matera, the place was unique and perfectly located. We were just amazed by Matera and Casa Masiello multiplied and complemented our experience. Originally, we were going to leave after one day, but had to stay longer to properly enjoy this enchanting city.
Cannot think of anything.

This is an incredibly unique and special property. It has been renovated very well and has all kinds of cool touches. It's VERY large, so you won't feel constrained at all, especially given that you're staying in a cave. The downstairs cellar/cave feature is really cool, albeit if it's not overly useful. However, I'm sure it gets used extensively in the summer months when it's hot out (I was there in early May). The main bed is very comfy, the water pressure in the shower is high, and the place has all the amenities you could ever need. One thing to note, though- when I was there the weather was still a bit cooler and at night the house can get a bit cold (due to it being a cave and no fault of the host). There are heaters around the house that help with this, but the place is not going to feel like your standard home. The heat rises, so the main bedroom that's elevated gets very warm at night with heaters on. This wasn't an issue for us, but just a note that if you're here in the non-summer months, bring a sweatshirt and some slippers to hang out in.
The location is really great. I came by car and was able to park for free on a street about 300-400M away. The host met us and let us into the house, but it also has a coded entry system, so you could easily get into the house if the host simply texted you the code. This is easily one of the most interesting places I've ever stayed in, so you certainly won't be disappointed if you make this your home in Matera!
There is no wifi in the house and mobile reception is tricky to get from inside. I would assume these are issues that most places like this in the Sassi have to deal with, but if you're planning to work remotely from here during your stay in Matera, I'm here to tell you that it isn't happening. The house also does not have a washing machine. Neither were an issue for me, but just wanted to call these out for other travelers who may not be as flexible.

What a special experience! It was such a lovely stay. We enjoyed every moment of it.
It was right in the middle of Sassi and we could walk everywhere.
And Giovanni was super kind and he explained all history of the property and Matera which was very interesting! Grazie!

Giovanni was great - patient when we struggled to park then meet him. His place was immaculate, spacious and full of history! We had everything we needed. Very open plan. Great location very close to everything except parking! Matera is an extraordinary place and well worth at least two days. It's clean, organised, and although it was busy managed to maintain an air of relaxation! Excellent restaurants, astonishing views around every corner - and there were alot of corners.
The issue for us was parking our hire car. Matera was busier in the shoulder season than we thought and though the info online suggested we park in a big carpark and walk to the Sassi area, in actual fact we had to find on street parking. It was absolutely rammed and took some finding. We struggled walking quite a way with our bags. Although we could have packed lighter I think it is useful to know parking here can be very tricky indeed and people should allow time to find it.

Great location and very cozy and comfortable interior! Every detail is made with such a taste! The host is so kind and friendly! He told us a lot about the history of his place and the city itself! Will recommend it to my friends!!!

This is a manmade cave, which is typical here and called Sassi. It is pretty spacious and has a few parts of the equipment that have been used in such "houses". Four people can be acconodated here pretty well,
Ventillation can be noisy for those who are sinsible for that, but I guess, such a thing is necessary.

Beautiful recently restored well designed apartment carved into the rock in the Sassi. The location is perfect for exploring this fascinating place and its history. The person who met us was welcoming and really went out of her way to answer our questions about Materra as well as the apartment. I would snap this one up if you can.
Comfortable, sensitively restored, fascinating experience staying in such a place.
