It’s a well equipped apartment built into the rock hillside. There is a small balcony with a great view over the town to the cathedral. Like most of Matera’ historic centre it is not car friendly so you get free underground parking which is less than a 10 minute walk away. The owner is easy to contact by WhatsApp and is extremely helpful. You are next to the central square, yet the location is very quiet. While you can make your own breakfast, you are supplied with vouchers to get coffee and a pastry from one of three cafes nearby. Overall, very pleased with our stay.

El anfitrión, Luciano, fué muy amable. La cochera perfecta, el desayuno en un hermoso bar de la plaza. Matera es hermosa

Hubiera Sido mejor quedarme más días.

Luciano is a great host. He greeted us and showed us everything in the apartment. He shared information & brochures with suggestions of what to see. We had arrived in the evening so the view from the small balcony was spectacular. He recommended a local restaurant that we went to for dinner - Osteria Pico. Reasonably priced and good sized portions. The waitress guided us on what to get and not get. Easy walk into the Sassi. Steps to climb back up, though. The apartment has nice touches: breads and Nutella/jams, fridge has waters and some sodas & juice, elegant toiletries, enough kitchen appliances & utensils to make coffee/tea or full meal. Big bath towels, fans in bathroom & bedroom help keep the apartment from getting musty. Washer in balcony is easy to use and keeps the noise & steam out of the apartment. Bathroom has good water pressure and nice hot water. It is on a quiet street, close to the Christmas market, but far from any noise.

Not a negative, just a suggestion, a hook or two in the bathroom would be a good addition to be able to hang clothes or towel while you shower.

The apartment was in a great location with a wonderful view. Luciano was very helpful and had lots of good suggestions on what to do and where to eat. We stayed during a heatwave and the apartment was mostly comfortable despite not having air conditioning. It was very well equipped and lots of supplies left for guests.

A fan would have been good to use at night.

Excellent host and informative, gave us advice on where to eat, superb value and location, with a small balcony overlooking the old town. a big bonus is you get private parking and a choice of where to have breakfast, which is all in the price. Would recommend this to anyone staying in Matera.

Nothing really what you need to understand is it is an old property set in rock so could be a bit cold

Everything! Luciano, the owner attended our needs up to the last detail including our private car transfers from/to Bari. The view from our balcony was spectacular and the location was around the corner of the main piazza, very accessible to coffe shops, restaurants, shopping. It also has a washing machine. Luciano gave us vouchers for breakfast and he also left some treats at the apartment just in case we wanted to sleep in and not go to breakfast. I will recommend this place, it exceeded my expectations! Thank you, Luciano. We will definitely stay here again!

Nothing.
