The cava is exactly as shown and described online. The view from the terrace looks directly into the Sassi. The location can’t be beat, it’s right near the old city and new City so you have a central location to see everything. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner works great on a hot day. Our hosts were amazing. They provided us a lovely breakfast of fresh tarts, pastries, meats, yogurts, and milk/cereals. They even left us local wine to enjoy at home and suggested several tours. They offered to set up a dinner on the terrace but we opted to have them set up a reservation at a great local restaurant in the Sassi. They were responsive and answered all of our questions within minutes. We will stay here again if we visit Matera.

Best property that i ever stayed. Thank you

Can I award 10 stars? 100? This was without doubt the absolute best VRBO experience we have ever had, and we have rented probably 100+ VRBO properties over the years all over Europe and Italy. The property itself is stunning -- you are in the most luxurious "cave" imaginable. The bathroom is gorgeous with modern fixtures. High-quality bed linens and towels. The view from the terrace is drop-dead stunning. You are perfectly located to walk to everything you would want to do or see in Matera. There is a very nice restaurant right next door. But the hosts are what make this place so amazing. Gianfranco and Rosalba are the most generous, giving hosts we have every encountered. Gianfranco picked us up at the garage and returned us there at the end of our stay. That was a godsend. Upon our arrival, the cave was full of food and beverages for us! Coffee, milk, fresh pastries -- an entire tart! A bottle of wine! There was fruit (apples, kiwi, pears), two kinds of cereal, bread, salami, pasta, olive oil, a can of Italian tomatoes, garlic! Gianfranco was super responsive and helpful in every way. I HIGHLY recommend this property! One hint: use the underground section of the garage - much cheaper and very easy with instructions in English.

Owner was awesome as was the apartment, super cool remodel, great location. Everything was top notch!!

Amazing accommodation ! This was our first visit to Matera and the La Cava Nel Barisano did not disappoint! Both Rosalba and Gianfranco were fantastic hosts. Every detail was thought of, including Gianfranco shuttling us from the public parking to LaCava and back once our stay was completed! I highly recommend this vacation rental! Easy access to good Trattorias as well as an incredible view of ancient Matera!

If you want to see Matera and stay in a beautiful place in the perfect location, this is it. Beautifully renovated by owners, the craftsmanship of property is stunning. A lot of thought and effort was done by owners. We truely enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We stayed for a week in the suite, and had a wonderful time in Matera and surrounding towns. There are many things to see, and do, and eat in Matera. The cave suite experience was enjoyable and unique. Rosalba kept us fortified with delicious homemade fruit cakes. Highly recommended!

Fabulous apartment in great location. Patio with wonderful view of the Sassi. Very well equipped. No washer/dryer in apartment but laundry service available for a fee. A truly wonderful experience
