Hey from Luca

Member since August 2014 | 76,542 hits
The Court of Shepherds is located below a rock on which stands the Church of Madonna de l'Idris. The rooms, each with independent entrance, are carved into the tuff rock, a typical limestone stone of our territory that characterizes the rest of the Sasso Caveoso, the oldest area of the entire Sassi district, and Sasso Barisano.

From the terrace, where we serve a rich breakfast, there is a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, Sasso Caveoso, and the Gravina stream, which flows between the inhabited part and the Murgia Materana.

Near our structure, it is possible to visit the Museum of Sculpture MUSMA, Casa Noha, the Casa Grotta, some rock churches (in total more than 150 between the Murgia and the Sasso), and the Cathedral built in Puglia's Romanesque style in 1230 and recently restored and open to the public. It is also possible to cross the Gravina stream by crossing a small Tibetan bridge that is 13m high.

We stayed at this wonderful property in July for a couple of days. Fabulous stone renovation that left nothing to chance and makes the atmosphere of this B&B unique. Thanks to Mimmo, who knew how to give us the right suggestions, and Tiziana's breakfasts, the stay in Matera was unforgettable.

It would be useful for the owner to send a standard email just before their arrival at La Corte dei Pastori Luxury with practical information about accessing Matera by car because the historic city is hardly accessible and the closest parking lots are quite far on foot from the property.

A magical location. It is located right in front of the postcard of Matera, a delightful view. At dusk, this place becomes magical. The lights in the rocks turn on and you stay there enchanted watching the spectacle of nature comfortably seated on your terrace. Well-kept caves/rooms and impeccable service. Tiziana is truly an excellent host. They are also creating a new room, a mega suite with a whirlpool tub and private sauna, with great taste and respect for nature. If you go to Matera, you must stay here, we recommend it because it is a real gem. Abundant and quality breakfast.

An amazing place to stay, in the Sassi, in a cave set into the rock, underneath an ancient church, with stunning views of Matera. You can’t park nearby but if you ask beforehand Tiziana will give you good instructions for where to go. Breakfast was delicious, full of sweet Italian delicacies, would have been nice though to have had some fruit. Lovely welcome from Tiziana and her family and we loved our room, couldn’t believe how beautiful it and the views were and how easy it was to walk from there around Matera. Would love to come back one day, thank you.

For the first time with two friends we visited Matera. Magical and surprising city, especially for the availability and kindness of its inhabitants. The first to introduce us to the character of the Materans were Tiziana and her husband, managers of the structure, where we stayed in a typical cave house, curated in the smallest details and very clean, with a spectacular view of the "gravina", pampered with a typical and very abundant breakfast. Thanks to them we were able to have a special guide for the tour and all the necessary information to fully enjoy the city of Matera. We will recommend to all our friends.

Exceptional location, excellent cleanliness and maintenance of the facility (also see reserved spaces in the garden), courtesy and availability of Mrs. Tiziana and her husband minimum. Excellent breakfast served outdoors with a view of the stones. The only regret is having stayed only one night. If we were to return to Matera, we would certainly know where to go.

Very kind and cultured Mrs. Tiziana. The excellent breakfast was served on the terrace at the small table prepared in front of the breathtaking panorama of Matera Sassi.

Availability and excellent hospitality. Superb and abundant breakfast. The view is fantastic, looking out on the terrace in the evening and seeing the illuminated stones is a very suggestive emotion. The cave room, although smaller, is truly charming and encapsulates the essence (with all the comforts though) of life in the stones. The waterfall shower is also very nice. Very positive experience, to be repeated!

The structure La Corte dei Pastori Luxury is located in one of the most characteristic and beautiful places in the City of Stones. The rooms, actually nestled in the typical millennia-old caves, are furnished with all modern comforts and tastefully and soberly furnished. The family management allows you to appreciate the courtesy and renowned hospitality of the inhabitants of Matera; Mimmo and his wife went out of their way to advise us on how to best enjoy the beauties and local delights. We stayed there for New Year's Eve 2016 and the prices were inevitably a bit higher than usual, but still convenient.

The couple running the B&B were really welcoming and the room was lovely with a stunning view - the one at the front is the one to ask for.\n\nBreakfast was the nicest one I've had in any hotel and we even got to eat on the terrace when weather permitted. It was a bit tricky to find but the owner said he is happy to collect visitors from the station. We didn't mind too much tho as it gave us an opportunity to explore the windy streets of Matera. Would really recommend.
