What guests say

Reviews emphasize the spectacular panoramic views of Matera from the terrace, often considered the highlight of the stay. The centrally located property combines historic charm with modern design, offering luxurious amenities such as a sauna and stylish furnishings. Guests report excellent cleanliness and particularly appreciate the warm hospitality and helpfulness of the owner. It is worth noting that while the property is advertised as having two bedrooms, the second sleeping area is a sofa bed in a semi-open living room, making it ideal for a couple but potentially less suitable for larger groups.

Gianfranco is a perfect host. He helped us with garage booking and took us from and back to the parking garage. The quality of the breakfast was very good. The house has probably the best view in Matera. The house and sauna were wonderful and the view from the terrace was magical. Thanks Gianfranco for making our stay a memorable one.

The property is lovely and comfortable, well appointed. The only drawback is that it is not a two bedroom situation as advertised. There’s a pull out couch in the living room. The living room is not completely separate from the bedroom and bathroom. It’s perfect for one couple, not more.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Emilie. Grazie per il tuo feedback e per aver apprezzato l’arredamento e il comfort della struttura! Ci teniamo solo a precisare che nella descrizione della casa viene indicata chiaramente *una camera da letto* e *un ampio soggiorno* dotato di un comodo divano letto, soluzione ideale per coppie o piccoli gruppi. Il soggiorno, come specificato, non è completamente separato dalla zona notte, e per questo consigliamo la casa principalmente a chi cerca un ambiente intimo e accogliente. Apprezziamo comunque la tua osservazione, sempre utile per migliorare la comunicazione con i nostri ospiti. Speriamo di riaverti presto!

The highlight of this apartment is undoubtedly the breathtaking view. The terrace offers a perfect spot to relax and soak in the stunning landscape of Matera, making it an unforgettable experience. Inside, the apartment features a luxurious bedroom at the back of the cave, providing a peaceful retreat. The inclusion of a large sauna adds to the relaxation factor, making it an ideal getaway. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their hospitality truly enhanced our experience. If you are looking for a unique and beautiful place to stay in Matera, this apartment is an excellent choice. With its amazing terrace and luxurious amenities, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and style. Highly recommended!
