Breakfast
Starting the day in Matera has a special flavour.
At La Cava nel Barisano Suite, we have chosen to offer you a breakfast designed to give you all the privacy and intimacy of a private home. In the suite you will find everything you need to prepare your morning at your own pace, freely choosing the best moment to enjoy sweet and savoury flavours.
The heart of our breakfast is the homemade cake, prepared according to tradition.
For those who wish to discover the authentic flavours of our land, the Pane di Matera IGP cannot be missed, a symbol of Lucanian gastronomic culture, to be enjoyed as a traditional bruschetta with fresh tomato, just as the old rural custom dictates.
The real added value? Freedom.
There are no set times: you can prepare your tray independently and choose to enjoy it comfortably on the suite’s little terrace, surrounded by the extraordinary panoramic view of the Sassi di Matera.
It will be your special moment, immersed in the silence of the ancient city, in the morning light that illuminates the Murgia Materana, and in the unique atmosphere of a place with thousands of years of history.
A simple, authentic and private breakfast, to make you feel part of this millenary land.
Note for the winter period (January – March)
During the low season, from January to March, the house follows a quieter rhythm.
During this period, breakfast is offered with a dedicated selection that may not include some seasonal fresh products such as the homemade cake, the Pane di Matera IGP, fresh tomatoes, the welcome bottle of wine, or other perishable items kept in the refrigerator.
You will still find a selection of breakfast products and the essentials to start the day pleasantly in your cave house in the heart of the Sassi of Matera.

What guests say
Travelers consistently praise the central location and the spectacular views over Matera and the murgia, often enjoyed from the terrace or balcony. The property, built in a converted cave, stands out for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and charming atmosphere. Guests appreciate features such as a spacious terrace and sauna. The host receives high marks for warm hospitality and helpfulness. Breakfast is often described as plentiful and high quality. The only minor point mentioned concerns the property layout, which is best suited to a couple rather than a larger group. Overall, this accommodation is highly recommended for those seeking a unique and comfortable stay in Matera.

Cara Karen, ti ringrazio di cuore per le tue splendide parole. Sapere che hai apprezzato la posizione unica della casa e la magia di Matera di notte, soprattutto dal nostro balcone, è per me una grande soddisfazione. Sono felice che tu abbia trovato l’ambiente curato, pulito e confortevole: è proprio ciò che desidero offrire a ogni ospite, insieme a un’accoglienza attenta e sincera. Sarà un piacere ospitarti nuovamente per farti vivere ancora un’esperienza speciale nella nostra cava. Un caro saluto, Rosalba e Gianfranco

Ciao Sharon! Grazie mille per la tua bellissima recensione. Leggere quel 10 alla pulizia e all’accoglienza mi scalda il cuore: per me farvi sentire coccolati e a casa è la priorità assoluta, e sapere di esserci riuscito è la soddisfazione più grande. Mi è dispiaciuto un po' vedere quel voto sulla posizione, ma ti capisco bene! Vivere nel cuore dei Sassi è un’esperienza magica, anche se ammetto che i nostri vicoletti e le salite sanno essere una piccola sfida per le gambe. Spero però che la pace e la vista mozzafiato dal terrazzino abbiano ripagato ampiamente ogni passo fatto! È stato un vero piacere ospitarti e spero che Matera ti sia rimasta nel cuore tanto quanto il tuo sorriso è rimasto a noi. Ti aspetto per la prossima passeggiata tra i Sassi! Un abbraccio, Rosalba


Thanks for the review, you are always welcome to leave a review.

Grazie di cuore per le vostre parole così gentili! È stato un vero piacere avervi ospiti e sono felice che abbiate apprezzato la casa, la colazione, la sauna e soprattutto la vista mozzafiato dai nostri Sassi. Sapere che il vostro soggiorno è stato indimenticabile è la soddisfazione più grande per me. Spero di rivedervi presto a Matera! Un caro saluto, Rosalba.


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!
