What guests say
Travelers consistently praise the spectacular panoramic views over Matera, especially from the spacious terrace, which is often highlighted as a main feature. The property, a tastefully renovated former cave, combines modern comforts with unique historic charm. Cleanliness and overall comfort are rated highly, with amenities such as a quality bathroom, sometimes a sauna, and thoughtful extras like well-stocked fridges or homemade treats. The central location is ideal for exploring Matera. Hosts are frequently described as friendly and attentive. It’s worth noting that while perfect for couples, the extra bed is a sofa bed in the living area, not fully separated from the main bedroom. Overall, it's highly recommended for those looking for a special and memorable stay in Matera.


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!
