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.

Incredible cave house with the most amazing view of Matera. The host was extremely friendly and very helpful with tips on what to do in Matera. We were welcomed with homemade cakes and traditional bread; I can only say wow. The terrace is absolutely stunning, very spacious and with an incredible view. The house is immaculately clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is beautiful and very unique with LED lights. We were absolutely blown away by our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The host left us a fully stocked fridge, including a bottle of wine. I cannot recommend this place enough.

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!
