Beautiful room in the Sassi, spectacular bathroom almost like an apartment. Good breakfast. Wonderful view. Before our arrival, they provided us with a series of very useful information for parking, from which we then walked a few minutes.

From start to finish, this was a wonderful stay, and we were made to feel very welcome (2 adults and 3 children). \nCool, clean, and spacious accommodation, plentiful breakfast, and evening drinks on the terrace. \nAll topped off by being in the magical Sassi, we will be back for certain!

Charming location in the heart of the Sassi perfectly meeting expectations and what was promised on the website. Magical atmosphere in tune with the wonder of Matera. Fantastic hosts, abundant and superb breakfast: they offered us to take away what they had set aside for us and we had not consumed. Finally, in Italy, someone has a smart culture against waste!

Structure in a strategic position in the Sasso Barisano. The Deluxe suite is charming, very friendly and helpful staff overall. High-level breakfast if we talk about a B&B. The only flaw, if we want to find one, is the parking space. Obviously, in the center of the 'sassi', you cannot arrive by car, but the structure has an agreement with a parking lot 10 minutes away on foot. For the rest, all Top.

The owner, Mr. Domenico, very kind and precise whom I thank again for the attention given to my birthday. TOP location for accessibility, aesthetic beauty, cleanliness, history that exudes from every inch and proximity to the most attractive places in Matera. I really only have gratitude and appreciation to express for everything. We will definitely return and I recommend everyone to reach this B&B. Great and thanks again.

When the swallows fly, words are not needed. Indeed, the sky above us is full of swallows and the rare griffon vulture. The colors and the atmosphere that you breathe among the stones, the genuine and spontaneous kindness of the people of Lucania: the passionate local culture of Domenico, the availability of Emma, the friendliness and preparation of Antonio, the rural involvement of Nicola from Rabatana, the availability of the blacksmith Antonio. The wind has made the Matera countryside even more beautiful, the clouds have covered like a cloak churches, stones, and history, and the undulating silence of the rustic memory of the poor people now resurrected - reason - as a heritage of the whole world. Thanks to Domenico for his remarkable passion that led us to a truly fantastic region. Compliments.
