Wonderful, friendly, stylish B&B!!
We spent 3 nights in Matera at this B&B and were delighted with the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners despite our lack of Italian. We loved the stylish design of the room, the view across the valley and the freedom to come and go at will that the B&B offered. Lovely breakfast served every day. Very good restaurants within a few minutes walk and just up the road is the main thoroughfare for the evening after-dinner passagiere, which is an absolute must in Matera -- Italian life at its best, and wonderful ice cream too!!

Nice Location, Clean, High cost-performance
Quite nice location, just at the entrance of the Sassi.
Close to the restaurants and bars. Taking into consideration its price, it can be said best value.

grazioso B&B in posizione strategica
Il sig.Giovanni ci ha accolto con gentilezza e professionalità.
Oltre ad essere ottimo ospite è stato un' eccellente e generosa guida turistica senza risparmiarsi in informazioni sulla storia della città che è una meraviglia unica al mondo.
Traspare la sua grande passione per Matera e questo lo abbiamo molto apprezzato!

Bellissima suite nei Sassi
Stupenda location all'interno della zona dei Sassi. B&B all'interno di un sasso ristrutturato coniugando con sapienza stile antico e moderno. Bagno dotato di idromassaggio. Qualità prezzo ottimo. Un'accoglienza magnifica da parte del sig. Giovanni. Consigliatissimo.

Ottimo b&b a due passi dal centro
Siamo stati per una notte per visitare i sassi di matera, il b&b è ottimo perchè è proprio all'interno del sasso caveoso
Pulito, semplice ma buona la colazione
Un pò umido, ma una volta capito dove ci si trova (i sassi) si capisce che è una conseguenza inevitabile
Lo consiglio senza dubbio

Il b&b e' perfetto per una visita dei Sassi.
L'esperienza è stata estremamente positiva sia per la posizione che per il comfort del b&b.
La direzione e' attenta, disponibile, competente e disponibile per il comfort del cliente.
Da questo scaturisce un soggiorno piacevole e ricco di suggestioni.

Nettes Hotel direkt am Sasso
Mein Mann und ich haben dort 3 Nächte verbracht und uns in dem höhlenartigen Zimmer sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal bzw. die Eigentümer waren sehr aufgeschlossen und haben uns gute Tipps für Besichtigungen und Restaurants gegeben. Es gab einfaches Frühstück, aber es war auch mal ein selbstgebackener Kuchen dabei.
Das uns empfohlene Restaurant "Soul Kitchen" mit seiner regionalen Küche nebenan können wir nur weiterempfehlen.

Ne vale la pena!
Comodissimo per visitare i sassi perchè ubicato in centro storico, si è rivelato luogo curato e pulito. La proprietaria, gentilissima e competente, sa consigliare itinerari e siti meritevoli di una visita. Matera è stata una sorpresa piacevole e inaspettata, assolutamente da vedere!
