Rino met us at the property and was an outstanding host. He answered any questions and gave us suggestions for Matera. He also spoke English well. The room was in a perfect location for seeing Matera, only two short blocks until this beautiful city came into view. There is plenty of street parking and also nearby pay parking. We saw people lugging their luggage in and out of Matera, and this seemed much easier. When we come back we will stay here again.

Fantastic location very close to the Sassi and to a cafe for breakfast. Rino was very friendly and helpful. He didn’t always reply immediately to messages but we had no problems with arranging to meet to check in at a time that suited us. He gave us excellent recommendations for dining. The metal bed was comfortable but a bit creaky. We came in May and found a parking space 50m from the appartment. Not sure if it would have been so easy during high season. Overall it met our needs.
