Corte dei Venti B&B0

The view from the terrace is amazing! Excellent location . But be prepared for a climb up lots of steps as its a pedestrianised area. Worth it for the views though. Serena is good on communication and was very helpful in giving us a lift on the last day. Room and bathroom both very good.

The stairs are very poorly lit and need to have a hand rail and extra lighting put in. Tricky to navigate, especially with bags. Coming in at night from the street outside is also tricky - another light is needed here. Check in details given at the last minute, so slightly rushed. Breakfast was ok but could be better.

The location in the Sassi area of Matera was superb. There was a great view of the cathedral and across the gorge that the town is built on from the shared terrace. The bedroom was very spacious and had a high barrelled ceiling. We had access to the kitchen/dining area in which we could help ourselves to fruit, cakes, snacks and drinks. Information on where to park was provided, and the shuttle bus that runs down into the Sassi area.

The only criticism I could give is that it would have been nice to meet the host at some point during the stay. We were in contact by WhatsApp, but you can't beat face to face contact.

Serena had plenty of food in the refrigerator for us, and brought us tarts for breakfast. The terrace was our favorite place and we could see for a huge distance, across the gorge to the Murgia (the unoccupied caves), and we had a great view of old Matera itself.

It is tricky to find at first, although Serena helped us via phone and text. The city is a maze, but that is its charm. We needed to park outside the city and take a bus into Matera--it sounded like a lot of trouble, but was actually quite easy, aside from having to walk a long way with luggage, since we couldn't drive in Matera. Well worth the trouble!

Excellent location in the very center of the town. Although the accommodation does not include breakfast - my daughter and I were in for a surprise. A delicious breakfast buffet with a wide selection of delicacies. Parking space in the garage is only 5 euros/day. There is a bus stop on the top floor of the parking garage. The bus takes you to the very center of Matera. Simple logistics really.

An excellently located delightful and charming accommodation with a terrace and an outstanding view that made sure each day began and ended with a smile. We knew breakfast was not included but the hosts had ensured that we had coffee, cakes and yoghurts to start our stay, which was appreciated.

The room was great: high ceilings, a lot of space, very spacious and comfortable beds. Our host was great and very helpful and location was perfect: in the middle of the old town with close proximity to nice restaurants.
