A location was perfect - just a little distance from the old town. Peaceful quiet street without noise and crowd. Rino is perfect host. He cares about guests well. We arrived later than expected, and he waited for us near accommodation. He answered all the questions and advised the best touristic routes. Accommodation is great, clean and lovely managed. We really relaxed there. Towels and linen are white and soft About breakfast. There is coffee machine with capsule coffee, tee choice, Nutella and jam, cakes, milk, jogurt, butter. Enough for quick breakfast before exploring the city

It was exhausting to reach Matera from Bari. Google map does not offer direct routes, and we spent more than a half of day for a way. However, there are direct Marinobus and intercity train between Bari and Matera with commuting time about 1hour. Try to find these options and save your time.

Angelo-the host was very responsive and helpful. He helped to find a parking spot nearby. Regarding the hotel, location is great, enables parking without the entering the historic centre traffic and walk there easily. The room is also very clean and comfortable. A very nice shop for good food nearby the hotel is 'Zuzù', at via Piave, for olives, fruits, snacks, cheese etc... Matera is excellent in many aspects if you are interested in history, culture, food, sociology, nature, archeology, peasant/rural life, religion history (paganism-early christianism, orthodoxy impact..)... I strongly advise to make some search about Matera region and decide some higlights upfront . Christ stopped at Eboli (book by Carlo Levi and movie with same name) may be a good start. Matera is perfect for photography from all points, hills, caves, historical buildings, valley.. I suggest not to miss Sasso Caveoso region of Matera. Among other food, local bread and fava are delicious. At Il terrazino we had several delicious food, at da Nico we ordered only fava and it was also delicious. Overall the prices in museums, restaurants, shops etc are normal, considering it is a touristic place... Regarding museums: at Museo nazionale you can see photographs and large scale painting by Carlo Levi. At Casa Noha you can watch a very good documentary about Matera. There are several cave-museums which explains how people used to live such as casa grotta do vico Solitario, casa grotta del Casalnuovo etc. Santa Maria de Idris was also a small but nice museum-cave church. There are various other museums which looks interesting...We didn't find time unfortunately but it seems frescoes at Cripto del Peccato Originale (~13km) are definitely worth seeing. I would like to visit Matera again someday.

Excelent location, very, very clean, host had excellent recomendations what to see arround Matera and where to eat. Thank you Rino 👍

Room is in the appartment with two rooms. Private bathroom is next to the room, so you have to go out of your room to get into bathroom. Not very convinient. Room is pretty dark as it has one franch balcony facing building's small atrium.
