The host Erasmo was super friendly and possessed an extremely positive attitude. The property was in a great location. Right outside the property door is a view of the old town, with houses and steps stacked on top of each other. We had the room with the large shower spa which was great. The room in general was spacious, clean and comfortable. I'd stay there again. The breakfast was nice, mainly sweets like cake, croissants, jam etc. Most were homemade by Erasmo's mother which adds a nice touch. Also homemade bread, cold cuts and cheese on offer.

I can't fault the property. Everything was perfect. I'd would suggest to offer savoury breakfast like scrambled eggs or omelette for those tourists who are used to that kind of breakfast.

If I could give this place 11 stars I would! First of all the location is very convenient, because you are a few meters away to the new city (very convenient if you have a car since cars are not allowed in the Sassi area) but also very close to the central streets of Sassi. We stayed at the Suite - the most incredible room !! Very unique experience!! They have magically preserved the cave and many historic pieces inside all while making the room very modern and luxurious. The cave shower is an experience on its own! We stayed with a baby and we were super comfortable. The breakfast is top notch!! You can have homemade cakes, focaccia and jam all made from the owners mother, and Italian cheese and prosciutto and other things worth trying !! Erasmo, the owner is super friendly and overall a very welcoming person always smiling! He also gives some great information about the city and where to navigate which is super helpful!!

Fantastic location overlooking the central Sassi and close to the centre of the old city. Easy to reach via car. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and happy to talk about the history of Matera and make recommendations for sites and restaurants. Our room with the balcony with views into the Sassi was wonderful. Breakfast was included and delicious including home made cakes by Mama. Italy family run hospitality.

The bed was too firm for my liking. A topper & softer pillow would make all the difference to a good night's sleep.

Staying in this house feels like an immersion into the history. Beautiful experience and it is really worth it to book minimum 2 nights in order to properly feel and understand the uniqueness of this wonderful place. The house has a very good vibe and a very good location. The host is very professional but the cherry on the top is the excellent homemade breakfast. I still think sometimes at that beautiful croissant with vanilla cream filling so authentic Italian taste. Thank you for the beautiful experience.

Not trusting my intuition in order to stay 2 nights instead of just one.

La Casa di Ele was a complete surprise. The room where we stayed for two nights was outstanding and brand new. Actually, it was more a small private house than a room, with two adjacent living rooms, two bathrooms, one of them behind the bed very large and futuristic with several sources of water and including changing lights. The room is typical of Matera, almost with no windows. The door is right in one of Matera streets so you immediately walk into the amazing site of Matera. This room is outside the main building where the other guest are and where breakfast is served. The breakfast is very good. All the staff very helpful and educated. The property belongs to a family, several of the member manage it.

Nothing. Everything was picture-perfect !

The location is easy to find and also close to the main attractions and to a garage which accepts reservations. Excellent choice for people with mobility issues as there are no steps to access the property. Breakfast is nice, staff is kind and attentive to customers.

We had a room facing the street and at 6 o'clock in the morning the garbagemen start their work and are very noisy with their bins. At about 6:30am, the garbage trucks and those supplying nearby restaurants are even noisier.

I liked that we were received in such a welcoming way. We were given a drink upon arrival which was really nice on such a hot day. We were also given explanations and a map of things that could be done in Matera. This was very helpful! We had previously stayed one day in Matera at another location but got to see a whole new version of it with the recommendations that were given. The breakfast was yummy. The beds were comfortable and the view from the bedroom was also nice.

Cannot think of anything.

The location was spectacular and Erasmo was amazing. I wish the parking situation was better, because we had to walk our luggage down alot of steps/stairs. Erasmo explained everything very well and even offered to take us on a night tour of Matera, but we just walked ourselves, very safe. The morning breakfast was amazing, with his mama making a lot of the food choices. I wish we could have stayed 2 nights, but the historic part and the Pizzza Vittorio Veneto were so vibrant. So fun to get lost in the old city. And the hike to Belvedere was worth the 1 1/2 hour hike. Loved it so much. We will be back.

The place we stayed, the downstairs was very comfortable but the upstairs room had small beds which were leaning down and the room was small and you couldn't stand up very well. Good for kids upstairs but not adults, but again it was worth it because of the location.

I travelled to Matera with my mom and my dog. We had a very warm welcome from Raffaele and Tina who explained us what to visit around. The room was spacious and well cleaned with a special view on the Sassi. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Sweet and salty stuff available. Traditional focaccia and bread, ricotta, prosciutto, filled croissant. Everything to start the day at the best! A parking spot was few minutes away. The location to see around is just perfect. I do recommend to stay in La Casa di Ele!

All good

Everything was amazing...the hospitality was of a high standard and nothing was a problem. A beautiful family run business - we were always met with a smile and very helpful in so many ways... Thank you to Mamma for her amazing breakfast foccacia and cake - to die for!! Very clean and a great location to see Matera...thanks for a memorable stay...

My only criticism (because you asked) would be the mattresses were very hard for me...but I do like quite a soft mattress! :)
