Playful manner the room was decorated in. Attractive colour scheme and decor, extra effort was made to make the space feel warm and appealing. Clean and functional bathroom. Comfortable bed. Very walkable neighborhood, we parked our car for three days and had close access to stores, restaurants, and the historic district. Excellent home base location.

Before our arrival, we only received Expedia confirmation, which did not include direct contact info with owner. I messaged owner via Expedia app, the day before but no reply. We were supposed to receive check in instructions day(s) before. We arrived extra early to find the apartment and tried calling owner. Luckily, owner understood we were early and at apartment, so sent her husband to greet us. He spoke enough english to explain things and gave us tips on seeing Matera. Thank goodness it all worked out.

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.

The location was perfect. Close to the old town. We could find a free parkjng but can be very hard... the place looks like new. Good bathroom and shower. Good beds But the room is small and the walls are paper thin. So you can hear the guests on the other room, talking, flushing toilet, taking showers...(the appartment we stayed had 2 rooms) luckly they didnt make any noise late so we could sleep well There is a fridge at room.. but there is nothing on shared space or room for heating water for tea or making coffee

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.

まず、Expediaの説明では、駐車場があるように記載がありますが、実際には駐車場はなく、近辺の駐車場に駐車する必要があります。さらに、宿は、ZTL(入場禁止区域)にあるので、車で行けないので注意が必要です。 宿には人がいないので、チェックインするには、事前に連絡して、方法を確認しておく必要があります。 注意点としては、自分の部屋に入るには、3つのドアを開けなければなりませんが、2つめのドアーでつまずきました。キーを回した後、丸ノブを少し引くようにしないと開きません。私は結局開けられず、オーナーの方に来てもらい、入室方法を教えてもらいました。 部屋は清潔で、小さな冷蔵庫もあります。 観光エリアまでも徒歩圏内ですし、その周辺のレストランを使用できるので、食事には困らないです。
