Just. Awesome.

The villa more than lived up to the photos and descriptions. Stunning hilltop location that offered privacy, 360–degree views, and easy access to Matera and a couple of small charming towns, as well as day trips to the higher-profile tourist towns like Polignano, Alberobello, etc…. The accommodations were pristine, spacious and well laid out. The groundskeeper (Marcello) is there every morning at 7:00 to clean the pool and any other maintenance needs. The owner (Giulio) checked in with us by text on a regular basis to make sure we were well looked after. Stunning sunset was a perfect backdrop for my daughter getting engaged there!! Truly wonderful place/experience.

Stunning...Amazing...Beautiful...Relaxing

We are a family of four visiting Southern Italy, and this villa was the perfect place for us to spend time together for rest, relaxation, and fun. The villa and its location exceeded our expectations. The owner, Giulio, is a fantastic host and very communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed. The villa itself is stunning, offering breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets. The house is well-equipped with all the amenities you could wish for, providing plenty of space for everyone to either enjoy their own activities or come together for family time. There are convenient supermarkets about a 15-minute drive away towards Matera. Overall, we highly recommend this villa and its location to anyone looking to explore this region while also enjoying some peace and quiet. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would love to return in the future.

GREAT Home Base for touring Southern Italy

We are two young families who booked this wonderful property to use as a home base for traveling around together in Southern Italy and we are so glad we did. The home's proximity to Matera is perfect as it was only a 10 min drive and we were able to explore the city daily (the owner's recommendations for dining and sites were spot on) and then return to the expansive property and enjoy wine and the breathtaking sunsets while the kids played in the huge pool. The home is extremely well laid out with the children occupying one room and the adults in the other two rooms (one child choose to sleep on the huge sectional in the living room...all the furniture is different and ten times better than the photos which the owners should update). The entire property is extremely private and secure and proved to be a perfect base to explore other Puglia sites as it was only about an hour to get to most landmarks and towns. A final shout out to the grounds keeper Marcello who was extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Villa Matera

Our trip was wonderful the villa is stunning and perfectly appointed for our family of five including two teens and a 4 year old. The 360 degree views are incredible and sunsets absolutely stunning. We spent evenings picking fruits and herbs in the incredible garden, swimming and soaking in the views while using the outdoor pizza oven to make food. Local grocery store and restaurants are about 15 minutes away and villa is easily accessible to Matera. Matera is an incredible city with so much to explore and see you could spend days there. The villa is also close to beaches about 30 minute drive to the southern coast with sandy beaches perfect for families. Highly recommend beach resort Lido Natura. Also took the 60 minute drive to explore the beautiful towns and coastline on the East coast south of Bari another trip worth making. Overall highly recommend location for exploring southern Italy, Matera and having a place that’s peaceful and serene.

Stunning views and blissful comfort... the home, the grounds, the town... 10/10

So, apparently we were one of the first house guests to this Villa. The owner, Julio, just bought it this year. He and I had several phone conversations before our visit and he was super helpful in managing our first trip to Puglia. Once we were there, the British house manager, Holly, was also lovely and helpful. The online listing was beautiful, but the house exceeded my expectations in person. The furniture is much better than the photos and the views were insane. The house sits on top of a hill and has such amazing sunsets that we’d try to rush home from wherever we were to have cocktails by the pool and watch the sun go down. And the drive through the countryside to the front gate never got old. The home is well appointed and very comfortable. It’s obvious that a lot of attention went into the home design and decor. As for the area, Matera is one of the most magical cities I've ever been to with plenty to do and see. It was simple to get into town for restaurants and grocery runs, though we could have just stayed on the property to eat from the garden. Artichokes, strawberries, lemons and oranges all grow at the house and were delicious. They also had pomegranate trees, but unfortunately, they weren’t in season. We took a couple day trips at Julio's suggestion to Alberobello, Ostuni and Polignano al Mare, and had lunch at the Palazzo Margherita (gorgeous!) about 30 mins away in Bernalda. I'd give our stay 10 stars if I could, and we can’t wait to come back!
