    Everything was good, except the window is above a little street and some of the teenagers were making a lot of noise, but it's not something we can controll, teenagers have a lot of energy.

    It's conveniently in the old city and close to the street parking, which is a big plus if you have a car and luggage. Clean and a very very beautiful view from the shade balcony. That appartment has 2 rooms with a shared kitchen.

    The bedroom was nearby the busy street but if you close the windows you'll hear less of the crowds. Other than that, everything was amazing!:)

    We loved how she communicated with us quickly and was very warm and welcoming. The place had an outstanding view of the sassi in the balcony! We also loved how it was central to everything. We were able to find a parking spot just nearby (5mins walk away) on the streets.

    The place is really nice … the only thing that my friend and I would like to recommend ( being both females) is to have a mirror in the bedroom area ( not just in the bathroom ) so it’s easier to get ready without waiting for the other person .

    The location was perfect … You can basically see the Sassi from the verandah ! So you have your own private view of the Sassi early in the morning or late at night or anytime 😊. Close to everything …. bars , cafe , museum , Sassi lookout , the piazza etc . And the place is tastefully done ! So clean and modern inside . And last but not the least , Angela ( our host ) was so beautiful and accommodating 🥰 Just a note : The Sassi is totally walkable regardless of where you are staying in the Sassi area .

    I fell in love with L'Affaccio. The location, the property (big bright room on the second floor), the cleanliness and of course one of the best views from the terrace towards the Sassy. All managed by lovely Angela and her team. Thank you for making my experience beyond my expectations.

    The location is just 1 min away from the main streets. Angela, our host, was very kind and friendly and she helped us with the parking. In addition, this place is one of the cleanest places we've been - we had everything we need during our stay and even more! The apartment has a terrace with the best view ever and we had a compliment from Angela - a bottle of red wine, which we drank on the terrace, watching the gorgeous view. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Angela for offering your fantastic home!

    Leaving

    I really cannot believe that we found such a wonderful place to stay in Matera. The location is absolutely perfect, the accommodation is extremely stylish and Angela is the most kind and lovely host. From the roof terrace you have a full view of the sassi...and what an amazing view; the bottle of wine to watch the sunset with was an added bonus. Everything was spotless. The moment you step out of the door you are in the historic centre and everywhere is walkable (you certainly get your steps in!) There's a good choice of bars and restaurants, and of course some wonderful artisan shops too. I would return here any time I come back to Matera.

    I thought the balcony was attached to the room but it was actually up a flight of stairs. There was no view window from the room. There was one ottoman in the room but two would have been nice for two people (we had twin beds room). The air conditioning was wonky and we had to call the owner to assist us, but it did work.

    The host met us in the street to show us to our room. There was a splint of red wine left for us and there was a shared kitchen where tea was available. The host spoke no English but used a voice translator to communicate. The apartment was at the edge of the Sassi and the town, so easy access to both.

    Historic location but less busy area; very clean and comfortable with an incredible view of Matera from the balcony and inside the common area. Nice bathroom and bedding. The owner Angela is extremely attentive and helpful, organizing tours for us and recommending places to visit. We loved the wine she left for us. An outstanding choice and we hope to return.

    Stayed in may 2023. L'Affaccio have a perfect lacalization to for active sightseeing of Matera - the old town. The facility is within a 10-12 minute walk from the main railway station and the bus station. There is no direct access by car if that is your way of travelling, but you may find parking close by. In the close vicinity you will find everything you need - bars, restaurants, bakeries, market. Our room was on the first floor of the apartment (internal stairs), there is only one more room on the ground floor for other guests. Our room was spacious, equipped with everything you need (air conditioning, hangers, luggage space, comfortable bed, bedside tables, TV), the room has a window overlooking a small side street. There was silence at night. The bathroom is well equipped (with a small window overlooking old Matera), equipped with disposable gels, soap, shampoo, adequate amount of towels, shower, bidet. All quite modern very clean and tidy. In the common area there is a kitchenette with basic utensils and a living room with a table and chairs. On the first floor there is a public balcony with a beautiful view of the old town which I liked the most, there are tables and chairs where you can relax. The whole apartment is neat - artistically decorated in good taste. The owner of the facility is very nice, helpful and communicative. Very good value for money, wish there were more places like L'Affaccio in Italy. In summary, I recommend this place!

    Lovely, friendly host for a beautiful property in an amazing central location. Just exceptional. Very much enjoyed the fact that the premises had a small kitchen, with everything you need to make coffee/tea, and a small frig. As we stayed there over Easter, we really appreciated being able to have our own Easter Sunday brunch on the property terrace, relaxing while looking out at the gorgeous view. If you go to Matera, we recommend that you stay here. (One note: like many places in Matera, there are stairs so if you have issues with stairs, be sure to book the room on the main floor, as there are only few stairs at the entry down to the main level.)
