Only that we had to leave this magical place.

First off, the owner was so kind and communicative. He carried our luggage up the stairs for our despite my husband’s assistance that he would do it. When I became unexpectedly ill and had to visit the emergency room late at night, they called a taxi for us and continually texted me to check on my well being. The room itself is located in a fantastic location. We felt like royalty sitting outside at night in our balcony overlooking the piazza. Cold drinks, cookies, and tea were provided for free which was lovely and convenient. The rainfall shower was nothing like we had ever seen. Overall…10 stars!

The property is authentic, comfortable and very central. Also, hosts are outstanding, so helpful with tips for local activities.

Minor feedback. Personally, we weren't fans of the type of sheets on the bed. There were flies in the room when we first got there, but easily sorted with a rolled up newspaper and wasn't an issue for the rest of the stay.

Excellent location. We literally walked out onto the setting from a scene in James Bond. Host was very helpful and very friendly. That was a nice selection of annemeties in the room (teas, biscuits drinks etc) - it was very spacious. Air conditioning worked very well. Overall we'd highly recommend it and it was great value for money.

Nicola and Marilena are great hosts that do everything possible to make one's stay comfortable and enjoyable. We stayed in a nice room with a balcony that had a splendid view over a beautiful square, which also happens to be the square where the last James Bond film was shot. If you come to Matera we highly recommend that you stay at their place.

- [ ] While location is good for sightseeing, not great when people are hanging out in front of your door from the cafe next door - [ ] Glass doors muffle most of the noise but we like to keep the back doors cracked- can be noisy - [ ] No screens on the doors - flies came in - [ ] Only one tiny waste bin in the bathroom; had to improvise - [ ] Due to the smallish size of the rooms, no real good storage options.

- [ ] The location right in the heart of the old town - [ ] Modern, minimalist aesthetic - [ ] Full length mirror - [ ] Amazing hairdryer - [ ] Large shower with handheld wand - [ ] Nice amenities (missing cotton swabs and conditioner) - [ ] Bidet - [ ] Large quality towels - [ ] Bedroom balcony doors have shutters so room can get very dark - [ ] Two small balconies letting lots of natural light - [ ] Air conditioning (did not use) - [ ] Comfortable but soft bed - [ ] Separate living room with tv - [ ] Mini bar with free non-alcoholic drinks, plenty of bottled water - [ ] Tea (no coffee) - [ ] Little candies and light snacks - [ ] Straight on view of a square and church - [ ] Many local cafes and restaurants nearby - [ ] Lively night life with families strolling and hanging out in the square

There is nothing we don't like.

The place is magical, the views are breathtaking. The place is super clean, beautiful, there are many details that make you feel very special. The host is extremely kind and a great gentleman. The bed is very comfortable and everything is very beautiful. The location was also great. You don't want to leave this place. I don't think the pictures of the place can do justice to how beautiful the place actually is, we recommend it!

Great location, close to all points of interest, in front of square. Large rooms, fully equipped. Hospitality and availability from the host in everything we needed.

We stayed in the loft room accessed by a steep staircase so not for those with mobility issues, but our host Nicola insisted on taking the luggage up and down for us. Similarly Matera itself is on a steep valley side so again not perhaps for those with mobility issues.

Friendly and helpful hosts & spotlessly clean property. Excellent location on the edge of the old town, in a small square opposite a church. Nice balcony overlooking both. The location featured in a James Bond film! Breakfast is in a neighbouring bar served by Aldo - another great host. Lots of restaurants nearby. For us Matera was the high-spot of a two week southern Italy holiday. The Sassi caves are fascinating and the extensive old town is very pretty but not over commercialised.

We had a wonderful time in Matera. The apartment is cozy, modern and really clean. Nicola and Marilena are very hospitable hosts. They delivered the best service we experienced during our holidays and left no wishes unfulfilled. The apartment is located directly in the beautiful oldtown of Matera. We would be happy to return someday.

Check-in time was a little late but not really an issue.

The location was great on the square and it was so quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The hosts were very friendly and helpful!

Nothing.

Everything. This place was beautiful. In such a good location. Lesser Kestrels could be seen on the church across from the balcony in the early morning. Venue was soo central and easy to get to. The owner was very helpful with all his information. Would definitely recommend this place. ❤️❤️
