Norica, was a very gracious and helpful host … the facilities are great and the breakfast was supplied every day which was a great way to start the day. The location is perfect and only a short walk and a few stairs to one of the main piazza’s … plenty of dining and drink options with only a short walk to other piazza’s. Access to the sassi’s are also easy and close. We’d highly recommend a guided walking tour to get the history from an expert. We will be back next visit to Italy :)

Comfortable and clean place

It was a beautiful place and we were quite comfortable. Our room was inside the main building and the rooms outside looked more private. No explanations of laundry facility and we couldn’t wash our clothes, our room had nowhere to dry or hang. Modern shower, good bathroom, fast internet. The breakfast was simple: fresh pastry, machine coffee, packed fruit juice, yogurt.

Unique stay in the Sassi (old town) of Matera. The accommodation is in a cave type room (no windows), it can also be quite damp. The location is fantastic and very easy to find with the hosts instruction. There is no laundry at this location, all though it was advertised.

Unique sassi stay ...

We had a lovely stay, Marta provided us with excellent information. We were lucky to have an upgrade and was given the studio room. It was spacious with authentic cave room experience. The closest and cheapest pay parking is approx. 11 mins. walk. I strongly encourage travelling light as you will be dragging your suitcases in uneven surfaces. Breakfast is ok, enough to give you energy to start your day. The host will make you a nice Italian coffee. The room is clean, strategically located near amazing restaurants and popular sites, with lovely owners, so if this is what you need, then you are in the right place.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was well appointed, comfortable, very clean (5 person room). Great location - easy access to best places. Excellent recommendations for birthday dinner night life from host. The breakfast was simple (pastries, juice, yogurt, espresso ) - fresh fruit / variation of pastry would have been nice. Breakfast is outside on terrace with great views. Bathroom is modern with nice towels. Good wifi. Things to know: 1) Hard to find at night couldn’t see “Le Corte” sign at top of stairs (sign needs lighting at night and a separate sign by the alleyway directing guests up the final set of stairs to main house (host sent instructional video but couldn’t download and we spent 1/2 hour in alleyway below unit during an already late arrival with lots of luggage not knowing where to go); 2) Public parking suggested by the host worked well and is secure. Would be helpful for host to send public parking address / website link to guests in advance as my gps did not get us to the correct spot at first. 3) Walk from public parking with luggage is ~10 minutes (can roll luggage through square) but gps sent us the long way to the square when there was a much easier way. Would be better and more helpful if the host provided a walking map from the public parking to the square. 4) Once through the square requires going down several sets of stairs and uneven alleyway and you must carry your luggage 5) No air conditioning or a fan. More air circulation needed to be comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

EXCELLENT LOCATION, AVERAGE SERVICES

Amazing location, beautiful view. Great matress and hot water. Breakfast is cofee, juice, yogurt and 2 sweet pastries. Very poor. Only sweet, nothing savory. Cleaningness was below average. we had dirty cutlery with Nutella ( I hope), hair & stains everywhere, We booked a superior room, but because of wrong double booking, we were given the cave room, with no other option. You should never give the cave room, without asking first. If you are even a bit claustrophobic, you are done. Too damp and cold (12 Celsius). Waking up in the morning with a headache, runny nose & sore throat, due to the humidity. If you ask for the cave room, you kind of expect that, but if you didnt ask for it, its a problem. You can only sleep with the dehumidifier by the bed working in full power, so if you need quiet to sleep, its a problem. The owner refused to turn on the heating for more than 1 hour per day, because she said ''it is summer''. Meanwhile, the heating in the reception area, where the owner spends her day, was working in full power, all day long. The lady speaks no english, spanish or anything else than Italian. Thats probably why I never got a reply to an email and message I sent 20 days before arriving, asking for directions. Overall, it is in a great spot, in the Sassi and 3 mins from the cafes & restaurants, but the service, cleaning, switch of rooms to the cave with no notice, unwilingness to turn the heat, poor breakfast made it a firm NO.
