I arrived at B&B Casastella on the advice of a friend and therefore with positive expectations but, I assure you that what I found was well above any expectations for a B&B. Mrs. Manuela, who owns it, welcomes you with class knowing how to combine professionalism and friendliness like few others. The house, very well positioned for visits to both the current Matera and Matera Sassi, accommodates 4 rooms each different from the other and one more beautiful than the other; furnished with refined pieces of local tradition carefully chosen by Mrs. Manuela herself when she recently renovated the house. What you are presented with is a pleasant mix of the warm hospitality of the holiday home and the excellent functionality found in a high standing hotel. Breakfast, consumed in the cozy "lobby" of the house, is complete, of excellent quality and served with great attention to detail. Very clean environment, excellent wi-fi coverage. Price absolutely in line. What about... to return absolutely on another visit and to recommend to anyone who decides to go to Matera.

The owner Manuela welcomed us with a smile, making us feel at home in an extraordinary location. A wonderful experience for a weekend in a unique city. Attention to detail, affability and availability, the rooms looked after without losing the originality of a unique place in the world

Good location 5-600 m from the food street. Casa Stella is clean and inviting and run by an incredibly helpful hostess, Manuella.
The rooms are bright, quiet, clean and well-functioning.
The breakfast is varied from morning to morning and requests are met.

Feeling at home in a house built around the cistern, calcarenite for sleeping, rich breakfast with typical products. Accurate finishes and precise restoration of the rooms

Maximum peace, care, cleanliness and friendliness. Fair prices.

I stayed for three nights in this fantastic b&b, the super owner Manuela is wonderful, always ready to go out of her way to help her guests. Easy to reach. A few hundred meters from the center, very clean rooms, with the hall taken care of down to the smallest details, as is the wonderful owner, I hope to return very soon

Now it is a necessity; every year visit Matera but staying in the star of B&B... Casastella.
It is just like being with your family, in a cave house restored with elegance and style, a few steps from the stones (Caveoso). Lovely rooms with windows towards the Murgia and therefore very quiet.
Great breakfast with sweet and savory. Possibility of free access to fresh coffee drinks.
Thank you Manuela for your welcome and sympathy.

Casastella is one of the loveliest places I've stayed; extremely comfortable, masses of character, beautifully furnished, and an exceptionally friendly welcome. We stayed in the one of the original cave rooms, which has a stunning view out into the gravina which the town clings to. Our bathroom was also a former cave and has to be seen to believed (it's about the size of our living room in London). As someone else has pointed out, it's not en suite to the bedroom, but you don't share it (the other bedroom can only be booked in conjuction with the suite - eg for families) and there are no other rooms on that floor, so you have have privacy. The bedroom is cool anyway, being a cave, but also has air conditioning, which was useful being in Matera in August (we would recommend visiting in spring or autumn). Breakfast was beautifully presented, though it's very sweet - cornetto, cakes, fruit etc - which is typical of the area.

The B&B is on the edge of the sassi caveoso, but is only a 5-10 minute walk from the heart of the sassi and the benefit of being a little further out is that Casastella is easy to find and you can park on the street outside.

Manuela made us feel extremely welcome, and although our Italian isn't great we managed to understand each other - so don't let a lack of Italian put you off staying. I'd wanted to visit Matera for years; I loved the city but I would return just to stay at Casastella again!

Very hospitable lodgings, close to the sassi and not too difficult to find. Our room was very clean and in the severe style associated with the region, i.e., rock arches and white walls and a magnificent view of the ravine. Hosts were friendly, one of whom was our guide in his motorized cart, which we discovered is a much more comfortable way to travel as opposed to hiking up and down the hills. On-street parking was available as long as you didn't park in front of the neighbor's door. We used the opportunity to practice (not perfect) our Italian and had no difficulties getting around. As for getting something to eat (breakfast is excellent), may I recommend Speedy Gonzales, two blocks toward town between Casal Nuova and Via Lucana. Not the world's best pizza but actually pretty good and a neighborhood favorite. It took me 30 minutes to get my order (most are called in), but I spent the time watching Italian families in a normal setting. Most interesting, even if you have to choose among 50 varieties.

We just returned from a very short but wonderful stay at Casastella. Both Manuela and her son Paolo were charming hosts. The B&B is beautiful and, as earlier reviews indicated, very clean with a lot of care taken to details, starting from the lovely bathroom to the beautifully presented breakfast. While my husband and I enjoyed the warm fireplace in the lobby (surrounded by Christmas sights and smells), Paolo (who was extremely helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations) offered us a little silver platter complete with mini Prosecco, champagne flutes and chocolates and played a CD with some sweet Italian jazz before departing for the night. It was a memorable experience. They even presented us with a miniature sassi house as a parting gift (after a one night stay!). These sweet little touches made this one of our most pleasurable stays in Italy. Even our teenagers, who normally complain about our selection of B&Bs and Agriturismos, were very pleased with this choice.It's walking distance to the most beautiful area of sassi and highly recommend, even off season.

For 10 pax, do you have 5 rooms available for booking?
Answer from
Fraser Coast, Australia
No, there is a common area where breakfast is served near the Reception but not a balcony, it doesn't have a view of the city but our room had a view of the gorge which was very nice.
