Lovely helpful staff. Great location with secure parking and only 10/15 mins walk to the centre as long as you are prepared for a steep uphill walk with steps for the return journey. Pool area clean and quiet and a welcome relief for afternoon heat.

Breakfast is primarily cold simple continental style. No hot options.

Aircon ok; seemed to blow in cycles rather than continuously.

Main criticism is the strong toxic fragrance used. Was informed it was fragranced cleaning products and we kept doors open on 1st day which was a nuissance in hot August weather but the smell was giving headaches and congestion. Took 2 days to leave bedroom. We didnt have room cleaned on 2nd day as smell was still there. We had also asked the lovely girl on reception that the fragranced products not be used which she duly noted. By the 2nd evening it had all but gone from the bedroom but unfortunately it is used throughout the corridors and the smell permeates. It hits you when you enter the building especially hallway and stairwell. Smell reminded me of the shop Lush ! If you are allergic/intolerant / migraine triggered by strong air freshener type fragrances then I would avoid this hotel which is a shame as it is a lovely boutique hotel.

An excellent choice for your stay in Matera. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable. The swimming pool was great for an afternoon break from the heat and walking. The staff and breakfast were excellent!!

Staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. The location is about a 10 minute walk to the beginning of the Sassi area and a little longer uphill on the way back (although taxis are available at the edge of the Sassi area.) Room was very nice and clean. The majority of the light came from our large terrace otherwise the room was a bit on the dark side. I would still recommend staying at this hotel.
