Matera nel verde

Location is a little bit out of Matera centre and it was perfect for us as we had a car. It was quiet and relaxing. Michele was an amazing host the minute we met him. We were blown away by his kindness to show us some sights of Matera. We can not speak enough of Michele and for what he did for us to make it such a memorable stay.

It was perfect 👌

Lovely property

Tricky to find without wifi

We loved our stay at Matera nel verde and Michele was an amazing host. As per usual in Italy, a lot of the communications happen via WhatsApp in advance. We got the exact location ahead of time and Michele was expecting us. He and his family live on the property as well, so it was no issue that we were running a bit later than originally anticipated. We were visiting Matera for a wedding, and the location of the property was super convenient for getting to the wedding location, but also getting to down town was quick and easy. On arrival, Michele let us in and showed us where to park. He offered to show us around Matera and was super accommodating. We unloaded, freshened up and while we were waiting for other members of our party, Michele took us to nearby caves and showed us around and explained Matera's history. We relied on Google Translate for almost all of it, but it worked like a charm. Once our other party members made it to the accommodation and also unloaded and freshened up, we regrouped and Michele gave drove us to the city centre, showed us from the car where all the highlights are and where to best park (both a free option further out, but also the most conveniently located paid option). This was a different kind of hospitality that I haven't experienced in many years. It felt like early day AirBnB, where part of the charm was getting a detailed insider scoop. You definitely don't find as many attentive hosts these days, where most things are geared towards high throughput.

Property was slightly out of town but this was more than made up for by Michele who was an outstanding host. When we arrived he drove us into town to show us where everything was and then took us to show us a cave which was off the beaten track. Room was spacious and clean with everything we needed. Highly recommended

Michele the owner could not have been nicer, offering to give me lifts into town (and back!).

Small thing: lighting was perhaps a bit stark (standard thing in southern Europe tbh, speaking as a half-Portuguese person myself!)

Great location, good facilities, the room is spacious, modern and with nice touches, including some tasty pastries. It is also dog friendly. The host is a wonderful person who made us feel welcome at all times and even took the time to show us important landmarks, he gave us important information and showed us an ancient cave. Thank you Michele!

Clean & close to centre. Host is very helpful.

Nothing

Apsolutly amazing accomandation. Located only 5 minutes drive from Sassi in a quiet and peacefull neighborhood. The whole building itself is newer with beautiful garden and the view. Free parking next to the building. The room is spacious with cozy bed and pillows and fully equiped as it is described. But the best part is it's host. He showed us where to park in the city for free and took us to see the caves outside the city. Unforgetable experience!

The host welcomed us, showed us where to park close to the city center and also brought us to see some caves. Very nice!

Super Friendly owner that even hosts tour of local 1800s cave and provides snaps; brand new studio; good fridge; relatively quiet, great a/c

Location -- need car -- not easily walkable to Sassi
