Guest Reviews
- Bernd (9/5): Genial, gerne wieder - Lage perfekt direkt in der Sassi, Ida immer hilfsbereit und gab uns sehr gute Ratschläge
- Petra (6/5): Zavádějící fotografie, náročný terén - + Skvělá komunikace s hostitelem, majitelka Ida je velmi přátelská a pohostinná a správce ochotný.
+ Autentický historický dům se základy zapuštěnými do jeskyně. - POZOR NA TERASU, která je jako úvodní fotografie velmi lákavá a pro mnoho zájemců může být hlavním motivem pro výběr domu. Jedná se o SOUKROMOU terasu majitelky domu, která bydlí v prostředním patře. Je sice velice ochotná a dává hostům k dispozici terasu i svou kuchyň, ale přece jen to není tak, že se ráno probudíte a rovnou z postele si spontánně vyjdete v pyžamu na terasu pozdravit slunce s kafem v ruce. Musíte už brát ohledy na to, že vcházíte k majitelce do bytu.
- Pokud přijedete ve 4 lidech a plánujete využít oba pokoje, POZOR! Jsou to sice dva pokoje v přízemí a 2.patře jednoho domu, ale nejsou vzájemně propojené a díky kopcovitému terénu Matery je vzájemné navštěvování otázkou 5-10 min chůze po ulici.
- Je obtížné ubytování vůbec najít, správce sice pošle instruktážní video, ale všechny ulice Matery jsou si podobné a je lehké se ztratit. Nejjednodušší způsob je setkat se se správcem někde na hlavní ulici a nechat se k domu dovést.
- Náročný terén, nevhodné pro starší osoby. Daleko k barům na snídani, daleko k hlavním turistickým zajímavostem.
- Umyvadlo v horním bytě je ve sprchovém koutě, takže musíte plánovat logistiku využití koupelny tak, abyste při čištění zubů nestáli v louži.
- Joseph (10/5): - Everything, the location couldn't be better, wonderful panorama from the terrace. Matera is magical and our host was charming , helpful and her property was well equipped and tastefully furnished. Nothing
- Marcela (10/5): - Ida nos ofreció una experiencia,calida,interesante y nos ayudó con trámites.
Además sus recomendaciones eran perfectas para nuestro gusto.
- dror (7/5): -
- Manuela (7/5): Accoglienza calorosa e disponibile. Buona la posizione per raggiungere le varie mete d’interesse. Il materasso non comod - La posizione Il materasso poco comodo e il bagno troppo piccolo
- Ada (10/5): Consigliato. - Nel cuore dei Sassi, posizione strategica. La signora Ida è l’anima della struttura: con i suoi consigli renderà perfetto il vostro soggiorno a Matera. Tenendo presente che ho prenotato una camera deluxe, Il bagno è molto piccolo e un po’ scomodo: manca il bidet e il lavandino è all’interno della doccia
- Stephan (8/5): -
- Miller (10/5): Lovely stay in Matera - Lovely apt we were so happy to stay. Very comfortable and Ida was the perfect host. Very helpful with directions and going out of her way to help us with evening parking in the ZTL. Be mindful that visiting Matera has a lot of stairs and cobblestone paths. The apt and bedroom has steep stairs as well. Just FYI but well worth it, awesome views of the Stassi.
- Kim (10/5): - Clean and welcoming. Location was perfect and the host was brilliant.
- Birgit und Michael (9/5): Ein Träumchen 🥰 - Mitten in Matera. Zu Fuss alles wunderbar zu erreichen Sehr nette Gastgeberin. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl Konnten wg einer Veranstaltung nicht mit dem Auto rein fahren. Ida hat alles organisiert und wir wurden abgeholt und unser Auto stand sicher
- Carline (10/5): - Ida was een fantastische host, ze gaf ons veel advies over wat leuk is om te doen in Matera, we hebben een erg plezierig verblijf gehad!
- Vincent Belo (10/5): Amazing 100% - Beautiful aprtment with wonderful and helpful host. 100% recommend Couldn't had stayed longer
- Barsom (9/5): Otroligt bra - Mysigt, centralt, mycket vänlig värd.
- Martin (8/5): Great combination (Matera and Ida’s place) to celebrate a special occasion. - Excellent location, nice clean bedroom with own toilet and shower with exclusive access. ‘Shared’ access to kitchen, living/dining room and large balcony with wonderful views. Host very attentive and eager to ensure all needs are catered which as many of the reviews attest to, is greatly appreciated by most. Ida provided extensive instructions and we used them to easily find a free parking space on via Gattini. Particularly liked that we could wander round the old town early in the morning before anyone arrived. ‘Slow’ travel at its best! Instructions on access to ‘ZTL’ zone and when to access without getting a fine, could be clearer. Only really an issue if you have a lot of luggage which we did. Would have been nice to avoid the walk down to the property and then up again to the car with all bags. However, another option is to leave car in a specific carpark (sorry can’t remember name) and to take the small red bus from the carpark down into the old town. It stops almost outside the accommodation. The other issue was trying to find space in the very large fridge. We only stayed for one night and so didn’t have that much food and drink to store but if staying for a few days, we would have wanted much more space than was available. It was literally a case of forcing things in where you could find some space.
Finally, and as per my comment above in ‘what we liked’, Ida is a lovely person and it was great to sit down and to talk with her. However, it was our wedding anniversary, a fact that we made known and we would have appreciated having a more secluded dinner on the balcony in the evening. I’m sure that checking paperwork in the kitchen just next to the balcony could have been left to another time.
- Roman (9/5): - Lokalizacja !!! W opisie obiektu są nieprawdziwe informacje np. Nie można parkować przy obiekcie na ulicy totalny zakaz , najbliższy parking to ok.1 km.Zdjęcia które pokazuje właściciel w większości należą do prywatnego mieszkania a nie na wynajem , np. Zdjęcie tarasu , które mnie skusiło , to prywatny taras właścicielki .
- Bartlomiej (6/5): Pleasant -
- Josee (10/5): Exceptional - The best experience in Italy 😁. Just like visiting your Italian aunt. The host was welcoming, we miss her already. ❤️ Nothing
- Olivier (10/5): Grazie Ida - Ida is a super host. She gave me a lot of hints to visit the city. Her house is located in the old part of the city
- Andrea (5/5): ok - The location is perfect as it is in the middle of the old town of matera. Easy to find with the location you sent us.
The owner was nice and friendlly - Terrace is not part of the common area, is part of the private house of the owner, which she was nice and let us use it. But its not as adverticed in the comments. We didn't have keys to enter and use it for sunrise as we planned when booked as we had to message the owner to let us in.
- We got a different room than the one we booked, we tried to explain in italian and that we thought the terrace was ours (also in the booking said our room had a terrace) no room has terrace. We would have never spent so much money on a room with no balcony as it was the only reason we booked it. We didn't ask for our money back and open a claim on booking because they let us use the balcony (even if its suppposed to be shared which means not private) and use the linen cloth for our photos and the family was nice and kind.
- Very expensive
- We got the cave room by mistake, which when we booked it it was 45$ cheaper than the one we booked but after we have checked during summer months is a lot more expensive.
- I would just change in the information about the terrace and explain better it is NOT common space as we didn't have keys to enter and the owner of the house let us use while she was in the living room.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - location and charming host
- Andy (1/5): book somewhere else who values you custom - no signage to property
no information sent to find it in the warren of streets
appalling handling of our booking.
wasted 2 hours of my life trying to get into the b&b, which we never did!
my advice would be dont bother book somewhere else
- Vanja (9/5): Charming - Charming place in the middle of Matera.
- Valeria (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The senora spoke only Italian so difficult for English speakers.
An amazing location but difficult to find.
- Giovanni (10/5): Ottima accoglienza! - Soggiorno piacevolissimo nel bel mezzo dei Sassi di Matera. Accoglienza più che ottima da parte della Sig.ra Ida, proprietaria del B&B e sempre molto disponibile. Ottima colazione e abbondante. Bellissimo terrazzo con affaccio sui Sassi e sul Duomo. Pulizia e comfort notevoli a prezzi molto competitivi. Lo consiglio assolutamente, sia per viaggi di vacanza, sia per impegni di lavoro.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Posizione ottima, pulizia buona. A livello organizzativo ampi margini di miglioramento. I proprietari sono accoglienti e possono notevolmente migliorare la gestione del servizio.
