Before our arrival, we only received Expedia confirmation, which did not include direct contact info with owner.

I messaged owner via Expedia app, the day before but no reply. We were supposed to receive check in instructions day(s) before.

We arrived extra early to find the apartment and tried calling owner. Luckily, owner understood we were early and at apartment, so sent her husband to greet us. He spoke enough english to explain things and gave us tips on seeing Matera.

Thank goodness it all worked out.

Playful manner the room was decorated in. Attractive colour scheme and decor, extra effort was made to make the space feel warm and appealing.
Clean and functional bathroom. Comfortable bed. Very walkable neighborhood, we parked our car for three days and had close access to stores, restaurants, and the historic district. Excellent home base location.

The location was perfect. Close to the old town. We could find a free parkjng but can be very hard... the place looks like new. Good bathroom and shower. Good beds
But the room is small and the walls are paper thin. So you can hear the guests on the other room, talking, flushing toilet, taking showers...(the appartment we stayed had 2 rooms) luckly they didnt make any noise late so we could sleep well
There is a fridge at room.. but there is nothing on shared space or room for heating water for tea or making coffee

Rino met us at the property and was an outstanding host. He answered any questions and gave us suggestions for Matera. He also spoke English well.

The room was in a perfect location for seeing Matera, only two short blocks until this beautiful city came into view.

There is plenty of street parking and also nearby pay parking. We saw people lugging their luggage in and out of Matera, and this seemed much easier.

When we come back we will stay here again.

Fantastic location very close to the Sassi and to a cafe for breakfast.
Rino was very friendly and helpful. He didn’t always reply immediately to messages but we had no problems with arranging to meet to check in at a time that suited us. He gave us excellent recommendations for dining.
The metal bed was comfortable but a bit creaky.
We came in May and found a parking space 50m from the appartment. Not sure if it would have been so easy during high season. Overall it met our needs.

Decent room. Good position within walking distance to interesting areas. Parking should be included, but it was absolutely not. We could only park in a public underground parking lot, and it cost 17 € for one night. We were also not satisfied with the lead-up to our visit. We were supposed to get check-in instruction 24 hours before - I had tried to make contact twice and started to worry. We only got a message 1 hour before check-in time. And the host wanted us to send photos of our passport/ID by mail - but you should never do so since the security is not ok at all. We called the host after arrival, and after few minutes he came and opened the door.

まず、Expediaの説明では、駐車場があるように記載がありますが、実際には駐車場はなく、近辺の駐車場に駐車する必要があります。さらに、宿は、ZTL(入場禁止区域)にあるので、車で行けないので注意が必要です。

宿には人がいないので、チェックインするには、事前に連絡して、方法を確認しておく必要があります。

注意点としては、自分の部屋に入るには、3つのドアを開けなければなりませんが、2つめのドアーでつまずきました。キーを回した後、丸ノブを少し引くようにしないと開きません。私は結局開けられず、オーナーの方に来てもらい、入室方法を教えてもらいました。

部屋は清潔で、小さな冷蔵庫もあります。
観光エリアまでも徒歩圏内ですし、その周辺のレストランを使用できるので、食事には困らないです。

Tivemos que deixar o carro no castelo, mais ou menos 1 km a pé , deixando tudo no carro e levando somente 1 muda de roupa para troca . O quarto é legal, silencioso , porém precisa deixar claro sobre estacionamento .

Um pouco confuso o check in pois não há recepção e a chave é deixada numa caixinha, só que não deram as informações antecipadas e fonos direto no local para deixar as mochilas, visto que o Check-in é aomente às 15hs e andar por Matera com mochila nas costas não há condições. Nao havia ninguém no local e um hóspedes abriu a porta para nós e deixamos as bagagens num canto. Escrevi para o hotel e ele trponderam rapidamente e guardaram a bagagem. Apesar do mal entendido o local é ótimo, todo reformado e com uma decoração acolhedora e ao final tudo terminou bem, apesar da falta de informação antecipada. O local cale a pena e é muito bem localizado, na entrada do centro histórico de Matera. Recomendo. Apenas se atente a bagagem se vc chegar cedo na cidade, pq é impossível visitar Matera com bagagem e mochila. No mais é muito bonito e acolhedor o quarto.

Bien en general

La estadía estuvo bien, está muy bien ubicado y el check in no fue para nada complejo.
Mejoraría la cama, ya que a pesar de que el colchón es bueno hace mucho ruido la estructura durante el descanso, sumado al ruido de las habitaciones de al lado.
Baño completo, con todo lo necesario.
A futuro implementaría posibilidad de pago con tarjeta, solo se podía en efectivo.

Excellent rapport qualité-prix pour visiter Matera

Résidence de qualité, confortable, bien équipée, idéalement située à deux pas du centre historique. Facilité pour se garer avec les conseils du propriétaire.
Un seul problème : il n'y a aucun numéro indiqué pour appeler le propriétaire et signaler votre arrivée. Seul le propriétaire vous appelle mais si votre téléphone n'est pas connecté, cela devient très compliqué !
