It was a truly excellent stay that will also be remembered for the uncommon attention received

The structure of the stones makes them cool and damp, despite the abnormal season. We were hot at night, but it also depends on personal habits. Nothing insurmountable

You stay in the open air museum.

My wife needed a large fitting mirror, the bathroom mirror could have been bigger. The Internet was a drama, but it probably had to do with the Pope's visit to Matera.

wedding gift without words

if i have to find one small mole but it had absolutely no effect on our wonderful living room this is a very small note to improve even more it is the mattress (or net?) that makes the pool in the middle behind which that feeling of sliding towards the center of the bed

Interesting and unique place. Should have stayed

Judging by the picture, I thought in advance that the reservation was for another apartment. My review for booking. com practice is to show a picture in the armor that does not match the armor. It wasn't the first time this happened.

Good location but hard to find.

Can't be found. There is no outside signage. The owners send you a 200-line email the day before your arrival explaining everything that is prohibited and clarify at the end of the email (which you don't read because it's long) that you must send them a copy of your passport to get information about accommodation...
