Every aspect of the stay was delightful. If you book, you will not be disappointed!!

it's a high ceiling old building, very cozy and stylish. the location is OK, to the Cathedral there are around 10 min of walking, but the area is good, full of restaurants. Choose the breakfast option as there are not many places open at 8-9 AM.

Our host Maria was very friendly and helpful.She prepared us a fantastic breakfast too.Thank you Maria for helping to make our stay special.

The parking off the island was a bit tricky but they were very good communicating help, and directions were very clear to find their villa! They had an amazing roof terrace and inner garden with a couch that was beautiful. Miguel the host was so helpful when we arrived with map and suggestions of where and what to see on the island that were perfect for our short stay. The breakfast on the outside terrace was the best...fresh everything!

Amazing view from the terrace, very clean room and very helpful owner who gave great tips!

Very large room nicely decorated in an old cave building. Very nice staff who provided valuable information about places to visit and restaurant tips. Well appointed breakfast area.

Everything was perfekt! Maria the Manager was Great and filled the location with soul! We hat a great time there! Thank you for the hospitality! Ich

Kind hostess. Found parking spaces and drove us around to park our car. Great room overlooking the Sasssi. We didn’t have breakfast, but it looked delicious and very generous. Would highly recommend

The location of the place is amazing and the room as well as the view are stunning ! It was such a romantical place ! The room was spacious and everything was with good quality (breakfast, shower products, decoration) Our host was very kind and so helpful with our luggages and our late arrival ! I would recommand the place without hesitation and hope to come back soon !

The location was wonderful, the house/rooms were beautiful and uniquely decorated, the breakfast was great, and service was friendly and professional. Maria was very welcoming and helpful. We loved it!

Affacciato sul Sasso Caveoso di Matera, Corte San Leonardo è situato in una struttura del 17° secolo dichiarata dall'UNESCO Patrimonio dell'Umanità. L’immobile vanta una corte privata, una terrazza solarium e camere con pareti in tufo a vista con affaccio sui Sassi. La suite è scavata direttamente nella roccia e dispone di bagno privato, pavimenti in cotto ed ingresso indipendente. La prima colazione a buffet comprende caffè, cappuccino, prodotti da forno freschi dolci e salati. In stanza potrete usufruire della connessione WiFi gratuita. La struttura si trova a 300 metri dalla Cattedrale di Matera, a 100 dal corso principale. La zona inoltre è servita dai migliori ristoranti della città. Corte San Leonardo sarà lieto di organizzare un servizio navetta da e per l'Aeroporto di Bari Palese, che dista 1 ora di guida. Potrete beneficiare di tariffe scontate in un parcheggio nelle vicinanze.
Lo sport mi ha portato in giro per il mondo e questo mi ha permesso di allargare gli orizzonti, senza preconcetti. E' grazie alla pallavolo che ho conosciuto Matera ed in particolare i Sassi, una città magica dall'energia fortissima, dove ho voluto la mia prima casa. Corte San Leonardo racconta di me, della mia passione per gli oggetti ritrovati, l'arredo d'interni e l'allestimento di eventi speciali. La casa rappresenta per me, il luogo in cui amo ritornare la sera dopo una giornata di lavoro, una sorta di "buen ritiro" dove ricarico le pile e dove il mio corpo e la mia anima, trovano relax. Questo è quello che vorrei trasmettere agli ospiti di Corte San Leonardo: un "viaggio nel viaggio" attraverso tessuti, colori e dettagli inusuali per un alloggio turistico. Fatemi sapere se anche voi come me, avete sentito il "rumore del silenzio" di questa casa e se siete stati bene... Un vostro suggerimento sincero ci permetterà di migliorare i nostri servizi. Buona vacanza!
La storia dei Sassi di Matera ha lontane origini testimoniate da reperti archeologici custoditi nel Museo Nazionale Domenico Ridola 7 (a 1 minuto da Corte San Leonardo), che risalgono al Paleolitico inferiore-medio. Corte San Leonardo domina il Sasso Caveoso grazie ad una posizione invidiabile che permette agli ospiti di vedere, da un lato la Murgia, protetta dal Parco Regionale Archeologico Storico Naturale delle Chiese Rupestri, più semplicemente detto Parco della Murgia Materana e dall'altro, gli antichi rioni chiamati "Sassi". Vico San Leonardo, oltre ad essere indicato come percorso turistico sulle cartine dell'APT, è la zona maggiormente servita da ristoranti tipici, trattorie e locali "after dinner". Provare per credere!
