    I think this property was the highlight of our trip, very cool and well designed "cave" dwelling. Simona and Antonio were delights to deal with. We wouldn't hesitate enough to recommend this place to anyone.

    Ideally located in the middle of Matera. A traditional 'cave dwelling' room. Excellent for a short stay. Excellent shower room.

    Great location in the Sasso Barisano. Amazing to stay in a 'cave room.' Simona was very friendly and helpful. Gave us a guide with map and made recommendations on where to visit, including going to the other side of the gorge the morning we left...
