Reviews of Il Sasso e la Seta

Everything: from the location to the style of the apartment. It has it all and Luciana will go beyond to make your staying unforgettable. Silent, spacious, fully accessorised, has an heartwarming atmosfere; it's at the fringe of the most beautiful part of the sasso caveoso, and it's close to all of the vibrant little spots for aperitivo and dinner, as well as shopping opportunities and monuments visits. One of my ever fav accommodations.

Upon arrival we received a very cordial welcome by Luciana as we were friends. She gave us an introduction to Old Matera and recommended various walking tours in the Centro Storico. The room and its bathroom were very spacious. The view from the little terrace in front of the room on Old Matera was outstanding. Morning breakfast was varied and lovingly prepared.

Luciana was a warm and gracious host. She made GF bread for my partner and excellent breakfasts with fresh ricotta and marmalade. She was very helpful with tourist info. Very accommodating.

The location was excellent - relatively close to a parking station and right in the middle of the action. The room and bathroom were both of s good size, comfortable bed with extra pillows and a fabulous home made breakfast every morning. The host Massimo was always smiling, very keen to provide assistance and responded quickly to any requests.

We were a little disappointed in the old and rickety outdoor furniture on the tiny balcony with a planter box of dead weeds and also that the room didn't have some basics like a wine opener or wine glasses, coffee mugs (despite a kettle), no water provided etc. We were not able to access the internet either which was very inconvenient.

Luciana was so sweet. The view was amazing.

The water pressure

Outstanding, our host Luciana could not have done more for us. Breakfast, fantastic.

The location is wonderful right in the middle of the Sassi with a view. We walked everywhere easily. The room was clean and comfortable with a fridge, washing machine and spacious bathroom. What really makes this place is the warmth and generosity of the host Luciana. She went out of her way to make our stay special from before we arrived to the last morning's conversation over her sensational breakfast. For us she embodied the spirit of Matera.

Luciana was a delight. We appreciate her efforts to provide a comfortable stay and give us insight as to what there is to see & do in the old town. Our room was quite comfortable, breakfast was more than we could eat. We will be back.

Getting our bags from parking to her house was challenging because you have to walk on cobbled streets/sidewalks. Her house is in the historic zone, so no cars. But honestly, it is worth it for the location.

The fantastic room was wonderful, as well as a balcony with our table and chairs. We were with a couple and a friend with her daughter. The beds were super, the bathroom was beautiful and large, and viewing the situation was incredible. Each breakfast was delicious and Luciana was delightful!

My daughter and I had a lovely stay here for two nights! The room is very lovely and a spacious size, as well as the bathroom. The bed is comfortable and such a treat to have a duvet! A perfect location to explore Matera. Above all else, Luciana is the warmest host and we felt very welcome. We loved our delicious breakfasts on the patio. Grazie millie Luciana for your wonderful and warm hospitality!!!

Location, knowledge of hostess, cleanliness, breakfast.

Wi-Fi was on and off

This was the most beautiful accommodation in a wonderful town. Luciana is the perfect host - so friendly and welcoming. Provided lots of information when we arrived on where to go and what to see. Luciana’s breakfast was amazing, prepared with love and delivered to the room. The view from the room and balcony is just amazing - perfect spot to start the day with breakfast and even more stunning in the late afternoon and early evening. I could have sat there all day! Room extremely comfortable and a great shower.

Nothing to dislike - it was perfect!

The breakfast brought by the host each morning was excellent. Kept me going for the whole day, really. The location in the middle of the oldest parts of Matera was excellent. Very quiet area, obviously no car traffic nearby. Very friendly host. Warm water supply was good.

Can't think of anything that should be improved really. It was as described, even better.

Luciana is an amazing host. She’s friendly and careful, plus she prepares AMAZING breakfasts. The room was cozy, located in a perfect position with such a beautiful view. Recommended: thanks Luciana for your tips and your kindness!

Tips for the host: it would’ve been 11/10 with a television and a coffee machine :)

Il Sasso e la Seta is in a great location, with an expansive view of the neighborhood. In the early morning it is pure joy to just sit in the open doorway, bask in the sunshine, and listen to church bells and birds and feel the town come to life. The breakfasts (as frequently noted in many, many reviews!) are splendid -- made with love in a bountiful array of savory and sweet. The room is very comfortable and feels like a friend's home, with thoughtful touches of original art. Superb!

That I booked only a two-night stay! It was very hard to leave such a wonderful place!

So much to love about this place! From the superb location, amazing way to absorb the location through having yummy breakfast on the balcony every morning to exceptional staff Luciana who even prepared a take away breakfast on the last day due to our early check out!

Everything was excellent!

Perfect location, spectacular view, spacious, cleaned and super super helpful host

All met our expectations

This was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed! Very cute room. Facilities are perfect, location is perfect, Luciana is very friendly and super helpful.

Nothing to dislike.

Luciana could not have done more to make our stay ultra enjoyable. She is a delightful, lively person. Our room had real character; the air-conditioning worked very well - it was very hot outside; lovely shower room.

Access is quite difficult if you have mobility issues - but this is Matera!

That was unbelievable. Luciana is a great host, the room was wonderful and you can easily see, that Luciana made everything with love. The view is amazing and it's not just that you can walk to the nice places at the Sassi, you're right in the middle of it. Thank you, dear Luciana, for the recommendations, the lovely welcome and the great breakfast! Really made this a special part of our holidays.
