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.

Site constava estacionamento. Não havia. Check in horrível, não entrou em contato e faltando 12 min para entrarmos e depois de inúmeras tentativas nossas, a anfitriã apenas comentou que a entrada era daqui a 12 min…. E nós insistimos para passar as documentos… só chegando no local que fomos buscar estacionamento tô é nos localizar..

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.

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。

No site diz que tinha estacionamento no hotel e também na rua do hotel, porém não caia nessa, a rua tem ZTL, se entrar multa na certa. 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 .

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.

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.

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
