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!

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!

Is Sasso e la Seta is 10++. It is in an amazing location in the old Matera. The views were spectacular. The room was delightful. But the gem is the hostess Luciana. From our first meaning after being lost in the city (google map was having a moment!) to her wonderful insight of her beloved town and her tour suggestions, restaurant suggestions (Keiv was one of our best meals on a 18 day trip) and her breakfasts! Perfection! Especially her home made marmalade. We so enjoyed our visits with her at breakfast. She is a fascinating woman with a heart of gold. Your stay here will be a highlight of your trip!

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!!!

Luciana is an amazing host, so warm and welcoming. The location was amazing, at the foot of the church built into the rock cliffs. It was even more beautiful in the evening. We were close to most of the main attractions. We had fun at the Bar across the street with a live jazz band one night, including some of Luciana's lovely neighbors. Our breakfast was outstanding, including freshly made focaccia bread among other delicious foods.

The parking was in the city, extremely difficult to find. We parked at a different garage and barely made it in with our mid-size rental. Not for the faint of heart. And it was hard to find Il Sasso, took us over 30 minutes. It is quite the hike with a suitcase thru cobblestsone streets and then up a few different sets of steps. But once we got there it was worth the trip.

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.

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!

Nothing.

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.

Nothing.

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 :)

Luciana's B&B was exceptional. Everything in our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast every morning on the terrace was delicious and fresh. The location was perfect for seeing this amazing historical town. The view from our room was beautiful. Luciana was also very helpful with booking taxis and helping with a transport problem we had, her recommendations for where to dine were exceptional meals. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting amazing Matera
