We loved this place. It was quiet, off the beaten path and had all that we needed. Italy is becoming so crowded it is so nice to come to a place that can be used as a base to see Matera for example, and find your home base in a picturesque environment. The restaurant serves incredible meals. There is a lot to do around there as well. There is a castle to visit and hike to find waterfalls. This place is a gem.

The location was in a very isolated but incredible area of Monticchio, the place had the cutest 5 dogs which made it feel like home. The staff was incredible, she was sweet, clear and very concerned for everything to workout for us as we expected.

That we could´nt stay longer.

The animals were very cute, beautiful location. Good breakfast options, also catered for the gluten free guests.

Small rooms, small shower and most of the staff we met did not speak english. Everyone was very nice and those who did speak english were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Omg just stop your research and book this place ASAP. The location is a-m-a-z-i-n-g and the host/staff + restaurant are exquisite. Full stop. Ok, you are still reading... So, food-wise: we ate there basically all the time, although it was not our plan, but it was sooo gooood that honestly, it was pointless to go somewhere else. The food is super fresh, literally from the surrounding of the B&B. Breakfast is prepared directly at YOUR table, not some cheap buffet! Keep in mind that the restaurant is so requested that it is better to warn the staff that you wish to eat lunch/dinner. Nonetheless, we didn't have to raise any noise complaints, and our room was directly on top of the restaurant. Room-wise: it is lovely, vintage-retro style with great photos of the B&B in the former times (I guess 1950-70). New AC, silent and clean. The bathroom was nice and well equipped, plus good water pressure. Outside of the B&B you are immersed in nature, there are numerous farm animals (emus, donkeys, turkeys, doggos, cattos, chickens, ducks and roosters), but no unpleasant smells or noises. Parking space is available behind the B&B; although is spacious, keep in mind that it gets packed during lunch/dinner. If you are still reading and you are not booking this place, I'm so sorry for you ;P

This agriturismo is great to experience rural Italy. We enjoyed walking and relaxing. The owner is so helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. The food is delicious and the area is quiet and peaceful.

Excellent location on the countryside and still close to main attractions St. Michael Monestry and Melfi. They made the best pizzas we got on our trip to Italy.

Hosts Stefanio (English-speaking) and Antonio were extremely welcoming. Breakfast was great and the specially prepared vegan(!) dinners in the downstairs restaurant were delicious. Local families filled the restaurant and lingered on the grounds on Sundays. Sweet dogs greeted us and Antonio's other truffle dogs ensure truffles when in season.

I didn't plan a long enough stay. Next time I will stay longer. The location is rural and requires an automobile for access.

Our stay at "Agriturismo il Riccio" was perfect. The staff is great, friendly and kind and they are amazing with children. The rooms are very comfy and the view is outstanding. the place is extremely clean. The food is simply perfect, and they have GF options which is not easy to find everywhere. We will come back for sure. thank you for everything!

Perfect location, a very quiet and beautifull place. Very welcoming and friendly service. The restaurant serves very tasty local food. Definately worth a visit.

Its just perfect
