Proximidade do centro histórico de Matera
Pros:

Como eu estava de carro e procurava local com estacionamento seguro e a uma distância razoável para conhecer Matera a pé, achei o local perfeito. As acomodações são boas, bem charmoso numa antiga vila, pudemos entrar no quarto antes fo horário o que foi perfeito e o café da manhã também é bom numa sala muito agradável.

Cons:

Gostei de tudo.

Parfait pour être au calme et visiter la ville si on aime marcher
Pros:

Petits déjeunés simple mais corrects . Grande chambre avec une immense terrasse ( il ne doit y avoir qu'une chambre comme celle la !) . L'emplacement est au calme il faut donc rejoindre le centre ville à pied : 20 min (attention ça descend et donc il faut remonter ... )

Cons:

La piscine était fermée en Septembre

Sehr gute Lage fußläufig zur Altstadt
Pros:

Sehr gute, ruhige Lage fußläufig zum historischen Zentrum. Eigener Parkplatz. Zimmer klein, aber für zwei Nächte OK. Mit kleinem Kühlschrank und Schrank. Sehr gutes Erscheinungsbild. Bad / WC sehr gut, vor nicht allzu langer Zeit modernisiert. Freundliches Team. Gutes WLAN. Aufzug im Gebäude zum 1. OG. Kostenloser Wasserspender im Erdgeschoss. Freundliches Team.

Cons:

Der Pool war Anfang Oktober trotz bestem Wetter schon außer Betrieb. Dies war bei der Buchung nicht kommuniziert. Recht harte Matratzen.

A lovely B&B!
Pros:

The location feels private but it is a 10 minute walk from town. The staff is very friendly and they all speak two or more languages. We enjoyed the breakfast a lot. I highly recommend staying here!

Cons:

The pool is only half full and the water is green. This is a perfect breeding opportunity for mosquitoes ☹️

Gutes Mittelklassehotel in Matera
Pros:

Das Zentrum von Matera ist vom Hotel aus gut zu Fuss erreichbar. Das Zimmer war schön und das Frühstück gut. Zudem war das Personal freundlich und man konnte direkt vor dem Hotel gratis parkieren.

Cons:

Jetzt im Oktober wurde es nachts ohne Heizung etwas kalt im Zimmer. Zudem war das Bett eher zu hart.
