All was good. Gianni was an excellent host. We learnt a lot about Matera through his profound knowledge and love of the place. Thank you, Gianni! P.s: we stayed 3 nights, the bare minimum to visit this wonderful place.

The host was amazing. Gianni is passionate and knowledgable about Matera's history and nature. He grew up there and is deeply connected to the place. He is also a guide in the national park. So much fascinating information that really deepened our experience.

We loved everything about Il Carrubo. Being in this amazing accommodation is something truly special. The owners were great and very quick to respond to messages and give really clear instructions pre arrival. They also served an amazing breakfast each morning.

The room is situated within a large rock. The location is in the Sassi. People with walking disability may have a hard time with the steps needed to climb to reach the office and rooms. The owner, Johnnie spoke very little English but he was very kind to pick us up outside the Sassi since our driver couldn’t get us there.

Nestled at the very top of Matera, you'll find the Il Carrubo residenza Walk&Stay B&B. It's important to note that you can't drive directly to the B&B with your own car. However, there's a parking garage just a 15-minute walk away, making it convenient to stroll through Matera to reach the B&B. A word of caution: the tiles can be quite slippery. While sneakers manage well, leather sandals can be a bit treacherous. The room itself was beautifully designed, with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. The breakfast was simple yet delicious. Above all, the hospitality upon arrival was truly warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for a genuine Matera experience!

The owner and staff shared with us their vast knowledge and passion for the culture and history of Sassi di Matera as well their personal connections to the region which was very moving. The space is very located, quiet, comfortable, clean and easily accessible by bus. The recommended for parking was also helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!!

Great location. You could get around the old city on foot to all of the popular locations but still be in place that is quite enough for a peaceful nights sleep. Gianni and Angela were wonderful hosts. Angela kept up-to-with our arrival on a heavily delayed train which got us in very late. Couldn’t wish for more!

Such a beautiful labour of love! The room was superbly presented - authentic caveso with modern comforts so sensitively achieved. Location was exceptional as were Gianni and his fabulous receptionist and breakfast host extraordinaire, Angela. She answered sooo many of our questions. I would happily return to this incredible property.
