The property is located in a noble palace of the late 1800, 50 meters from Sassi and 400 meters from the principal square of Matera ( Vittorio Veneto square ). Il Nicchio preserved the original walls, during the restoration, and you can admire the vaulted ceiling in tuff. It is composed by an open space, equipped by a kitchen with induction cooker, refrigerator; you will find a table, a double sofa bed and a flat screen tv with a satellite decoder. Wifi available and air conditioning in whole flat. A double room with bathroom (wc, bidet, sink and crystal shower). We do not accept Animals and bikes in the house. Extra service: personal chef on request ( not included in the price ) by our Chef Francesco (graduated at Alma Cooking School of Gualtiero Marchesi, work experiences in Michelin Italian and Japanese restaurants in Italy, and in the Caribbean )
Hospitality is the relationship we have between our clients, different people who meets each other on the same path. Our team speaks English, French, Spanish and Italian and we will try to guarantee your maximum satisfaction.
