Le Origini

We stayed at this B&B for three nights based on the reviews here. The stay corresponded with my wife’s birthday so we took the nicest room which was located in an adjoining building and was large and very cave-like. It had a balcony overlooking the gorge and a huge jacuzzi Bath in the main room. Very impressive! Breakfast was taken in the main building and was delicious consisting of a wide range of local dishes. I asked for poached eggs and although I don’t think the cook had much experience she was an expert by the end of the three days - great effort! Parking is away from the b&b and we managed to get into the reserved open air car park on arrival. It was agreed that a space would be reserved for me as we were out exploring every day and I was concerned that the car park was full when we returned in day two. Not an issue! Aside from the open air car park, Origini also own the very large locked garage next door so parking should never be an issue (a valuable commodity in Matera!) I also had chance to view the owners lovely old classic Fiat 500. Don’t forget to drive it!!! All in all an excellent stay. Stunning accommodation, well located with friendly staff and tasty breakfast. The views are spectacular too. As we were leaving the team gave my wife a charming little birthday gift too!

We stayed at this small hotel in Matera, which despite being small has all the necessary amenities. One of the advantages is that it is located close to the road, which avoids long walks with luggage through the ups and downs of the small town (which are many, believe me) since car traffic is very restricted. It is worth noting the kindness and availability of Salvério, the manager, with tips on tours and meals in the town! I didn't give it the highest rating because the pillows weren't as comfortable as everything else (a minor detail, as I said before). I recommend it!

Perfect location to explore Matera. The hotel sits immediately outside of Matera and is a few steps away from being able to explore the city. There is parking which is very convenient. The rooms are very nice, clean, quiet and renovated. The showers are great too.

Amazing location, with the best view in Matera. This is elegant and chic B and B with the warmest welcome and the friendliest and unbelievably accommodating staff. Saverio and Anna run a super family business they are passionate about excellent service and their staff are all excellent. Special thanks to Antonia who could not have been more friendly and helpful. The home made food is delicious and nothing is too much trouble at all for the staff. We would give six stars if we could !

We loved this Matera hotel! In fact, it was one of our favorites of our 10 day trip in Puglia. The location is perfect, an easy walk into the center of town and to many great restaurants. Amazing views from our room. The staff was very friendly and helped us with big suitcases. Parking is super easy and not far from the hotel. The room is very elegantly styled, and I especially liked the modern bathroom. The only thing missing is soundproof windows. The breakfast was fabulous, with a great assortment of fresh fruit and homemade cakes. I definitely recommend this hotel for your trip to Matera!

Beautiful family owned & run hotel just outside Sassi with amazing views from Panoramic view room. Private, secured parking 1 min walk from hotel. Easy walk around Sassi and access to hiking. Anna, Saverio and staff were amazing. Always greeting you with a smile and checking in daily to make sure you had dinner reservations or needed recommendations for your stay. Best homemade breakfast during our entire 2 week stay in Italy. Highly recommend!!
