Matera as a holiday destination

Matera as a holiday destination

We walked around town and found several new streets. There was of course some tourists shops who sold junk, but also handmade ceramics. There's a map made by a swede, and have had exciting races earlier. So I had a couple of small controllers and made a fun track for my daughter.
Recommended to walk along the pathway down to the cleft and up to the caves on the other side.

Very fine and cosy rooms and a bit special to stay in "a cave". We also went to the pool under-ground and it was a fantastic experience.

Beautiful old city, and if you have the option, the go down the small path, cross the suspension bridge to the other site of the "river". Very beautiful to see the city from this angle as well.

Fully lived up to our expectations. Interesting hotel.

Really good breakfast in cozy surroundings, there was even a pianist.

Wonderful and different SPA. We only have positive things to say.

It was pretty difficult to find the hotel. In the driving instructions it said that you could drive to the hotel. Wasn't quite true, seen as there was some roadwork at the end of the street. Oh well. At the reception we were given an exemplary welcome. We could either borrow a wagon and drive our luggage to the hotel, or the hotel could arrange for someone to pick it up for us. The hotel also offered parking in a garage against pay. Worth every euro.
The room was fantastic with beautiful surroundings and good storage. The view looked like it was something out of a postcard, magical.
Very skilled, English speaking staff, who helped us find out what we would see, where we should eat, and what we should do. Super professional.
We booked ourselves into a spa, which was an experience - real and very unique.
Breakfast was, by Italian standards, the high of class in atmospheric rooms. To further better the mood, a pianist sat in the room and played, which really made the whole experiencer a lot better.
The town of Matera is worth a visit, we were there one day, during peak summer and it felt perfect.

Recommendations for future guests

Go there, if you have a car, book a garage (is done at the place)
