“Location good, enjoyed the stay but certain aspects re facilities need to be highlighted.”
+B'fast not applicable. Location good, once we found it.
−Not suitable for elderly guests. Bathroom downstairs. Access to stairs needs a rail. The old town was closed on the day we left but no prior notification from host. Had to get third party to facilitate transport to bus station, at very short notice.

“MAGICAL MATERA STAY!!”
+SIMPLY AMAZING! I can’t say enough good things about our 5 night stay here. I can say magical, awesome, incredible, wonderful and on and on. Maria Cristina was a great host. So responsive. She leaves you housemade marmalade as a welcome gift. The house was perfect. Comfortable and made you feel like it was YOUR home!! Location in the Sassi made it walkable everywhere! Loved our outdoor patio. We ate out there each morning. Kitchen was excellent to cook in. Bathroom lovely with nice towels and hot water. Our bed up in the loft was so comfortable. And plenty of room for yoga in the large living room. We are 69 & 74 and had NO problems walking from the downtown bus station (it takes about 30 minutes) and handling the stairs. Hey if you are going to visit an old historic town, you need to be able to on foot.

“Incredible, was a really positive experience and would highly recommend staying in Casa Petra.”
+The location was amazing - it was in the perfect position to be immersed in the Sassi part of Matera - the view was incredible. The Apartment was really big and beautifully decorated. I don't think the pictures did it justice! Lovely rugs and a general great feel to the space, would highly recommend staying there. Also, the kitchen was very well equipped if you like to cook! Maria was a very helpful, friendly and communicative host.

“Great location and nice space!”
+We spend 3 nights at Casa Petra in may 2025. Location was great. It was well stocked with everything we needed and owner was very accommodating with early check in. Bed was very company and CD collection was awesome. I would nightly recommend.
−The outdoor space was not usable. Needs new chairs and table as they are rusty. Plants and area needs some cleaning up. Shower is a bit small if you a larger person.
