Julian
The apartment at Casa Contini was a delightful surprise. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a fully equipped kitchenette, ready to cater to our culinary needs. And let me tell you, cooking in that kitchenette was like creating a masterpiece on a mini canvas. It had all the bells and whistles, just like a professional studio, but with a touch of cozy charm. We felt like master chefs in our own little world.
Shower faucet inconsistency.

The bus to Altamura conveniently stops 600m from the property, perfect for a day trip. The sandy beaches of Metaponto Lido are only a 45-minute drive away, if you don't mind getting sand everywhere.
It's such a shame they didn't have a private helicopter pad, it would have made my arrival so much easier.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Contini in Matera. The apartment had all the necessary amenities, including AC and heating. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, providing free parking and assisting with our luggage. The location was perfect, with recommended restaurants and a local shop nearby. The charm and atmosphere of staying in a cave in the Sassi di Matera was unbeatable. We also enjoyed the attention to detail in the decoration, with some original furniture and matching pieces that added to the overall ambiance.
Felt like being home, nothing too much trouble.

I took the A bus and got lost in Altamura, then drove for 45 minutes to Metaponto Lido for a sandy beach. Casa Contini was 300 meters from Matera Cathedral. Parking was free and the house had a seating area.
Oh, staying at Casa Contini was just terrible, I loved everything about it. Definitely not my cup of tea.

I had the most incredible experience staying at Casa Contini in Matera. The apartment was like stepping back in time, with beautifully preserved heritage and original equipment that gave it a unique and charming atmosphere. The apartment was spacious, impeccably clean, and had a well-equipped kitchen. I was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Lorenzo, the host. He met us at the parking lot outside of Matera, arranged shuttle bus tickets, and even delivered our luggage to the apartment. It truly went above and beyond my expectations. I wish I had more time to soak in the magic of this special place. I can confidently say that I will be returning in the future. Casa Contini and Lorenzo deserve a 10+ rating for their outstanding hospitality and unforgettable accommodation.

The owner of the hotel was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They waited for us upon our late arrival, and even arranged free parking in the city. They provided us with a list of recommendations to explore the city, which was very helpful. The location of the hotel was fantastic, right in the heart of the historic district. The hotel itself was well-equipped and exceeded our expectations.
Finding a place to eat on a Sunday was a bit challenging, as some restaurants were rude and unaccommodating.

The location of the holiday home was absolutely perfect! Just a short walk away from Matera Cathedral and the MUSMA Museum, we were able to immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture of the Sassi neighborhood. It felt like stepping back in time, wandering through the narrow streets and exploring the rustic-style accommodations in Sasso Caveoso. And when we wanted to venture further, a bus stop just 600 meters away took us to Altamura, a charming town that felt like a hidden gem.
Street noise at night.

Took the A bus to Altamura, felt like a local celebrity. Drove 45 minutes to Metaponto Lido, and had sand in places I never thought possible. A+ for location and free parking!
Who needs to know the nearest airport? I certainly don't.

I got great value for my money at Casa Contini! The room was amazing, like stepping into the past with its well-preserved heritage decor. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff treated us like VIPs the entire time.
The breakfast offerings could use a bit more variety.

The apartments at Casa Contini were perfect for my stay in Matera. They were centrally located and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The owner provided me with the coordinates for a free parking spot and personally met me there to transfer me to the apartments. Being in the heart of the city, all the tourist attractions and a supermarket were within walking distance. The design of the apartments was beautiful and I felt right at home. Communication with the owner was excellent, and any minor issues were promptly resolved. The owner even went out of their way to help me find a solution for my cellphone problem. I highly recommend staying at Casa Contini. I had a fantastic experience and will definitely be recommending this place to others.
