I was looking at several different options, and we decided to just walk down to this place. Glad we did!

What a nice hotel!

It just happens to be off, unbeaten path in Matera.

There’s not a lot around the hotel in the way of shops or restaurants.

But the hotel itself offers at one stop shop with the restaurant. We have a wonderful dinner downstairs with our tour group. An enjoyed an amazing breakfast before we departed for Naples.

Definitely looked over all the different options that they had. To my surprise, several the menu options, or an English, or easily to translate.

There was a nice Canadian couple that came over and chatted with us. It was there 3rd time there. They had nothing but great things to offer.

Our server went above and beyond to try and ensure that we have the best possible experience. Even with the language barrier and our additional request she was able to get exactly what we wanted. I was impressed by how good her English was as that is something that is less common the farther south you go in Italy. She later in the evening and let us know that she’s been to England several times. I wish I would’ve caught her name, but thank you.

The fresh pasta was made to perfection.
