Il Risveglio nei Sassi

Location of this apartment is excellent, we can walk around at Matera old town easily; Savio was super friendly, he offered to pick up us and he also dropped us on the day we checked out; this apartment is very big and owner provided everything we need for breakfast, his kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, mugs, glasses and he even provided salt, pepper, olive oil, which allowed us to make simple meals; we hope to be back soon!

Exceptional Stay and Host From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary hotel stay. The owner truly went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcomed, comfortable, and completely taken care of at his place and that we knew how everything worked. It honestly felt like staying with a gracious friend who had thought of everything. If you happened to forget anything at home, chances are it was already waiting for you here. What truly set this experience apart, though, was that he personally took us to all of the most picturesque spots in town and even to the stunning viewpoints across from the city. Every stop felt carefully chosen, offering postcard-perfect views and perspectives we never would have found on our own. We liked this place and the host so much that we actually came back with a second set of family a couple of weeks later. We originally came in mid-December with my elderly mother and some cousins. Savio, our host, was so kind and generous with ensuring that my mom was comfortable and could see everything in the town that he took us on a private tour. The host provided breakfast items that ranged from some pastries to yogurt, as well as coffee and tea. We were all able to find something in order to start the day. This stay combined warmth, generosity, comfort, and unforgettable cultural experiences was amazing. It’s rare to find a place where hospitality feels this personal and sincere. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend it enthusiastically to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay filled with kindness, history, and unforgettable memories.

Everything about this property was amazing!! The location was perfect, and the house had everything we could possibly want or need, and more! Savio made our stay magical. He is obviously passionate about what he does, and it shows. He shared many amazing places with us, and he made sure we had absolutely everything we needed during our stay! He made us feel like we were visiting family, and we will never forget our visit to Matera and his hospitality.

The property was perfect.

Great location & unique experience staying in the Sassi. We could not have asked for a better host; Savio was helpful and generous with his time, taking us on tours of the area.
