Tina, the host, welcomed us, at the door. She is one of the most amazing people we have met. Her cookies, and all the little extra goodies, were a lovely touch. The house, in the heart of Matera, was spotless and we felt like we were in our little castle. Tina was extremely helpful. We will sure return.

What not to like? A real, beautiful, well-located grotto experience in the heart of Matera’s historic old town. The accommodation is beyond stunning, both inside and outside. Our stay in Matera was full of zen, magic, love, and beauty. Also Tina, the host, was most gracious and generous. She filled the house with fresh traditional cookies, focaccia, cake, and much more. It felt like we arrived at grandma’s:) We will be recommending to friends and family to stay here whenever they visit Matera.

Tina is an exceptional host. From her warm welcome, including explanations of how everything worked, help with a taxi to and from the bus station and for a half day visit to Alberobello, to a local guide, were all part of the package she provided. The location of Il Tempo Retrivato, a cave apartment, beautifully renovated with everything you need, is outstanding! Easy walking distance to the historic centre, dining options and location, location, location.

A beautiful cave apartment in a great location. Tina our host kept in touch on our journey to help guide us & were warmly welcomed by her to a gorgeous apartment with great facility's, very clean & spacious. Tina went through places to see & visit with maps & information, we were also supplied with some lovely breakfast supplies.

A beautiful and atmospheric property in a beautiful and atmospheric town. We fell in love with both and really appreciated the many finishing touches and details that made our stay perfect, the comfortable and beautifully renovated authentic sassi property, gorgeous linen, comfortable beds and thoughtful extras such as complimentary snacks and breakfast. The location was perfect, the hosts welcoming and kind. I could not recommend this stay more. The renovated original bathroom space is a delight.

Beautiful cave apartment in one of the nicest parts of town right under the Church of Saint Mary of Idris. Plenty of restaurants close by and splendid views just around the corner. The host was very attentive and provided us with food and drinks for breakfast. Secure parking is about 500m away in the new part of town, so be prepared to walk a bit with a suitcase, but this is a small price to pay and you only need to do it twice. We especially liked the private space in front of the apartment with table and chairs, where you can have breakfast or read till late in the night. Tourists will think you are a local and envy you for it 🙂
