Il Carrubo residenza Walk&Stay

Very well located, clean and fantastic host.

We absolutely loved staying here! Such a kind and very helpful host. Wonderful location, affordable with great facilities and easy walking distance to all the sights of Matera. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Great location in Matera. Nice breakfast with beautiful view on the valley. Please keep in mind that the location is not available by car. You have to take a bus or walk.

No wifi is a minus.

Simple and beautiful room. A gracious and informative host. A uniquely beautiful location. Good bread.

The location is at the bottom of the sassi, very close to the Tibetan bridge and in front of the gorge. Just opposite is a stop for the shuttle van which starts from the parking in the city centre, which we found very convenient. The room is very quiet and they offer a delicious and filling breakfast.

I found the description of the room on booking.com rather misleading. It states that 'the twin/double room features a private entrance, a dining area, a terrace with city views as well as a private bathroom boasting a shower.' From the photos one would think that the glass door close to the bed leads to a terrace, but we were told that the door is only opened by staff for cleaning. So it is important to note that the views mentioned in the room description are only accessible from the courtyard outside, which is common for the adjacent rooms. I suppose that the dining area mentioned is the breakfast area, as there was no dining area in the room. There was no space for it anyway as the room is very small.

Great location, within walking distance from where we parked the car, close to restaurants, and with a great view from the front door. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was also great, with savory options as well, which is not all that common in Italy. Would definitely stay there again.

This place is enchanting! Absolutely stunning views from the terrace, lovely, quirky and quaint "cave" suite with modern facilities tastefully fitted in to the carved out rock structure. Plenty of choice for breakfast, with the fruit picked straight off the trees on the terrace and a very sweet owner. You can't drive up to the entrance because it's up a steep staircase of a path but there is parking and a bus stop just at the bottom so no problem.

It wasn't a problem for us because I was delighted to practise my (terrible) Italian but the owner doesn't speak any English and nothing is translated. Also, Matera has mosquitos so bring bug spray - we were bitten to death!

It was quiet, comfortable, with delicious breakfast on lovely terrace with views over beautiful Matera.

Lovely accommodation in the old part of Matera. Lovely breakfast provided, which is a great start to the day. Perfect location for sightseeing. Information provided on the day with directions on how to get there and check in.

The location was perfect and close to all attractions. It was a calm area. The room itself was very clean and well furnitured. The Breakfast was very tasty. The Host was super kind and helpful

Everything was a great and different experience.the Il carrubo, is situated in the center of Matera .it is at a short distance from everything you want to see and walk, in this lovely town.When you arrive, it is easy to find the place due to the good and fully detailed directions which we were given.the breakfast was really nice.italian!!Gianni, the one in charge, was very helpful,polite, full of joy, and always there to surve and help the customers and give to us all, information about the city the history ,as well as the things to do in this amazing place, Matera!!!

The location was excellent, the service and the room.

Room was a bit small

Really interesting property on a 20th century road around the sassi. Room very spacious. Gianni, the host, is a passionate lifelong Matera resident and leads walks through the town and local area.

Communication wasn’t always the easiest, and wifi is very poor, for those concerned by this. There was a lot of noisy building work outside so not very peaceful. This party is no reflection on the property at all, but purely to pass on my experience; public transport on and out of Matera is rather difficult. Take extreme caution with the Freccia link bus, as basically nobody in the town knows where to catch this!

Spending a night in this room is like another adventure. It is situated in a very very quiet area.

The location is quite far from Sassi di Matera, hence it took us quite a walk to reach up. However, the old town of Matera is magical, especially where the hotel is.

Location- a cross between cave and apartment - very close to Tibetan bridge. Breakfast was good. Excellent self checkIn information given

2nd room and shower in same room. There is a note that they provide bicycle rental at extra cost- when asked about it, this service was not available

All was good. Gianni was an excellent host. We learnt a lot about Matera through his profound knowledge and love of the place. Thank you, Gianni!P.s: we stayed 3 nights, the bare minimum to visit this wonderful place.

Good location, comfortable and clean. Nice views and easy access to bus. Host helped as much as anyone could ask for.

Would have liked a kettle and a microwave.

Amazing place to stay in the Sassi!!! I recommend this 100% and if I return to the Sassi, which I hope to do, I will stay here again. Gianni is so kind as well as the other staff and the other visitors.

The host was amazing. Gianni is passionate and knowledgable about Matera's history and nature. He grew up there and is deeply connected to the place. He is also a guide in the national park. So much fascinating information that really deepened our experience.

Perfect location close to every thing sassi bus took us direct to our accommodation

Would have been nice to have coffee and tea facilities otherwise perfect
