Especially charming, especially special
This friendly, immaculately clean hotel was one of the best in which we’ve ever stayed. Gianvito is a wonderful, helpful host who helped us check in (it’s tricky to get to), and gave us a superb orientation that allowed us to maximize our (sadly short) time in Matera. The town itself is of course amazing, and Alle Malve is in a perfect location for exploring it.

Fantastic in every way
This is a fantastic B&B, right in the middle of the Sasso in Matera. The owner is extremely helpful, friendly and informative, and has made a fantastic job of converting this traditional property to a very high standard. Breakfast was very nice, with a selection fresh meat, cheese, croissants and home made jams. Our room, in a self-contained building next to the main house, was superb, with a balcony to sit out on to enjoy the amazing atmosphere of this wonderful town. The owner has plans to provide further rooms and a spa. If you intend coming to this amazing old town, stay here right in the middle of it and soak up the history. One of the best stays we have had.

wonderful cave dwellings
Matera is a very surprising place and for good reason it will be Cultural Capital of Europe in 2019. The B&B is in the heart of the old sassi area of cave dwellings and has kept its original appearance, but with all modern amenities. The owner is very enthusiastic and did his best to make sure we would see all worthwhile places. The breakfast was not on a par with the other services and should be improved.
