    We stayed in a charming historic sassi with a garden entrance and a cave bedroom. the host provided ample toiletries, a stocked kitchen, and even fresh cakes and bread. the location was perfect for exploring the old town, with great restaurants nearby. A truly authentic and comfortable experience.

    Felt amazing, couldn't ask for more.

    The room was welcoming and cool with lovely views, a washing machine, for instance, could leave my car nearby. The hotel was in the central setting right in the heart of the old town. The staff was super - I would come here again...

    We stayed at Il Geco for a few nights during our trip to Matera. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Sasso Caveoso. The hosts, Michele and Daniele, were amazing - friendly, helpful, and attentive. The apartment was beautifully renovated and well-equipped, and the kitchen was fully stocked. The hospitality was outstanding, with a warm welcome from Michele and even a treat from the local bakery. a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations.

    Recommend this hotel.

    We had a wonderful Xmas at this hotel. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of the historic center. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and even picked us up from the station. The apartment had all the amenities we needed, including a fully stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. The little touches like fresh flowers and snacks made us feel right at home.

    While the hosts made an effort to create a cozy atmosphere, there was a lack of space to put our own belongings. The communication with the hosts was not very efficient, and the instructions for parking were confusing.

    our stay in matera was phenomenal, but il geco was the cherry on top. staying in a cozy cave bedroom with a garden entrance was beyond my expectations. the generous hosts provided everything we needed and more, making us feel truly welcome.

    Confusing directions to find the place.

    I had a wonderful stay at Il Geco, the charming bed and breakfast in the heart of Matera. The location was perfect, centrally located in Sasso Barisano and close to all the main sites. The self-contained apartment was lovely, with a washing machine and a cozy balcony. Liliana, the host, went above and beyond by providing a sumptuous breakfast and even bringing us fresh focaccia from the nearby bakery. The apartment was well-stocked with everything we needed, from toiletries to kitchen supplies. The host was incredibly attentive, providing recommendations for restaurants and arranging transportation. a fantastic 2-night stay in a quiet and safe location.

    I can recommend this hotel.

    The apartment was beautifully decorated with a unique cave theme and modern design. It was located in a quiet private courtyard, just steps away from the main street and within walking distance to many delicious restaurants. the hosts were exceptional in their communication and hospitality, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. the apartment was well, equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

    The limited drop, off and pick, up hours for entering the Sassi area with a car may be inconvenient for some guests. affordable parking is available just a short walk away, so this was not a major issue for us.

    Staying at Il Geco was like stepping into a fairy tale! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the warm hospitality and attention to detail. The location was perfect, allowing me to explore the beautiful town of Matera on foot. The host, Michele, went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. He even walked me to a nearby bakery and surprised me with a delicious coffee cake for breakfast. The cave accommodation was unique and cozy, and I loved the thoughtful touches like the stocked kitchen and bathroom toiletries. I felt like royalty staying in such a special place. I highly recommend Il Geco for anyone looking for a magical stay in Matera.
