This place exceeded my expectations. I don't think that the pictures you see online show what a true jewel this is, in the middle of the country-side, just outside the stunning Sassi of Matera. I grew up near this place, so for me this should be no big surprise, but the way the owners have re-designed this ancient "masseria" (big, rich farm-house) deserves praises. The so called "standard" room was in itself an oasis for the soul. Everything inside this place is poetic, artsy but not pretentious, neither "fake genuine". You go to this place to write poems, to read philosophy ... or simply to enjoy your free time. Now for the little things that could be improved, in my opinion: above all, I missed someone to talk about wines and grapes at my dinner-table. My otherwise very nice waiter could and should learn the difference between natural and non natural wines, for instance, just in case a picky wine-lover such myself shows up. I also missed a bit of a personal welcome from the owner, who was often around there, but who greeted me ... but I understand he sees so many people coming and going. I also would have liked a child-free area somewhere, sometime ... BUT all in all this was a fantastic experience. I have traveled a lot, and I have my needs ... at the same time I do own myself a masseria nearby, so I can really see what a great job the owners have done to enhance our traditions in a classy and loving way. I am picky all right, but this place conquered me. BRAVISSIMI
