Le Origini

We stayed at this B&B for three nights based on the reviews here. The stay corresponded with my wife’s birthday so we took the nicest room which was located in an adjoining building and was large and very cave-like. It had a balcony overlooking the gorge and a huge jacuzzi Bath in the main room. Very impressive! Breakfast was taken in the main building and was delicious consisting of a wide range of local dishes. I asked for poached eggs and although I don’t think the cook had much experience she was an expert by the end of the three days - great effort! Parking is away from the b&b and we managed to get into the reserved open air car park on arrival. It was agreed that a space would be reserved for me as we were out exploring every day and I was concerned that the car park was full when we returned in day two. Not an issue! Aside from the open air car park, Origini also own the very large locked garage next door so parking should never be an issue (a valuable commodity in Matera!) I also had chance to view the owners lovely old classic Fiat 500. Don’t forget to drive it!!! All in all an excellent stay. Stunning accommodation, well located with friendly staff and tasty breakfast. The views are spectacular too. As we were leaving the team gave my wife a charming little birthday gift too!

The hotel is ideally located to the old city of Matera. The rooms are excellent. Antonia was the best host we have encountered- helpful, friendly and professional. Her recommendations were great. Breakfasts are personalised and delicious with a wide choice.

Perfect location to explore Matera. The hotel sits immediately outside of Matera and is a few steps away from being able to explore the city. There is parking which is very convenient. The rooms are very nice, clean, quiet and renovated. The showers are great too.

What a lovely hotel, the location is right in the Sassi area. Saverio, the owner and his wife welcomed us warmly and told us about the history of Matera. The breakfast was delicious too. Our room was amazing, we had a 2 levels room with a lot of space nicely decorated with a great shower! The hotel has a private parking 2 minutes from the hotel, if u have a car make sure to reserve a spot for 10 euros a day. If you’re looking for a great hotel in Matera, this is the place to stay!

We loved this Matera hotel! In fact, it was one of our favorites of our 10 day trip in Puglia. The location is perfect, an easy walk into the center of town and to many great restaurants. Amazing views from our room. The staff was very friendly and helped us with big suitcases. Parking is super easy and not far from the hotel. The room is very elegantly styled, and I especially liked the modern bathroom. The only thing missing is soundproof windows. The breakfast was fabulous, with a great assortment of fresh fruit and homemade cakes. I definitely recommend this hotel for your trip to Matera!
