Dar Dhiafa

The village is lovely to walk around, especially up on the heights. The owner gave us a wonderful welcome, told us about the village, and made our stay memorable. Thank you again! Excellent value for money.

Professor Francesco’s warm, friendly welcome and useful tips for getting the most out of Matera made an enchanting stay even better. The town itself is charming. I’ll definitely come back with my family.

We booked two rooms for two nights in mid-October based on the reviews and photos, and paid a deposit. The rooms turned out to be in a building across the street from the owner’s place. As soon as we went in, a strong musty smell hit us. It was impossible to stay inside without leaving the window and door open. The lighting was dim, the space was limited, and the rooms felt suffocating and extremely bare. We left the B&B right away. We would gladly have paid for one night, but the owner kept the entire deposit, which surprised us. The €55 price also felt exorbitant for the location and time of year. I’d recommend it only to people who are very, very adaptable.

Mr. Francesco’s excellent service, kindness, and willingness to help meant a lot. His words and thoughts added to our trip. I highly recommend him.
