Can I award 10 stars? 100? This was without doubt the absolute best VRBO experience we have ever had, and we have rented probably 100+ VRBO properties over the years all over Europe and Italy. The property itself is stunning -- you are in the most luxurious "cave" imaginable. The bathroom is gorgeous with modern fixtures. High-quality bed linens and towels. The view from the terrace is drop-dead stunning. You are perfectly located to walk to everything you would want to do or see in Matera. There is a very nice restaurant right next door. But the hosts are what make this place so amazing. Gianfranco and Rosalba are the most generous, giving hosts we have every encountered. Gianfranco picked us up at the garage and returned us there at the end of our stay. That was a godsend. Upon our arrival, the cave was full of food and beverages for us! Coffee, milk, fresh pastries -- an entire tart! A bottle of wine! There was fruit (apples, kiwi, pears), two kinds of cereal, bread, salami, pasta, olive oil, a can of Italian tomatoes, garlic! Gianfranco was super responsive and helpful in every way. I HIGHLY recommend this property! One hint: use the underground section of the garage - much cheaper and very easy with instructions in English.
