Simply wonderful!
Such a lovely, warm welcome by Laurita and her family as we arrived in the sleepy but authentic town of Matino.
We fell in love with her home instantly. The attention to detail was beautiful, like something out of Elle Decoration! The amount of space we had was really generous, with the choice of 3 terraces, one being on the roof where we enjoyed several sunsets and heard nothing but the church bells and birds above – bliss. We miss this already! The kitchen was well equipped and if we stayed longer, we would have made more use of the kitchen space. Bed was huge and comfy. We instantly settled in as if it was our home from home.

The location was a great base for our day trip exploring. Laurita shared lots of recommendations to us which were really helpful. One being a local restaurant you can see from the roof terrace. This was a really special meal for our last evening.

One of the best hosts we have ever had, dropping Italian pastries into us one morning, a bottle of wine, water and fresh fruit for our arrival was so thoughtful. These small touches go along way! Her son, who translated Italian to English for us was really sweet and we enjoyed chatting to him and thank you to her husband who quickly popped round when we locked ourselves out. We were very sad to say goodbye and wished we could have stayed longer.

We truly loved our stay here and didn’t want to leave. I would love to return again and highly recommend to anyone. If you went with friends, there is another property opposite which would be great for sharing the terraces together. That’s what we hope to do on our return one day!
