This was a separate building in the secure compound of the hosts stylish home. The garden was very large with a view, private parking and play area for children behind automatic gates. I felt my kitties were safe outside. The space has an adequate kitchenette with almost everything for stovetop cooking. There is a pellet stove and the hosts kept it clean. They were very helpful and addressed all our requests promptly. Their children were lovely and enjoyed my cats. The upstairs bedroom was nice but it was not warm enough in cold November weather. Perhaps a small heater would fix that. I think this would be a lovely accommodation for warmer weather with outside dining and lounging in a country location near Matera. We really loved nearby Altamura.
