Giuseppe is truly a “Super Host”. I visited from America and it was my first time visiting Gravina, my grandmother’s hometown. He personally went out of his way with the help of friends and family to make sure I found his place, since I don’t speak Italian and I got a little lost. He also made wonderful recommendations on where to eat and to find delicious coffee and pastries. Definitely go to Mama Mia’s and Toscaffe. His beautiful place was exactly what I thought it would be, in a perfect location in the old city, near a nice park, a food store, with access to restaurants and the bridge overlooking the gorge. I walked everywhere and took amazing photos of the city and visited the churches and museums. I can’t say enough of how wonderful my experience was and I will certainly return in the future. Everyone in Gravina was so kind and helpful to someone who came from so far away. I visited Matera, but preferred staying in Gravina since it is calmer and so easy to get around by foot. Once again, thank you Giuseppe!
