Antonella was there to greet us on arrival, making us feel most welcome with a home made cake and breakfast ingredients to get us started. The apartment has private parking right at the front door. It is very roomy, the main bedroom being carved out of rock like a cave- a great novelty and very comfortable, being cool in the warmer weather and having air conditioning if it gets cool. The apartment is well appointed and in a great location on the edge of town, making it quiet yet only a 10 minute walk to the town centre and restaurants. Laterza is ideally situated in my opinion being between the two highlights of the region: Matera (which is really a fairly large and busy town- very hectic to drive in), and Alberobello, in the other direction. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thanks to a lovely apartment and a very thoughtful host. We would highly recommend this apartment to our friends.
