Luminarie Sassi - A House Carved into the Rock in the Heart of the Sassi of Matera
Le Luminarie Sassi is een historische woning in het hart van de Sassi van Matera, waar je de oude stad op authentieke wijze kunt beleven. Hier versmelt het sfeervolle uitzicht op de Murgia-hoogvlakte met de eeuwenoude, uit de rotsen gehouwen en romaanse architectuur. De woning ligt in het meest pittoreske deel van de oude Sassi-wijken en biedt plaats aan maximaal 2 personen. Het is gedeeltelijk ondergronds (uitgehouwen in de rots) en kijkt uit op een klein panoramisch pleintje (een oude wijk) met een waterreservoir. De charme en het gevoel van rust die de buitenruimtes kenmerken – die volledig zijn ingericht en klaar voor gebruik – worden aangevuld door het unieke karakter van het interieur, dat wordt gekenmerkt door de aanwezigheid van „luminarie“ – verlichte architectonische versieringen die typisch zijn voor Zuid-Italië – een creatie van lokale meester-ambachtslieden. Nadat deze stukken festivals en markten hebben opgefleurd, zijn ze zorgvuldig gerestaureerd en verlichten en sieren ze nu ons huis.
dit vakantiehuis ligt in Matera in het stadscentrum. Bezoek culturele hoogtepunten Museo della Scultura Contemporanea en De Waterverzameling. Daarnaast kun je ook enkele van de bezienswaardigheden in de buurt verkennen, zoals Sassi ed il Parco delle Chiese Rupestri di Matera en Casa Grotta 'Once Upon a Time...'.

We had a memorable stay at Le LUMINARIe Sassi in Matera. The location is within walking distance to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso. The unit is clean & comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and fridge and a great shower. It is in a quiet area and not hard to get to from the main road.

A beautiful apartment on the edge of the Sassi area in Matera. It was tastefully and stylishly decorated. The host thoughtfully provided water, milk and a few essential food items which were very welcome. The location was superb, looking out towards the Murgia plateau. And because it was on the edge of the town it was easy to find and get to with luggage, not too many steps. Everything in the apartment was comfortable and very clean - comfortable bed, good shower.The host was responsive and got back to us quickly with answers to any questions. Her communication was excellent, particularly about parking and how to get the shuttle bus to Matera, which was very easy. We had a lovely time in Matera, it is an amazing place.

Great location, comfortable accommodations and gracious host. Wifi was sporadic but may have been the area and not the fault of the host.

Great apartment in the heart of Sasso Caveoso
Excellent location, really close to main square St Pietro. Property is finished to a very high standard. Park and ride system with secure car park works well and bus stops very close to property.

Perfect choice in Sassi di Materra
The property is in a great location within walking distance to everything in the Sassi. The bed is very comfortable and how cool to shower in a cave! The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with some breakfast items. The host also had a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Exceptional Property and Host!
Matera is an incredible city and this was the perfect place to stay! We found Le Luminarie Sassi to be perfectly appointed in every way. There were plenty of amenities: lovely coffee and teas as well as beverages, snacks, breakfast goodies and complimentary wine from our kind and helpful host, Lorella. The bed was comfortable, kitchen items and appliances for all needs, and shower was beautiful as pictured. The location has an incredible view and is close to everything within walking distance. We loved our stay and definitely recommend this property!

A stay over in Sassi
Enjoyed our few nights in Sassi’s beautifull surroundings and great atmosphere. Almost forgot about the neighbours’ dog already who kept us awake during the nights. I would check upfront next time if that dog is still there.

Cave experience is unique
After a tour understanding the history of the caves in Matera, it is a humbling experience to stay with all the modern amenities of electricity, running water and yes, internet! Lorella has made this a clean,cutely decorated apartment, it’s in a great spot to walk everywhere. Be aware that it’s a bit of a hike to the property, so be in good health. Although, lorella came to meet us on the Main Street and hauled half the stuff up. Another great aspect of a true host is responsiveness. Our first afternoon had challenges with the internet and power outages. She was in communication all the time helping us. Thank you, Lorella. You made this a magical experience.

Special experience in Matera
We arrived not really knowing about Matera and once we turned the corner on the bus and saw what the Sassi was all about our jaws dropped! Then to discover that we would be staying in the heart of it in a beautiful cave home was the beginning of a magical three days. Easy to park following host’s directions to the public car park and an easy bus ride to the end of the line in heart of it all. Good instructions to find the place and so tastefully and well decorated. A lovely welcome gift of wine and snacks for our anniversary was really special. The bed was super comfortable- best sleep so far in Italy. The cave shower was amazing and all the touches of lighting made a cozy hang out on our one rainy day. Matera has so many great restaurants and interesting places to discover we easily filled our three days. The hike to the caves is wonderful and the whole vibe was sacred and elevated. This place is a gem and very well priced for the value you get. I would recommend to stay!

Home away from Home
We stayed in this wonderful place for 10 nights. There are no words to describe it. It truly felt like a home. If you are renting a car, be sure to download the app, Easy Park. The parking lot we used is called Saragat. When you park the car, be sure to take a photo of the parking spot number in case you have to extend your hours of parking. A red bus with "Stassi" as the destination picks you up right outside the lot and runs every 20 minutes. The fee is 1.5 euros per person. Make sure you have coins or small bill denominations. The most difficult part of our 2 weeks in Italy was breaking any bill large than a 20. The bus delivers you to the Plaza in the old town and it is just a brief walk up to the unit. The host met us at the door and gave us a tour of the place. The amenities are well thought out and she had the refrigerator stocked with yogurt, drinks and basic groceries. The wi-fi worked beautifully and maid service was outstanding. We made friends with Roland, the water at the restaurant at the end of the steps and also had coffee every morning at one of the hundreds of cafe's.
We explored the old town every day and enjoyed the tours of the ancient caves, the aquifier and all of the craftsmen selling their wares. Be prepared for millions of stairs and wear extremely comfortable shoes with rubber soles. The restaurants were wonderful, we especially enjoyed Francesca's and every day was an adventure. I can not say enough about this incredible host!

Sassi
This is an ancient city. It was fascinating to stay in one of the caves where people have lived for over 4000 years. But recently upgraded to modern day comforts and safety. The bedroom/living area is well appointed. The kitchen had everything one needed, and the bathroom had a shower in the cave wall that was as unusual as the city. I enjoyed my stay very much.
