Residence Masseria Santa Lucia

This Masseria is located at about 10 min driving distance from the city center. It’s a convenient location, with supermarkets and gas stations nearby and close to the highway too. The place is great, an old building with lots of history behind that was renovated and converted into a hotel/guest house, with a beautiful outdoor pool and garden. Unfortunately, I found the management very inexperienced - except for Enzo at reception, who went above and beyond our expectations from the day we arrived, offering plenty of good suggestions for places to visit, restaurants and shops and always ready to help and make us feel welcome. The rest of the staff is either very young or does not seem prepared for the task they are up to. They also have a restaurant inside, managed by other owners, where we did not have a good experience at all. We had dinner there one evening. The food options were very limited (and did not reflect that was on the menu), the food was average and the service seemed improvised. When we paid the waiter summed up our bill with a manual calculator and couldn’t even remember the prices of the dishes in the menu (he was looking at a hard copy of it) - something I found hilarious and have never seen before! Also, bad price-quality relation - you can get something much better for better price in Matera. Overall, OK rooms and apartments, although not perfectly clean, and OK breakfast too. However, I would not go back to this Masseria as I am sure there are better places in Matera for the same price. A pity considering the beautiful location they have!

Superb. You drive through a comercial center but one through the gates it's amazing. The attention to detail of the whole site is excellent. Staff very friendly too. One thing to note it looks like you could walk to old town Matera but you'll need to drive, however there is a car park right on the edge of the old town so no problem.

I must say it was a truly delightful experience. This hotel is a hidden gem, located just a 9-minute drive away from the historical town of Matera. The service at Masseria Santa Lucia was nothing short of exceptional; staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The attention to detail and genuine care they exhibited truly made a difference in creating a memorable experience. One of the standout features of this hotel is the historic building itself, which exudes charm and character. The rooms, designed in a cave-like fashion, perfectly blend the historical elements with modern comfort. The attention to preserving the historical character while providing all the necessary amenities was impressive. It felt like stepping back in time while still enjoying the conveniences of contemporary accommodations. The hotel's pool area deserves special mention as it is absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast was included in our stay, which was delicious with a lot of options. Thank you so much !

Great place to stay at. Very convenient. Lots of space and pool area.

A beautiful property with lots of space, great pool and large bright room

Truly one of the most beautiful hotels I have experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The rooms, pool, and restaurant are top quality. And the staff is great, working diligently to meet your needs. My highest commendation to Andrea, and thank you to all staff. We look forward to coming again, hopefully soon!

Lovely hotel, pleasant and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, even had a supermarket conveniently close
