B&B Ponticello in San Potito: the location is fabulous, in the heart of the Sassi of Matera, perfect for visiting the city, the historic center and all the attractions that a splendid city like Matera offers. The structure is extremely clean, comfortable, quiet and welcoming. It is located inside a "Sasso", with a room carved out in an old cave it seems. The B&B is brand new, it seems to have been open for a couple of months, and the renovation works (as the owners teach) have been done with art, to leave the original structure unchanged. Inside there is the "modern" through a good wi-fi connection, a bluetooth sound system, the LED TV with HD satellite channels. You really have all the comforts, you feel at home! Much appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine with pods available for free, and the kettle for a good herbal tea (also offered in a courtesy kit) before going to bed. Very nice the possibility to adjust the lights in the room, to create a relaxed atmosphere on occasion. Air conditioning is a godsend for the hot days we found. The bathroom, although it doesn't seem very large, actually has everything you need (including a very large walk-in shower): honestly, in some hotels it is much worse even though it is more spacious. Breakfast is offered in a bar a few hundred meters away (in the city center): honestly, I prefer it to the prepackaged foods found in other B&Bs, also because personally a good cappuccino from a bar is a godsend to start a beautiful day. A special thanks to Amabile and Lorenzo, who welcomed us like family, pointing out and explaining point by point how to make the most of our two days in Matera, including many tourist and historical information about the city (in addition to some tips to enjoy the patronal feast of July 2nd in Matera). Finally, the quality/price ratio is absolutely one of the best! We spent beautiful days, in great relaxation; we will gladly return and highly recommend everyone to stay in this wonderful structure. Thanks again.
