I am happy to share suggestions and tips about routes, guides and restaurants to make your stay in Matera an authentic experience. I will be happy to personally show you a map and suggest nice routes and alleys to walk in the Sassi or in the region of Basilicata. I will also recommend you a wide range of taverns, delis and restaurants with varied price ranges: the criteria I like to use are courtesy, a good reception level, quality of raw materials and for sure, taste must hit you right in the heart! For the most curious people, I suggest visiting craftsman’s shops, I will help my guests with the research of any services and facilities during their stay and to bring home a good dose of genuineness, putting them in contact with local producers to buy organic food, zero KM and seasonal food. I can help you buy local, as you would do at home.
