Just a 2 minute walk from via Santo Stefano and not far from the via D’Addozio entrance to the Sassi (on the Barisano side), our residence is located just outside the town’s limited traffic zone and busy downtown area, offering guests the opportunity to visit Matera in the best and most convenient way.
Thanks to our residence’s private courtyard and private parking, guests can leave parking problems behind and easily move around the city on foot. The strategic position of Villino Tortorelli allows guests to be close to the heart of the historic center and town’s oldest neighborhoods, while staying on the flat part of town, just 900 meters from the main square – “Piazza Vittorio Veneto”.
Within 10 minutes, guests can walk along the winding streets of the historic center or go down into the Sassi on foot or using the shuttle service which has a stop close to our residence in via Santo Stefano. The shuttle goes through the Sassi, stopping at Piazza San Pietro Caveoso and ending in Piazza Matteotti near the FAL train/bus station.
The neighborhood of Villino Tortorelli has every imaginable service and convenience: starting with excellent cafès, a dairy where they make their own home-made cheeses and mozzarellas, a pastry-shop and bakery (La dolce vita pastry-shop, the Caseificio Lucano Dairy and the Pane & Pace bakery, this last one was awarded the title of “best bread in Italy” in 2019) All of these are a destination attracting locals and tourists alike, who come to taste the extraordinary delicacies on offer. In addition, there are supermarkets, farmer’s markets, pharmacies, pizzerias and restaurants to satisfy every whim.
With private entrances for each individual room, a private courtyard, reserved parking and little private gated gardens, Villino Tortorelli allows guests to fully experience their vacation in Matera in a more intimate way.
Representative of the peace and quiet you’ll find here, as well as symbolic of the history of this place – is the secular oak-tree which shades our private courtyard.
All our accommodations are double rooms with queen size beds and have a private bathroom with shower, towels and courtesy kits, air-conditioning and independent heating, Icd TV and mini-bar, stocked with a selection of drinks to choose from.
With the exception of room #5, all the rooms have kitchenettes, (without gas stove/oven), but ideal for a quick meal. In addition, all kitchenettes are equipped with espresso/cappuccino machines and an electric kettle – ideal for making teas and infusions.
