So special and spacious!!

A breathtaking, bright and roomy property in the heart of Sassa, Matera. The indoor space was lovely and comfortable and very spacious. In addition, a beautiful terrace extending beyond the length of the property with multiple seating choices. And a roof deck with more magnificent views! Owner was very responsive and helpful. Very highly recommend..
