Masseria Fontana Di Vite

Absolutely beautiful. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Grounds are such a lovely setting. Pool is very classy and fantastic views. Restaurant food was amazing. Breakfast a wide choice of sweet or savoury. Room was huge, room 2. Room was cleaned thoroughly every day.

Fantastic and relaxing resort. Far few km from Matera center, with a delightful country area all around. Great silence, very comfortable rooms, but the top of the top is the restaurant! A great quality of foods and wines. Highly recommended

Good food. Rooms to far from restaurant. Rooms very comfortable except temperatura that was always warm.

A wonderful place to stay with staff that was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was quite big and had all the modern facilities we could want, such as TV, a big bathroom with a rain shower, shower necessities, towels for the swimming pool. We had a private terrace that looked out over the fields that surround the masseria. It is located a couple kilometers outside of Matera, making it perfect for visiting the city but also enjoying a peaceful vacation. The breakfast is extensive and they offer to the option to have dinner too, which I definitely recommend trying at least once.

This place exceeded my expectations. I don't think that the pictures you see online show what a true jewel this is, in the middle of the country-side, just outside the stunning Sassi of Matera. I grew up near this place, so for me this should be no big surprise, but the way the owners have re-designed this ancient "masseria" (big, rich farm-house) deserves praises. The so called "standard" room was in itself an oasis for the soul. Everything inside this place is poetic, artsy but not pretentious, neither "fake genuine". You go to this place to write poems, to read philosophy ... or simply to enjoy your free time. Now for the little things that could be improved, in my opinion: above all, I missed someone to talk about wines and grapes at my dinner-table. My otherwise very nice waiter could and should learn the difference between natural and non natural wines, for instance, just in case a picky wine-lover such myself shows up. I also missed a bit of a personal welcome from the owner, who was often around there, but who greeted me ... but I understand he sees so many people coming and going. I also would have liked a child-free area somewhere, sometime ... BUT all in all this was a fantastic experience. I have traveled a lot, and I have my needs ... at the same time I do own myself a masseria nearby, so I can really see what a great job the owners have done to enhance our traditions in a classy and loving way. I am picky all right, but this place conquered me. BRAVISSIMI

Conveniently located near Matera but away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed returning to the tranquility this masseria offered. Helpful staff on hand to assist; their advice on where to park for easy access to the Sassi and Matera a godsend. Room and bathroom were large and tastefully decorated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
