Casa MATERiA, once a simple abandoned "lamione", now stands as a renovated jewel in the heart of Matera, welcoming guests with an experience that blends art, design, and hospitality. Located on Via Casalnuovo, the access point to the ancient Rione Sassi, the facility is not just a place to stay, but a true residential gallery, where every corner tells a story of creativity and passion.

This transformation is the result of the vision of two brothers from Puglia, who, choosing to settle in Matera, wanted to infuse their artistic spirit into a context rich in history. Casa MATERiA presents itself as a house that reflects the identity of its inhabitants, with a sober elegance that celebrates the essence of traditional materials such as tuff, wood, and glass. Every piece of furniture and decoration has been custom designed and crafted, expressing a harmony between functionality and aesthetics, born directly in the very place that now welcomes guests.

The beating heart of Casa MATERiA is not limited to architecture. The conviviality is enhanced by one of the owners' passion for cooking, who offers a journey through flavors with an exclusive selection of teas and herbal infusions, enriched by tasting opportunities that blend tradition and innovation. Guests have the chance to savor local and artisanal products, such as jams made from organic fruit, breads made with ancient flours, and a special attention to natural leavening.

The cultural dimension of Casa MATERiA intertwines with the history of Matera, a city that has been able to preserve the marks of its past, with its tuff-carved architectures and breathtaking landscape of the Sassi. Here, every aspect of life and history is rooted in a land that has been the stage for interactions and events for millennia. Casa MATERiA proposes itself not only as a refuge but as a starting point to explore a unique architectural and cultural heritage.

In this atmosphere rich in meaning, guests are invited to discover hospitality that becomes an experience, where the beauty of everyday life finds expression through simple gestures, affections, and relationships. Casa MATERiA is, ultimately, an invitation to immerse oneself in a context where art, culture, and gastronomy come together to create unforgettable moments.

Simone and Michele are extremely friendly and very professional. The design of the property is excellent (almost everything designed and handmade by Michele). The breakfast was another surprise: everything homemade by Simone and extremely tasteful. We had a lovely stay. Thank you Simone and Michele and hope to see you again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at Simone and Michele's. Casa Materia is a true architectural gem and is ideally located to explore beautiful Matera. But it's the hosts who bring the final touch. Simone prepares breakfast with great attention to detail. He cooks and makes everything himself with the best ingredients. Michèle and Simone gave us many tips to make the most of our visit and made reservations at the nicest restaurants. No effort is really too much for them. A gourmet address!

The Casa Materia house is a little gem nestled 2 steps away from the sassi of Matera. We stayed there with our 2 older teenagers. Michele and Simone are outstanding hosts and the attention to detail is evident. The breakfast cooked by Simone and the discovery of Michele's works are 2 highlights of our stay. Note that in the 4-person room, the facilities are behind 1 of the 2 rooms without soundproofing... So it's best to stay there with close friends, otherwise among friends, it's better to opt to separate in the 2 rooms of the house. Very good stay for us.

Hospitality, a warm welcome and great kindness. The owners, Simone and his brother Michele, are open books and their knowledge, particularly about the city of Matera, is extraordinary.

A perfect place to refresh all the senses in peace. Simone and Michele, full of energy, respectively showcase their talents: the first in the culinary arts (breakfast 10 out of 10) and the other in the attention to detail and the design of Casa MATERiA. We will gladly return.

Casa Materia is an extraordinary example of hospitality and contemporary design in the heart of Matera. The property stands out for its meticulous attention to detail: every space reflects a coherent design approach and an architectural sensibility that harmonizes modern languages with local identity. From the very first moment, the passion and care with which this place was conceived and created are evident. Special thanks to Michele and Simone, gracious, attentive and professional hosts who welcome guests with ease and genuine hospitality. Casa Materia is not simply a place to stay, but an aesthetic and high-level comfort experience capable of interpreting and showcasing the uniqueness of Matera. A true point of reference for those seeking excellence and authenticity.

It was much more than just a simple stay, quiet and very pleasant. It was an experience of cooking, history, and design. The owners are two truly special brothers who make you feel in a new world but in an old-fashioned way. Thank you and we hope to see each other again.

Michele and Simone have created a little gem. The location is excellent. Very close to the sassi but a bit secluded. Tranquility reigns supreme. You can feel their passion in every detail: from the clean, linear, design rooms to the very tasty breakfast attentive to the ingredients (Km 0). For tea lovers, there is a little surprise: Simone is a true connoisseur and can offer infusions from around the world. We had 4 fantastic days thanks also to Michele and Simone's directions/advice. We hope to come back soon and stay again at Casa Materia.
