“Residence Masseria Santa Lucia has mastered rural chic; the setting in a restored farmhouse provides a unique window into Matera's peasant culture, enhanced by eco-friendly practices, a relaxing pool, and on-site gardens. While the location might feel a bit industrial at first, the restored architecture and proximity to Matera's UNESCO sites create a compelling contrast. I think this property is a solid choice for travellers who appreciate historical charm with modern amenities.”
