We arrived early afternoon and were met by Luca, he was excellent.. very friendly, lots of advice on the city. B&B Portella was extraordinary - a destination in itself, self-contained with restaurant. The courtyard was charming. Local culinary arts and hospitality in general were also top notch, making Matera a must see destination for Basilicata and all of southern Italy!! Thanks! Best staff I have ever met in my entire life! Irsina is a little gem in the middle of yellow fields and green patches on the hills of Basilicata. I had to deal with it through a very kind but helpless night guard who was left in the night to discuss with the owner on the phone the issue I was having and follow his orders.
