Istituto Sacro Cuore (BRM103)

Matera Basilicata
Book Now

House of the Suore Riparatrici del Sacro Cuore

This is a lovely stay in a truly picturesque town. The charm of an ancient Roman era shines through as you explore Matera, and this monastery acts as the perfect base for this quintessential experience.

Matera is famous for its churches and beautifully historic appearance. 'Sassi di Matera' is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - an ancient city, which was one of the first known human settlements in Italy, over 9,000 years old. It is the main attraction in the town, and a stone throw away from the monastery. Experiencing Matera is as close to stepping back into ancient Roman times as possible - explore the caves and alleyways or bask in the sunshine at one of the great restaurants and take in the view - Matera is truly a fantastic experience. The Matera Cathedral is definitely worth a visit, as well as many of the other churches in the town, including San Giovanni Battista, the church of Sant Agostino and the church of San Pietro Caveoso (to name a few).

This is a school/monastery. Once the children go home, it is very quiet, and calm. It is located just a couple of hundred meters from the main square in Matera, and you can access the sassi from there. This is an ideal location for a stay in Matera, and they even offer parking.

Suor Maura and Suor Marina were particularly kind and patient, especially in our conversations in Italian. The location was excellent being close to the train and bus station as well as the town centre in the other direction. Breakfast the first day was pancakes along with the selection of cakes, fruit and yoghurt. It was very wet while I was there, so didn't have the opportunity to make use of the really pretty garden. There is no where to make or get a hot drink outside breakfast hours, so next time I would take something to make tea. Suor Marina did fill my flask one evening so I had a warm drink before bed.

The nuns at Sacro Cuore were extremely welcoming. Sr Beena was the sister assigned to visitors and we were very well taken care of. The convent is running a kindergarten and primary school in addition to providing accommodation for travellers. We loved our stay here.

The room was excellent, spacious, clean and modern bathroom. Istituto Sacro Cuore is a short walk to the main square of Matera. The off street parking was handy because I had a car, but I believe there is also a train station. The Sisters were very welcoming and helpful and I very much enjoyed my stay.

Extraordinarily clean, comfortable, centrally located and run by the warm and welcoming sisters of Sacro Cuore. Highly recommended.
