Corte San Pietro, for my wife and I, is and will always be the most magical and perfect experience we have ever had in our lives. We have been to many incredible places, but nothing compares to the magical Corte San Pietro. Matera is incredible, of course, but without the Hotel it would not be the same.|It is like being in a movie where every detail has been carefully thought out. And they did.|And it was by chance. The universe took us there. We arrived in Matera, in the upper part of the city and, after leaving our car in the parking lot, we went down by transfer to the historic city. When we arrived in front of a highly rated hotel that we had selected, we did not feel well. It was as if there was no connection. My wife went with the driver to see other options that he said he knew of in the village. She came back delighted! She was met by the incredible Giuseppe who, from the beginning, won her over. We immediately moved into the magical world. At check-in, we met the incredible and smiling Fernando Pontes who, upon learning that it was my wife's birthday, gave us an upgrade to an even more incredible room.|The hotel is the most charming villa I have ever seen, with rooms in the city's old cisterns, as if we were in the middle of a romantic Italian film. Everyone's smiles and joy in serving were inexplicable.|The cleanliness is extraordinary, the breakfast is wonderful, with gluten-free and lactose-free options, and for more than one day, we enjoyed an incredible performance by a guest pianist. The decor is incredible. In every corner, there is a detail, an incredible historical piece, a book, an armchair. As I said, every detail is incredible.|Giuseppe provided us with all the tips and restaurant reservations, all of which were incredible and all of them treated us with great care as their guests. We will always remember one particular evening when we came back with half a bottle of rosé and decided to sit outside the room to enjoy the moonlight. When the staff saw us arriving, even though it was almost midnight, they brought us warm bread with butter and fruit to accompany our drink.|In addition, they recommended cities to visit, hotels, guesthouses and restaurants in various parts of Puglia, all the way to Lecce.|Another very important point. When we left, the parking van was not available and Fernando, in his own car, took us there with our bags. Another incredible kindness we received.|One particular episode for which I would like to thank them for their patience and even apologize. The rooms are unique and historic, as are their keys. Unfortunately, in the rush to pack our things, we took the room key without realizing it had happened. We realized it on the road and immediately stopped in Altamura to look for a post office to send it to them (this really upset us because we realized later that they had called us on WhatsApp but we were not online to notice). At the post office, the staff introduced us to a resident of Matera who promised to take the key back free of charge and he did. Grazie Mille Antonelo!!|For me, who has worked in services for over 20 years, it was like being in a place where everything was an example that I wanted to take and reflect on for the companies where I worked.|We hope to return soon! We talk practically every day about returning to Corte San Pietro soon and we hope to find the same smiles and friends we made there.|Thank you all, Fernando Pontes, dear Giuseppe! We recommend it to everyone who wants to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we will see you again soon!
