Castle of Matrera Tours and Activities

Bearing in mind that you get what you pay for... Pros: Great price, five minutes' walk to the centre of town, comfy bed, clean room. Cons: (Takes deep breath) It is NOISY. I was on the fifth floor, but the flimsy doors onto the balcony aren't double-glazed, so you hear traffic constantly and the metal blind outside rattling every time there's a gust of wind. And the walls aren't much better - trying to sleep while the couple in the room next door are having loud sex is uncomfortable, and the smell of their cigarette smoke from the adjacent balcony somehow makes its way into my room. Not nice. And then there's the bathroom... You are supplied with a small sachet of body wash once a day and there is no soap by the wash basin, so you need to ration that sachet carefully if you want to wash your hands. The toilet seat fell off as it isn't actually fixed to the toilet. The shower...wow. there is a small bath at a RIGHT-ANGLE to the toilet, so you have to climb OVER the toilet to access the shower. If you don't break something from slipping over while getting out of this architectural abomination, you will no doubt sever an artery as you smash into the GLASS shower 'curtain'... Apart from all that, just fine.
