“All magnificent!!! I would go back a thousand times. Beautiful house, wonderful view!”

“Central, clean and tastefully decorated facility with spectacular views! Very good breakfast with local products and attention to detail. We will definitely be back!”
Giulia – Italia
n the slope of the Sasso Caveoso, stands Corte San Leonardo. The rooms, carved into the tuff and rock, make this home a cozy, quaint place of undeniable historical value. Thanks to the exposure to the sun, the presence of doors and windows in every room, a healthy and totally dry air is breathed in Corte San Leonardo. A guarantee of comfort and quality.
To infuse the rooms with personality, the original furnishings have been lightened and whitewashed, illuminating the environment with new light; rustic yet refined details have also been taken from the local area to offer even the most demanding guest a sense of well-being and welcome. Owner Barbara’s dynamic vision makes this a place in constant evolution. Come back to believe!

pending a few days at Corte San Leonardo means choosing your holiday by alternating moments of total relaxation with walks along the mule tracks of the Sassi. It is in this unique context that we would like to point out some features that we believe will enrich your stay at the hotel.
Strategic Location
Corte San Leonardo is located in the upper part of the Sasso Caveoso, in a central, easily
accessible and strategic position for a holiday dedicated to tourism. At the centre of places of
cultural interest, museums and typical restaurants, it is the perfect place to stay.
Panorama
The internal garden of Corte San Leonardo leads to a terrace with a magnificent panoramic view over the ancient city of the Sassi. An extraordinary panorama of millenary history that starts from the Murgia plateau, continues towards the city of stone with its typical dwellings dug out of the ravine (inhabited since the Palaeolithic), and ends with the Civita cliff, where the Romanesque cathedral is clearly visible.

Sweet or savoury? That will be the question Tina will ask you when you arrive at the hotel. Our breakfast, made with local and fresh products, is served in the courtyard among the green jasmine trees or in the kitchen in case of bad weather. The products vary according to
seasonality and availability at the time.
Aperitifs at the Court
The aperitif service includes a “Gourmet” version, consisting of fingers of land or sea made with fresh seasonal ingredients (home delivery service to be requested the day before your arrival at the hotel), and a “Snack” version with wine and savoury snacks to be consumed independently in your room or in the outdoor spaces.
Organised tours
We collaborate with agencies that are experts in organising tours and guided visits in which art, food and wine, walking and cycling tours allow you to enjoy your holiday to the full. Read some proposals in the Matera and environs section.
