The second working bee day has been managed thanks to Casa netural: hands, minds and tools at work for the garden at L’Albero. Do you know Casa netural? Casa netural was born as a co-working space and I saw it growing exponentially, becoming a business incubator, co-living space and in general a landmark for those […]
I watched this video during the Waste Reduction Day of the last 9th of april. I love it so much and now I want to say something about that, because I really care about this issue. Recycling is something that we all should do everyday – and not only during this particular celebration – with […]
Today I feel inspired and I’d like to talk to you about Monia. I had the pleasure to host her here at L’Albero at the end of July, in occasion of her birthday. She decided to celebrate treating herself with a weekend in Matera, isn’t it a great idea? Monia worked in a bank for […]
Matera is a city rich of valuable artisans and innovative activities about the environment. I’ve noticed this beautiful energy right away and I couldn’t resist to the temptation of embody it in purpose-made events. So it was born the Working Bee Days at L’Albero di Eliana. What is it about? You just have to put […]
I always define L’Albero like this: a project of a thousand hands. Here at L’Albero there’s always been participation, since the structural works when it was nice to work together with the builders and learn from them among laughs and misunderstandings. Once we closed the building site, all friends, the near and the far ones, […]
What brought me to L’Albero? Everything started in Rome, where after a few years of office work I understood that the Big City life was really not for me! That set, I moved to Australia, where my passions could finally find fertile ground, and where I learned much on sustainable and slow living. After two […]
Spontaneous. Yeah, that’s it! Spontaneous! No stunning expressions, no suggestive quotes, no touching tales. Probably the best way to give birth to this new section is the same way of the other experiences of this great adventure we are living: spontaneously. That’s how started ViviSostenibile. That’s how the “tree within stones” began to arise. And […]
Stayed as a couple for 2 nights in June and Eliana provided us with the perfect platform for a Matera experience we will never forget. She goes out of her way to make one’s stay memorable, providing tips and advice and most of all sharing her special home with her guests. Our room was spacious, quiet and comfortable.
Eliana is kind and fully respectful of her hosts’ privacy. The location is amazing, the house in the Sassi creates a natural air conditioning that is crucial in summer. Eliana picks with care every single piece of food that is served during breakfast. This place makes you feel at home, in the right place.
The most beautiful room ever! In the heart of the Sassi, yet in a quiet street with little people passing by. We had our private entrance though a small court filled with flowers that led to our terrace. The room has high voulted ceilings and you can see a part of the house is typically sculpted within the rock.
The room was really a nest and we very much enjoyed staying at Eliana‘s and really appreciated the little design details everywhere. Breakfast was a highlight with self made marmalade and fruits and yogurt. The welcoming and homely atmosphere gave us a good start to explore Matera that became one of our favourite locations.
