Our Story

Austak's story is woven from the threads of family, resilience, and a deep love for both our local roots and the wider world.

We are a family business, inspired by the legacy of our ancestors – everyday heroes who taught us the importance of standing up for what is good. This spirit of courage and integrity is at the heart of everything we do. 

But Austak is also a story of exploration. We believe in the transformative power of travel, the joy of discovering new places, and the connections forged with people from all walks of life. 

We've built Austak to be a reflection of these two intertwined passions: a place where the deep roots of our heritage provide a sense of belonging, and the strong wings of adventure inspire you to explore.

As your hosts, we're more than just a business: we're a family dedicated to making your stay exceptional. 

We love sharing the beauty of Bari and Matera with our guests, offering insider tips, and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime. We see the world through your eyes too, constantly learning and growing from each new connection.  We're resilient, we appreciate the finer things in life, and above all, we're genuinely happy to welcome you to Austak.

Come experience the warmth of a family welcome, the thrill of discovery, and the unique spirit of Austak.
