Locanda Di San Martino Hotel & Thermae  

great location within the sassi, and the experience of sleeping in acave-room family room nice and large , even with older children, a dressing room helped for privacy most staff helpfull, one front desk clerk in particular very nice breakfast

extra charge for the use of the pool , we did not consider it worth 10 Euro each not to mention having to follow "Italian bathing cap rules" or the fact that no one under 18 is allowed although the stairs were not a problem for us , this hotel would not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems

The hotel was really lovely. It was down a cul-de-sac and we took the option for the hotel to take our car away, park it and bring it back the next day, I think it was 15 euros, as there is no parking at the hotel. The rom was lovely, unfortunately the weather wasn't which made the Therme so fabulous. I would recommend taking a book for relaxing after the pool, personally we couLd have stayed for ages but had an hour with no-one else in there. It took us a while to actually get there from the west coast, but we loved it. HD a tour of the caves, very interesting. Mareta is to be European City of Culture in 2019, spo I am sure the city will see a lot of changes. the hotel recommended the restaurant at the end of the street and it was lovely.

For some people the walking and steps of the city might be a problem,

Its location right in the middle of the Sassi, the design and furnishing of the accomodation provided as well as the unusual experience it gave to live in a "cave"!

Excellent accommodations and attentive staff in the astoundingly unique setting of the Sassi. The room was lovely, spacious and very comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely fabulous. Staff members were ready with helpful information about the hotel, the local environs (including great restaurant recommendations,e.g. Nadi's) and the region. We greatly enjoyed our 4 nights at Locanda Di San Martino!

Great location! Wonderful, hospitable staff. Highly recommend!

Excellent location right in the Sassi and near food/shops. The cave rooms were fun and unique to sleep in and that was the main reason we picked this hotel. The staff are friendly and informed. The breakfast was nice and served in a large cave room. 15 Euro and someone will come and get your car and park it inside a garage...worth every penny. Overall, one of the nicest places in my 6 months in Italy.

We weren't able to find the hotel right away due to gps problems (It wanted me to go down a flight a stairs to get to the Sassi district)...it is in the lowest part of the Sassi and it is really tight to fit in a mid-sized car there. The Thermae cannot be used by anyone under 18 and that is a shame...there should be family hours for older children, but I understand that is less a swimming pool and more a spa.

In matera this is surely the best place to stay.. Extremely confortable (the room in the 2nd fllor, i think superior rooms) ,great view and the therme was simply awsome.. The swimming pool is a cave and its breathtaking beauty. The bathroom and rooms are big . It can be hot in summer for babies as i came to know from a friend but in early winner its beautiful . Breakast is standard italian but good. I am sure you will not regret if you choose this hotel .Good and helpful staff. Value for money..

Cave rooms can be bit stuffy for infant but still its an unique experience.

We enjoyed staying in a cavern environment which was a first for us. The location, the staff and the thermal facilities were very pleasing. We will recommend this place to family and friends.

Because of its location in the Sassi it was difficult to find the hotel. Better indications on the website souls be helpful.

Fantastic location for exploring the Sassi, and easy access to the town centre and eating places.Great view of the the Sasso from our room, through large window. Welcoming, helpful & cheerful staff, creating good atmosphere.

Following the reviews on Booking.com all hotels were good along our 12-day trip from Rome to Catania but this one was an outstanding experience! Faultless decor, wonderful view from the window, private balcony to sit outside in the evening, modern facilities still matching the coziness of the house, but most of all the wonderful spa! We had been noticed in advance that this was €10 extra per person so it was not a surprise to us and was well worth it. Do not hesitate to try it out once you are there! The breakfast was also decent by Italian standard.

It was a bit on the expensive side.

Excellent location, with a fantastic view on the "sassi". Very kind people and nice, although small. Spa inside

This hotel was perfect in every way. I had requested a room with a patio and in my opinion received one of the best rooms in the hotel! (12). Had a wonderful 2 night stay - excellent service a++.

Comfortabe & nice room, good breakfast. Spa was relaxing after hot day. In the middle of the old town - excellent location
