Lovely surroundings, unique accommodation staying in a cave. Staff very nice.

Terry, Australia

The place is amazing , in the heart of sassi di Matera , walking distance to everywhere Typical room of Sassi house and amazing

Paulina, Italy

The hotel is located in the city center, thee is a nice view and you leave a hotel and find yourself in the middle of Sassi area. Also, the staff was very nice and very accomodating.

Yuliya, Spain

Located in a beautiful setting of the main historic neighborhood, very unique property with plenty of character reflected of the UNESCO area. Breakfast was very good and generous.

Paul, United Kingdom

Location is ideal and the extended staff (maids and breakfast waitress) were very polite, friendly and accommodating.

Paul, United Kingdom

Property quite old / poor or no air conditioning only a cooling ventilator

Rosemary, United Kingdom

Hotel just off the main square of this historic area. Room part of original caves. Great location and very nice breakfast served. Would be happy to stay there again. Matera should be on everyone's itinerary.

Anita, Australia

The hotel was in a great spot but there was NO signage to get to it so it was a bit of a problem to find it. Also it is in a restricted traffic zone so getting there posed a problem . Parking was supposed to be nearby but was non existant so they offered to park the car for $20 Euros!

Thomas, Canada

Location was fantastic right in the midst of the caves

Yl, Singapore

The size and the brightness of the room, thanks to the french window and the two windows, the lovely terrace looking onto the S. Pietro Caveoso and Santa Maria de Idris churches and the Sassi area around them.

“Matera is stunning”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Air con weak in one room. A very steep & narrow (2 ft at most) staircase to access the room with heavy cases.
눇Rooms were adequate - as we were 2 couples, we booked 2 rooms. However, one was good and one not so good, which was odd as they were the same price. Avoid room 10B for 2 reasons -it is accessed by a VERY narrow staircase and the air conditioning cannot cope - it was sweltering in there, partly due to the much publicised heatwave. Yet the other booked room, below,maws very cool. Staff were initially very welcoming but a problem arose because we had booked 2 nights (consecutive but in separate bookings due to a change in our itinerary). The complicated and muddled handling of this was unnecessary - we had to explain the second booking several times to different staff but there was no record of people sorting it so we had to explain it again and show confirmation as each staff member was unable to find the second booking. We were told to leave the rooms we were in as we would be in different ones for the second night (but we were assured that the hotel was not full). However, you can guess which room one of us was allocated -yes, 10B. On complaining that the air con in this room was inadequate, the hotel was suddenly full and the previous pleasant attitude became rather negative. Once again, the second room was very cool so the air con worked well in some rooms. A pity because the hotel is both good value and in a great location.

눉I know Italy was suffering a heat wave when we were there so I'm not sure if the air conditioning was unable to cope with the heat or it was because it was outdated. Our rooms were so hot.
눇Lovely surroundings, unique accommodation staying in a cave. Staff very nice.

눉The parking-directions were a little difficult. Even when you get to the square which is right there in front, there is no further signage. After going up stairscase after staircase I found it. In a few years this whole town is going to be outstanding & probably over - run like Dubrovnik (and Venice)
눇Room was perfect. AC great. Breakfast adequate.

“Good location, but not worth the money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I think it's a waste of money. We paid 150 euros for a triple room (a 2-bedroom apartment close by was 70 euros), expecting to live in a cave and, basically, paying for that. However, first room we were offered at the hotel was just a small regular room with white walls, not a single indicator of a cave. We were not very happy with that, so at the end we were suggested a room from the photo at the website, however it was not looking like cave that much. But at least it was looking more like what you see at the photo. At the end we checked out the website and found out that junior suite was available with a discount for that night, thus we asked whether they could offer it to us. They did (and thanks for that, that was very nice from the part of the staff), it was looking more like a cave. But definitely not worth 150 euros. Breakfast was not good. Even coffee was not tasty. And croissants provided me with an impression they are not fresh. Also, there were just 2 towels in a triple room.
눇The hotel is located in the city center, thee is a nice view and you leave a hotel and find yourself in the middle of Sassi area. Also, the staff was very nice and very accomodating.

눉What should have been a nice stay in a reasonable hotel was marred by the absence of a civil welcome from the older gentlemen on the reception desk after our long car journey. The photos on the website were very misleading. Though we booked and expected a "standard room" not a "cave suite" we didn't expect to be housed outside the main hotel and as such our room was only accessible via a very narrow and awkward staircase and had a very low ceiling - a bit likè a loft conversion. Nor was there a roof-top bar as the photos suggested. Breakfast was reasonable -as long as you like bread. Shower wasn't great either and the air con wasnt that effective.
눇Location is ideal and the extended staff (maids and breakfast waitress) were very polite, friendly and accommodating.

눉There was an ants nest in our room. My girlfriend's bag (which did not contain any food) was full of ants when we left. Even after only one night, so we suspect the nest must have been there already before we arrived. Very disappointed... Without that incident, it would have been OK.
