Lock in a great price for Corte San Pietro – rated 9.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

The owners are just lovely. We had gotten to Corte San Pietro after a very disappointing experience at another hotel and they offered us a free suite upgrade, after having welcomed us with fresh lemonade while sitting in their patio. They are very knowledgeable people to talk to and they would recommend the best spots in town! The hotel rooms are very unique, typical of Matera since they are actually built in the stones, super clean and perfect in every luxury detail!

Very beautifull location in the style of the old living

Lorenzo, Italy

The hotel is in a great location. Walking distance to restaurants, attractions, shops, etc. The room we stayed in was lovely. Full of character. Lovely stone features keeping with the area. Comfortable bed. Jacuzzi tub. Very clean. Fresh fruit and water waiting for us when we arrived. The courtyard is great for an evening aperitivo. The breakfast was very nice, and the breakfast room charming, quaint and ever-so-creatively decorated. Staff and hotel owners so friendly and helpful. And the hotel dog is darling. I would definitely return!

This hotel and location blew us away. The rooms are newly rennovated and absolutely gorgeous - simple yet elegant, and very romantic. Staying in a cave is a must when in Matera and I can't imagine a better cave than Corte San Pietro. The staff were wonderful - tha valet parked our car in a nearby garage for 20 euro, made us a dinner reservation at a fantastic restaurant nearby, and were helpful with everything we needed. The breakfast was the best we had in Italy (way beyond the standard yogurt and cookies). The location is excellent, right in the center of the Sassi and within walking distance to everything in Matera. We were very sad to leave and will definitely return.

Allison, United States of America

Design wise the room was exactly as depicted on their website...junior suite. Some steps in entrance and down to bathroom but overall nicely fitted out. Breakfast very good.

Jose, Australia

Kind and amiable proprietors who ensured that our stay was as pleasant as possible, the room, although the smallest in the complex, was beautifully designed with a very comfortable bed, and nice touches such a fresh fruit and water each day made for a very enjoyable experience. The town is fascinating and great for exploring on your own away from the tour and school group masses, which unfortunately seem to be overwhelming the character and ambience of the sassi.

One of our top picks in Matera.

Set inside the Matera Sassi UNESCO site, Corte San Pietro is housed in a renovated historical building carved out of stone. It offers rooms with a private entrance and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Featuring an elegant yet primitive style, each room is unique and furnished with hand-carved wood and stone items. All rooms have a view on the internal courtyard, where breakfast is served in summer.

Guests at the San Pietro can request to visit an underground system of cisterns probably interconnected during the Second World War. A shuttle service, bike rental and tour desk are also available.

Guests can enjoy discounted rates at a nearby partner car park. Matera Train Station is only 0.6 miles away, and a 5-minute walk will take guests to the town cathedral. Set next to the Parco della Murgia Natural Reserve, the property is 31.1 miles from the Ionian Sea.

This is our guests' favorite part of Matera, according to independent reviews.

This property also has one of the top-rated locations in Matera! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in Matera! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

“Our hosts were very accomodating, and helpful with recommendations and bookings during our stay. The accomodation itself is really special, the cave setting enhanced by the owners fine taste in art, and the quality of the furnishings. Little touches like the romance of lit candles throughout our suite, the underground tour of the cisterns, and the fine breakfast provided each morning made this an unforgettable stay...as the owner said as we left...we are now friends ♡”

“A tasteful B&b set right in the heart of the sassi”

- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

눇This accommodation in the heart of the old town was just so perfect. We drove from Lecce and easily found the parking venue as I had emailed details before arriving. We arrived early but Gianfranco greeted us warmly and gave us a drink in the courtyard. He was really helpful with his advice on where to eat and what to see. He told us about a trattoria in the new town and we had a great evening conversing through google translate with an Italian man on the next table. This was a wonderful start to the friendly people of Matera and this wonderful place. Our room was beautiful with a mezzanine bedroom and sweet sitting area below but the bathroom was to die for. I would love to return in the winter and soak in that big stone bath and the shower was great too. Breakfast was the best by far of all our stays in Puglia. The room that it was served in off the delightful courtyard was cool and calm with candles and soft piano music playing. The young waitress was charming and nothing was too much trouble. You can also wander downstairs to view the original water storage wells. The owners are a lovely friendly couple and their dog is a delight. Anna on reception was so helpful and friendly too and overall we felt like we were part of one big family. This is a B&b that is so much more and it has had a lot of love and thought go into its restoration. The only reason I booked a stay in Matera was because my dear old Dad had asked me to find him a copy of Carlo Levi's book Christ stopped at Eboli. For lovers of history Matera is overflowing with it but aside from that there are lovely bars and restaurants and art galleries to visit. An early morning walk at 6am strolling through the laneways of the sassi and along the gorge was the best time to see it before the heat came.

“Charming, characterful hotel in heart of Matera!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Superior Double Room

눉The only downside I could share was our room (#17) had only a curtain separating the bathroom from the bedroom. If you are sharing a room, you better be comfortable with your travel companions.
눇The hotel is in a great location. Walking distance to restaurants, attractions, shops, etc. The room we stayed in was lovely. Full of character. Lovely stone features keeping with the area. Comfortable bed. Jacuzzi tub. Very clean. Fresh fruit and water waiting for us when we arrived. The courtyard is great for an evening aperitivo.

“A Disappointment”

눉Not worth the money and quite noisy as room was down a laneway. Room not ready on time and we had to wait over 2 hours....not ideal after a long car trip. Owners were extremely nice people and gave us 15% off bill. For the amount we paid we expected better....leaking sink and bathtub, no English channels on TV.
