Alisa United States of America

Staying at Corte San Pietro was a dream come true for me as I had always wanted to stay in a cave. My expectations were more than fulfilled! The rooms were extremely spacious, beautifully decorated in monochromatic earth tones, clean and comfortable. In the heart of Matera Corte San Pietro was THE place to stay. Our hosts were more than helpful, gracious and kind. The taxi service with the garage made coming and going from the hotel extremely easy. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend Corte San Pietro!

Patty United States of America

This property was fabulous. Great location, outstanding host, nice breakfast, beautiful accommodations.

Robert United States of America

Talk about a man cave! This hotel is the ultimate couples' cave: first-rate decor and amenities, huge bathroom, comfy bed. Plus the breakfasts were first-rate and the location is walking distance to everything. Best of all, Angelo and Giuseppe at the front desk went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Case in point, when I couldn't get my Rapid Test to work on my phone, they came to the rescue with a local pharmacy appointment right away. Batman and Robin couldn't have done it better!

Randy United States of America

the general style was super, the breakfast very good, served in a very nice room, high quality food. Relatively small B&B but with a service of a 4 star hotel
