An exceptional experience, cave rooms are beautifully done. Lovely staff. Great agreement with local car park and provide shuttle to hotel. Great position to explore Matera. Just be aware, unsurprisingly, the cave rooms are quite damp.

Unique cave living experience in the centre of historic Matera. Very nice breakfast!! Parking arrangements worked well!

unbelievably beautiful, wabi sabi rooms. an honour to stay in a space that has been inhabited for 1000s of years. staff could not have been more helpful or inviting.

original elegant styling with the history restored

The most fabulous stay- this hotel is like no other we had stayed at; the location is surreal, set within the stone/ caves it felt like stepping back in time without losing the luxury of a hotel. Set within the UNESCO area the hotel has kept the charm of the area, with candles, original keys and other small touches. The breakfast was incredible with a large array of fruits, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cereals, traditional cakes, breads etc. The staff provided an impeccable service, providing recommendations for restaurants, the room was spotless and extra touches provided for our honeymoon.

The location was great. Beautiful, exceptional accommodation in a cave. Minimalistic and lovingly decorated with original materials. Bathtub in the room and underfloor heating. Delicious breakfast and very friendly stuff.

Super unique room, no alternative around the world. Tasty breakfast. Kind staffs!

Excellent breakfast and very unique property. Domenico the tour guide was excellent!!!

Fascinating and beautiful - unusual and adventurous. Not for those who want the regular 4 walls of a five star hotel experience.

Authenticity. Breakfast galore!!! Very accommodating staff THE BED... best sleep I had since I was a baby. The candle lights and sound proof cave contributed to the magic too! Accessibility for dropoff and pickup using toktok.
