Everything was really fantastic, the location is breathtaking, the breakfast was good, the aperitivo very nice and romantic. We loved our room and the whole experience is truly unique. Tons of great places to eat in Matera, too.
United States of AmericaUnfortunately we did not have the opportunity to take breakfast. We loved our room (nr 4) en the view, setting, it was amazing!!!
BelgiumWe were in a cave. So unusual but so worth the experience. The staff of Marco and Emilia were very helpful.
United States of Americalocation was amazing....staff was fantastic, and willing to do what ever was needed....Unique experience
United States of AmericaHow different the experience was. To see the renovation of these caves. The restoration of furniture
United States of AmericaUnique rooms, huge options for breakfast, free bottle of wine in room, friendly staff, car service (parking garage included in room rate)
United States of AmericaVery unique stay! Definitely a high end rustic experience. Worth noting that the room does smell like a cave if you have any issues with that.
United States of AmericaThis is an outstanding property that has been beautifully restored as part of a brilliant project to bring out Matera’s history and make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The superior room cave we stayed in was huge and extremely clean, with everything we could possibly need. The soft lighting and candles were perfect, as was the bathtub with glass bottles for shampoo/body wash and the other bathroom amenities. I loved the furniture table set with a tablecloth, dishes, cups, and the bowl of fresh fruit with a nice bottle of wine. This all really added to the experience. We also enjoyed the sunset aperitivo with the breathtaking view. The breakfast was some of the best we’ve had. Most of all, the staff were the kindest and welcoming, they all felt like family. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to check out their other property!
United KingdomThe location of this hotel and the staff were both fantastic. It was very clean and had a comfy bed. Staying in the cave was an awesome experience. Bathtub was beautiful, but you should be aware that it is your only way to bathe, there’s no shower.
United States of AmericaWonderfully romantic. Unique experience to stay in cave dwelling. The breakfast spread was outstanding. The staff very informative and helpful.
