the facilities, location, service was fantastic. the guidance provided to arrive with the transfer from the car park was super clear and efficient and cheap. the staff offered great suggestions for dining and the breakfast was super. could not fault the experience.

the entire experience was magnificent. Staying in a cave in the old city with excellent rooms and very helpful staff.

The hotel consists of a series of caves carved into the limestone hundreds of years ago, but thoroughly updated. Each room is totally unique. A wonderful breakfast buffet is served in a large cave that once served as a church. The only downside is that it is a hike to get to the room, and so the hotel is not appropriate for the disabled or those with medical issues. The location couldn’t be better and each room has panoramic views.

What a magical place. Arrived to candlelit spacious cave room. The staff were so professional, kind and clearly knowledgeable about Matera and it's history.

This was a fantasy cave room which was fully lit by only candlelight upon our afternoon arrival. It was incredible. The staff is incredible. We had a private dinner in the cave church our first night which was absolutely fantastic! Every single thing about this hotel and our stay here surpassed our very high expectations!!

This was an amazing experience and stay. The property is authentic, unique and beautiful. Our room had a beautiful view over the Sassi and Park with a lovely private balcony. The cave room was lit up by candlelight a and was extremely comfortable. Bathing in a cave by candlelight was truly special. The staff here is extraordinary providing a level of personal service that is rare these days. They not only booked and arranged our Covid testing but arranged a driver to take us and bring us back. Anything we requested they handled immediately from restaurant reservations to mass schedules.

Historical hotel with a lot of character. Truly an amazing experience. The staff was really friendly and helpful! You definitely are paying for the experience. We were upgraded by the hotel to an executive Suite which was stunning. The cave was all original dated with touch of modern set up which we loved.

What an amazing place!!! Our room was in a cave felt like stepping back in time but with all the comfort and amenities of a modern hotel. Great location short walk up the hill to see the sights of Matera.

Breakfast was outstanding, the room was exactly as described including a large outdoor terrace with a nice view over the Parco della Murgia. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. The room amenities were all very comfortable and authentic.

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.
