The place with the great atmospere, real grot but with all possible comfort. The service was wonderful and it was the best choise to celebrate my birthday in this hotel. If the weather is fine you can breakfast on terrace with stunning view. If I could I would rate all 12 point from 10 to this hotel.

Special experience in staying at caves, going back in time machine. Great location, walking distance to everywhere. Good surprising breakfast.

What a treat to have one night in this fantastic hotel! My stay at Sextantio was everything I'd hoped it would be and was a perfect way to cap off my Italy trip. Emilia and Marco at the front desk were extremely hospitable. They upgraded me to a stunning cave and made sure everything was perfect, including when I had a bus travel snafu the next morning and reached out to them hoping for assistance. Fresh fruit and local wine awaited in the room, and breakfast options were luxurious. (Tip: the best food of my trip was at nearby restaurant Soul Kitchen.) Unfortunately the hillside sassi were inaccessible in Feb. 2018 due to renovations to the access bridge, but the location was otherwise perfect for exploring the Civita and other parts of Matera. Highly recommended and worth the splurge.

The room was in a cave what had underfloor heating so very cosy and warm as we went in March with fixed weather. Beautiful candles to light the room. Water fruit ready for us when we arrived in our room. Gorgeous egg shaped bath with heavenly liquid bath soap. The bed was very comfy. Very romantic room with a lovely atmosphere. And when you walked out of your door in front of you was the most wonderful gorge and behind you The fantastic city of Matera ! What more could you want !

Amazing breakfast, great staff. Book a cave room. Take tour with Renato that they recommend. One in a lifetime thrill. Beautiful breathtaking city. Some steps up and around but still convenient to attractions. Steps may be a problem to get up top but you can get a taxi. Better off if you are mobile. I would return most definitely. Recommended hair dress who was great also. 5 stars, so special. Just amazing in every way possible. Great bathtub also.nice toiletries, very romantic and quiet. Staff very accommodating.

We splurged for the larger cave room - it was worth every penny, had a gorgeous view, and the sleek modern tub had its own candle-lit room. GORGEOUS. Breakfast was exceptional, as others have indicated. Just know that if you are staying here, you will have to climb at least two sets of stairs any time you leave or enter your room. We knew this going in, as it is the Sassi of Matera, after all.

What an amazing place to stay, in a cave but one with all comforts you need. Really romantic and atmospheric, with helpful staff too. The views across the valley are breath taking. Did not want to check out.

Staff were extremely attentive and catered for our every need. We enjoyed taking morning coffee and fresh juice in the courtyard overlooking the mountains. Breakfast selection was insanely good local produce served in the candle lit church. We expected our cave room to be great and it surpassed all our expectations. A truly magical trip.
