Absolutely incredible hotel - the best I've ever stayed in by far - was blown away by the room - other reviews have mentioned that the room was humid and damp, but it really wasn't, there's a powerful dehumidifier that you can leave running while you're out and about which cancels out the humidity caused by the hot tub. The hot tub was very easy to use, the temperature could easily be changed, and they supplied bath robes and slippers to wear. We stayed in the room with a hot tub and a terrace, would 100% recommend spending the extra money on getting that room, it's well worth it. The staff were very efficient with cleaning the room, very unintrusive, we never had them knocking on the door or anything, and whenever we'd return to the hotel, even if we'd only been gone 40 minutes, they'd already have the room perfect again. Exceptional location, the view from the terrace is amazing, and everything in the Sassi is a short walk away. The staff were so helpful and kind, really made us feel at home, they were very accommodating. Organised a taxi for us to our bus upon departure, and had breakfast ready for us when we mentioned we'd be checking out earlier than their usual times Will 100% be returning, wish we had booked in for longer than the 3 nights.

The staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. The whole vibe they've created there is wonderful, and it meshes perfectly with the inherent charm of the place. I would love to return some day.

We loved that our room was located in the caves! It felt really special. We also greatly appreciated how caring and attentive the hotel staff was.

Although we did not have facilities to make our own coffee, whenever we asked for one from reception it was provided for us there and then.

The room we booked included a jacuzzi and a small private terrace. The view from the balcony was amazing. You could directly see how old Matera developed over the years making the Hotel's location very central. The facilities in the room were very good. The breakfast selection was good and the staff were amazing! We will definitely return and stay at l'Hotel in Pietra!

Difficult to find. Horrible parking nightmare but worth it in the end. No hot water and the room was far too hot. In fairness it did cool down to a comfortable temperature and the hotel even offered tto move us to an upgraded room but it was hotter than the one we were in.

Stunning hotel in a great location. Truly a wonderful and unique experience. Breakfast was very good and I was even allowed to climb down and visit the original cistern under the floor!

Excellent staff, lovely people! It is very safe, comfortable for solo travellers as well as families! Immaculate cleanness and wonderful view from my room. I wish I could have stayed more in this hotel, and I am already planing a visit again. The owner of the hotel and the staff were so generous and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone both travel alone or as a group. Excellent!

The exhaust fan for the internal bathroom was noise at night, so we just cut the power and it was good.

The staff were incredibly friendly and could not do enough to help you. Great location in Sassi. Breakfast was really good.

Breakfast was so-so. DO PACK LIGHT! No more than a carry on suitcase. Anywhere you stay in Matera will be a challenge getting to. Underground public parking garage is reasonably near by.

Great location overlooking the old town. Incredible views, especially at night. Memorable. The jacuzzi hot tub in the room was most welcome after walking all day.

Wonderful hotel, built into an old church. We enjoyed our cosy room with view on the Sasso and staff was very helpful in teaching us how to move around the center.

Location was just right, not too far from where our transfer dropped us off. Our room’s private balcony has a great view of the sassi.

A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Sassi. If you are looking for an authentic "grota" experience, this is it. The room had a very high ceiling and was very cosy. The staff was very helpful, the lobby is also very nice. In front of the hotel there is an amazing view of the old town. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

The staff were very welcoming, showed us how to use the spa facilities in the room and recommended places to visit and eat. One of the best rooms I have ever stayed in, definitely added to the Matera experience.

Tip: Caves are humid places. Do not even try to hand-wash clothes and expect them to dry!

We were excited to stay in a cave/hotel during our trip to Matera and l'Hotel di Pietra did not disappoint! We had a beautiful, large room with jacuzzi and sauna that was breathtaking. The staff was very helpful and the communal breakfast area in the main lobby area was very good as well! The hotel was a few minute walk from a main piazza and the center of town. From the entrance to the property we had a great view of the Duomo and the Sassi. Matera was magical and staying at Pietra complemented our Matera experience.

what a wonderful small hotel! The staff was very helpful to show on a map what important things to see. This was great because we didn't want to do any tours. The breakfast was lovely. The room was huge.

This hotel is absolutely amazing - classy, beautiful, lovely in every way. We felt pampered with excellent service and our room was unique, comfortable and wonderful. We loved the really wonderful breakfast (sweet and savory, so many choices, everything very tasty). We wished we could stay longer!

The plastic mattress protector which crackled when you move and is sweaty at night.

Everything. For once a hotel that truly merits the title boutique hotel.

Found a few ants in my bed, but being in a cave like structure, I kind of expected it.

I stayed in the tiny single room at the front, and it was really small, but as a solo traveller, it was fine. The staff were really friendly and were kind enough to help carry my super heavy luggage up the stairs upon leaving. There was light jazz music in the room, which was a very nice, classy touch. They also offered a laundry service for 15eu. There are a lot of stairs but the hotel was quite close to the entrance of the old village and nice restaurants nearby. It was quiet most of the time, and it was nice to sit out on the patio under the stars at night.

The lobby was beautiful and atmospheric, a nice place to relax and have a drink. The staff was friendly and helpful indicating on their map route suggestions up and down the winding paths in Matera and also transportation options when I left for my next town. The view outside the lobby front door is spectacular-a view across to the Duomo. Breakfast had a nice selection of food.

Nothing, I look forward to the next stay!

Wonderful stay from check-in to departure. The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff were welcoming and very helpful, offering tips on activities and places to visit. The single room is tiny but perfect for a one-night stay, with a great view of the cathedral.
