Olya
The hotel is absolutely incredible and the location is breathtaking. Lovely breakfast, luxury rooms, very helpful staff. Would love to come back and stay again here.
Turlough
Wow, wow, wow!! What an enchanting place in an enchanting city. The cave room was out of this world. The staff were just lovely. The breakfast was excellent. An absolute highlight
George
Excellent hotel, we stayed in one of the suites. The room was stunning, there are a few quirks to being set in a cave, but it’s part of the experience. Perfect location, the hotel is close walking distance to lots of excellent restaurants yet far enough away to avoid most of the foot traffic. Staff are very friendly, and helpful. When visiting Matera again I will 100% return here. 10 out of 10
Sophie
Amazing experience staying in cave in the Sassi. Breakfast was fantastic and staff were really helpful!
Christie
This was my favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Amazing in every way! Would only wish that we could have stayed longer!
Timothy
Very clean room, helpful staff, great location and wonderful breakfast
kelley
Wonderful! This is the most unique hotel we’ve ever stayed. Matera is pretty special and this hotel 💯 adds to the charm. It’s old world feeling but with all the modern things we love. A great common area, daily (and plentiful) breakfast and beautiful patio to enjoy their wine and charcuterie. They welcomed us with a glass of wine which was classy after a long car ride.
Great bedding/pillows/towels and daily housekeeping.
We slept with our window open every night (3 total) and you could hear a pin drop the town is so quiet.
Convenient to everything and lots of good restaurants close by.
I would use their car service recos … we used Uber and they are not as familiar with Matera which is difficult to drive, park etc.

Loved this hotel. Arrival was warm, welcoming and we had a lovely welcome drink. We then went to our room (room 8, a superior double). It was absolutely stunning. We had 3 balconies with magnificent views over the caves.
Breakfast was within a cave (our room wasn’t - although was still sandstone and beautiful, without the damp issues of being in a cave!) - with a lovely choice including ample gluten free options. The lady who served us at breakfast was so kind, friendly and made us feel welcome every morning.
We also ate at Radino one night and had a lovely meal. It was our only non Michelin guide or Michelin star meal and it exceeded our expectations so we’d recommend this.
It will always hold a special place in our hearts as it is where my boyfriend proposed to me - on our balcony, just us in the middle of Matera - totally magical. You must visit Matera and we’d highly recommend you stay here

Wonderful stay! The staff were very helpful and polite and the house wine were really good. If I would come back to Matera, I would love to stay here again!
James
Great location, lovely room and hotel facilities. Recommend the sister restaurant also! Thanks for a good stay!
Frank
Beautiful, unique cave rooms
Jeffrey
Unbelievable experience! Every element was so well thought out. The decor, the breakfast buffet, right down to the room keys. Everything made you feel like you were in a truly curated experience. Don't miss out on this gem!
Kelly
Our stay at Palazzotto Residence and Winery was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Irene made us feel welcome with her warmth and hospitality. She greeted us with glasses of wine and snacks on the beautiful patio, which was such a fthoughtful and memorable touch after a long day of travel.
She then showed us to our apartment, and we were genuinely blown away. The space was huge, beautifully designed, spotless, and comfortable. It had absolutely everything we needed for our stay.
The breakfast was another highlight. The ladies serving breakfast were so kind and welcoming, and there was a wonderful variety of foods to choose from. Everything felt fresh and high quality.
Finally, checkout was easy and straightforward, making the entire experience seamless from beginning to end.
The service and hospitality here truly stand out. Everyone made us feel genuinely cared for, and it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable stays of our trip to Italy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Matera.

Beautiful property in a great location in the sassi. Beautiful rooms, really wonderful staff. Highly recommended ! ♥️
Andrea
Spectacular property with helpful staff. Unique, imaginative room and bath arrangement. For us (me 82kg and my spouse 66kg) the bed was very hard and difficult to sleep on. This is a personal preference however, and a very, very firm bed may be preferred.
Scot
Great stay in a great location. Everything went perfect with nothing but good surprises!! Would recommend!
Nicola
We loved our stay and could not fault the service, food or our room. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the restaurant on our first night. Such a calm setting for the perfect quiet escape and an easy drive to some of Puglia’s finest tourist destinations.
We will be sure to return again.

Beautiful place! Magical!!
Kemps
O hotel é realmente uma experiência. Se hospedar dentro de uma caverna é algo único. O quarto era bem amplo e confortável, com ótimo chuveiro. Toda a equipe muito atenciosa, gentil e prestativa. Nossa estadia foi incrível. O hotel ficava bem próximo de alguns pontos a se considerar, como mercado.
Eduardo
Extraordinary staff, wonderful room, great location and top service. What else can I ask for!
Eunjoo
The room was super clean, the staff were really friendly, and the welcome wine was amazing. We switched room types between the first and second night, and this one had awesome natural light and great heating. Only thing was the water pressure—it was a bit low. Still, I’d totally come back here!
Ana
It was an amazing experience . Matera and the hotel had so much to offer .
Wonderful experience stayong on a cave .

I visited based on a friend’s recommendation and stayed in two different room types over two days. The room conditions, scent, ambiance, and interior design all captured the essence of Matera perfectly. It was even better than a 5-star hotel. The welcome drink was excellent, the reception staff were incredibly kind, and the breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended!
Hu Eliot
Exceedingly pleasant staff!

Tutto era Benissimo!
Donna
A delightful stay at an unusual, quirky but wonderful hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Lovely wine too! So quiet and convenient to everything including diverse choice of great eateries. Loved Matera! Shuttle service and parking was also efficient. Definitely recommend Il Palazzotto.
Elizabeth
Gorgeous property, highly recommend. The only thing lacking (a little, not a reason to pass on this beautiful property) - but breakfast is included from 830 to 1030. We got there at 9 and many items were out. No eggs no bacon and some pasties with empty plates.
Hind
Amazing hotel! Love the rooms and the view. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. They offered us transportation from the parking to the hotel. And the location was excellent, close to everything. Breakfast was ok tho
Karen
Our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! I truly cannot recommend enough. Antonio and Martina, Marrise…not sure of spelling…and staff did everything to make our stay warm and welcoming. If you have time do not miss out on their restaurant and wine… in almost two weeks in Italy … our top picks.
Nancy
Antonio was excellent in welcoming us and helping us to make parking arrangements for our car. His assistance with shuttle contacts was superb.
Priscila
Excellent hotel in Matera
We really enjoy our stay at Il Palazzoto. The room was very beautiful and comfortable , very kind service , we highly recommend
Claire
Beautiful hotel and well located
Beautiful cave room, very spacious. Hotel residence itself was stunning, with beautiful dining area for breakfast and communal couch area. Highly recommend for a Matera stay. Lovely wine from their winery too.
Johanna
A great find
Lovely stay staying in a truly unique room. Great location, highly recommend.
Mariella
Il Palazzotto in Matera is an absolute GEM! From the breathtaking cave lobby and dining area to our spacious, beautifully decorated room, every detail was charming and elegant. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a glass of Palazzo Zimara Susumaniello, so exquisite it was unforgettable! Breakfasts were delightful, the boutique rupestrian style combined with modern comforts and the incredible Sassi location, made our stay truly exceptional. Viviana, Irene, and Antonio’s warm, and impeccable hospitality completed a perfect experience. Thank you all!! We will wholeheartedly recommend this magical hotel to friends and family!
Anthony
Historic place. LOved it.
sara
A very special place - both the accommodations and the main reception and dining areas. Worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime cave experience.
The staff was lovely and really elevated a great stay to exceptional. Antonio, the manager, was brimming with enthusiasm for his city and the hotel, sharing history of both. He recommended the fantastic Osteria al Casale restaurant on the cliffside for dinner which served excellent food and was nicely away from the hordes. Maristella is as sweet as she is adorable. So helpful and gracious.
The included breakfast was ample and there was quite a variety, from savory options to pastries. The dining room is stunning. Loved it!
We stayed in the family apartment which exceeded expectations. The main room is spacious even with sofa bed opened. There is a separate sitting area with another sofa and coffee table which was very useful. The sofa bed was comfortable and big enough for two teens to fit comfortably. The master bedroom was roomy and the bed super comfortable. It was only missing a full length mirror. Adding a barn door on the master bedroom to provide privacy from kids staying in the main area would be a bonus. There is also a kitchenette with refrigerator in the apartment.
The bathroom is modern and functional. The shower is small so I shared with the manager that a shelf is needed to hold shampoo/soap. This is really the only critique on an otherwise magical place. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Villa Puolo. The staff was outstanding! Enzo cooked for us one night and it was fabulous! Gessica helped us with taxis and our every need and Maria and Asunti treated us like family. There is a small marina right down the hill with cute restaurants, including La Taverna, which was a highlight.

Lovely accommodations and great people

We stayed here in April 2025 and absolutely loved it! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with anything we needed. They also provided excellent recommendations for walking around the city, including some sites to see and dining options in the area. The rooms are quiet, comfortable and include everything you might need. Be warned as they are true caves, there is little to no ventilation though it creates perfect sleeping temperatures as you don't have the sun baking in your windows. We absolutely cannot wait to stay here again!

Beautiful small hotel.
It is really a superb hotel. In Matera to be able to sleep in a room \"cave\" is quite special. The room #5 is large and had everything we needed except a big mirror. The only one was a small square one in the open bathroom above the lavabo and the lighthening was more romantic then useful there! I know it is not the same in every room as every room has a special design and decoration. The reception and the breakfast room are also beautiful. We loved the big terrasse where we could enjoy the sun and a drink at the end of the afternoon. Well situated in the city center. A place to discover!

Beautifully stylish and unique one of a kind room
Beautifully stylish and unique rooms from the converted caves of Matera. Every detail has been thought of and taken care of. The robes are fluffy, the towels were beautiful quality and the bed was sublimely comfortable. `even the wine supplied in the room which is the winery’s own is delicious. `thoroughly recommend.

El hotel es espectacular, la habitacion familiar de 4 personas increiblemente bella, no tiene parking, les recomiendo llegar en auto al hotel y dejar las maletas para luego ir al parking que queda a 8 min en auto.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Our room in a cave was unique and beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We did a private wine tasting which included wines made at their winery and a lot of good local history; their sister restaurant also was great for dinner. The location is perfect, easily walkable to the entirety of Matera.
Robyn
We loved our stay in Matera and so glad I chose II Palazotto as our home for 2 nights. The room was amazing, was a wonderful experience sleeping in a cave! Beautifully designed and had everything you needed. Breakfast was great and met some other lovely guests during our stay. Staff were friendly and the wine was very good. Enjoyed a dinner at their restaurant which is situated at the other side of town. There is only a few steps up to the accomodation from the street. We travelled to Matera by car and left it at car park about 6km away and they have a shuttle service that drops and picks you up from the door which was super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend a stay here and especially a visit to Matera it was a WOW for us!

Excellent property and location. The experience of the cave room was different and fun. The hotel coordinated with a parking garage our car and even used it in the middle of our stay drive to Gravina and Albarobello. Matera is beautiful and has great restaurants (we recommend Austin in front of Agustine church).

Immersed in history and luxury
Great location . We stayed in the family room / cave which was great for three of us … a short stroll to breakfast and right in the heart of Matera . The glass of wine on arrival was wonderful ( we ended up buying bottles to take with us ). The walk into the canyon / over the swing bridge and up the other side was steep but worth the view .

Amazing rooms, great location in the old part of Matera.
Linda
Very unique property. Staying in cave was an adventure. Each room is different according to the cave structure. Lovely welcome, wonderful staff. Thoughtful front desk, they go out of their way to take care of all needs and reservations for dining and sightseeing.
Phil
Excellent on all levels and we will recommend to all.
Thomas
Stunning property. Breakfast in the cave was a unique experience. Our room was perfect. The location in the center of Matera enabled us to walk the whole city. And what a city. Would definitely stay here again.
Luciana
There is nothing like staying in a Cave a beautiful a well designed and decorated place to stay. Ah what an experience.

This hotel was booked for a 2 night stay as a novelty. Was a cave now a very well done hotel bedroom but it needs air conditioning on all the time and air humidifier. We had no windows! also we booked a car transfer from the airport to the hotel. No show! Hotel said the taxi driver forgot. We had to take an airport taxi at an extra €40 no offer to assist we were just told by the hotel not our fault!
Lisa Hoy
Absolutely one of our most unique travel experiences ever right in the middle of a world UNESCO site. The property was stunning and staying in an actual cave was a real experience. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, the breakfasts were amazing, and when we arrived we were greeted with a glass of wine to welcome us. We would highly recommend!
John
This property was a fantastic choice for our visit to Matera. Our cave room was lovely, and each room is unique. The staff were helpful, and the common areas are just as unique as the individual rooms. There were minor inconvenience within our room as far as storage options of belongings and toiletries, and getting in and out of your room can be challenging, but very minor in comparison to the experience. HIGHLY recommend this property.
Nathalie
Wonderful place with nice terrace. The staff was very kind and offer us a wellecome drink. We will come back !
Jonah
Very unique cave room - lots of character! Very nice breakfast - generally very relaxing atmosphere

Best place in town
Our stay in this hotel was wonderful! The place is amazing, you get to experience an immerse adventure of the Matera spirit. The rooms was beyond beautiful and the service and food… just excellent! Definitely a MUST stay in this gorgeous city.
Reinhart
The cave is humid, therefore there is some strange smell but it's okay. Everything else is very good
Christian
Wonderfully done to give you the true feeling of “cave living” with a very upscale feel. Can’t say enough about the hospitality, fantastic hosts.
Lorraine
Loved this hotel in Matera amazing place. Staff very pleasent
Stefanie
The rooms at Il Palazzotto are extremely unique. The actual room was huge and open. Pure beauty.
Gisselle
We stayed in a family suite and although it was big I will not recommended to anyone. The toilet is so small and the water leaked to the whole floor all the way towards the kitchen. Breakfast is below the par and we didn’t feel the warm hospitality. From the reception we knew already we made a mistake on booking here. They were unresponsive. We should have stayed in sextantio. We didn’t slept well as the humidifier kept of making loud noise so if your a light sleeper it will wake u up and it happens multiple times. The reception just suggested to turn it off. Turning that off at night will make whole room smell since it’s a cave. Damasco parking they suggest is good but the shuttle we encountered does not have aircon. On a very hot weather we were very disappointed. Charged all premium you want but you must deliver. For this case it was an overall failure. We regret staying here.
Jerry
Amazing hotel built in the rocky caverns of Matera's old town. Great location, close to restaurants and shopping and Duomo. Giuseppe's Wine Tasting at the hotel was a highlight of our trip. We will be back!
Simone
A luxury stay in a matera cave. This property is class. The location is so convenient to be dropped off by a driver as you can’t take a car into Sassi area. Having breakfast in the amazing cave room is so memorable. They also do wine tastings on site which we found really informative and delicious. You won’t be disappointed by your stay here.
Alexandre
Wonderful hotel
Beautiful, comfortable, great location, friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend to friends. I could suggest a valet parking (even paid).
Nicola
Wonderful
We had the most wonderful stay at Palazzotto. The property and the rooms are beautiful and unique, and the service is kind and attentive. We received clear instruction on how to park, and on arrival we were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine. We had the chance to enjoy an aperitivo on their terrace enjoying a beautiful view of Matera - totally recommended! Matera is also a beautiful town with a very interesting history, definitely worth a stop!

Magical Matera
Totally amazing. This property is incredible. And go to Dedalo restaurant when you stay here.
Heidi
Unique and beautiful hotel in Italy’s oldest town. Newly remodeled, absolutely gorgeous, right in the center of the sassi. Can’t say enough—5⭐️!!

Great room to experience the Matera life that was.
Super hotel, such a special experience.

This place is so amazing! As is the town. There are not words to describe the uniqueness of it. The complimentary breakfast was beautiful. Giuseppe greeted us sith a delicious glass of wine and was so informative. We can not wait to visit again!
Frederick
All around amazing
My stay here was all around fantastic. The hotel is made from the the Neolithic caves. But these aren't your grandmother's caves. These caves have been refitted into beautiful, modern, amazingly-comfortable spaces. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk prepared me for parking considerations the day before I checked in. I easily found off site parking for €25 with a a €10 taxi service to the hotel. I know that's expensive, but it was well worth it.
The city is is unbelievable. The hotel location is right in the middle of of the historic section called The Sassi. You do not need a vehicle for a visit to this City. I only stayed one night but I think one could easily spend 3 nights here and still leave things for the next visit.
On the morning I checked out the front desk provided me with complimentary coffee while I waited for the taxi.

A Very Special Holiday
I’ll Palazzotto was breathtaking! I have stayed in many beautiful places, but this may be the best! It’s style and detail made me feel as though I was walking into a very special world. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Also, every corner was so clean! I hope to be back someday and stay in room 3!
ENRICO P
Nice location.
Julia
Amazing ambiance and great staff
Unique hotel with comfy beds. The staff was very courteous and went above and beyond to help us during our stay. Offsite parking was very easy and the shuttle took us right to the hotel entrance. Would definitely stay again!
Dana
Beautiful looking hotel that gives you the vibe and feelings of staying in Matera. As a hotel, I would suggest offering slippers since this is a cave and your feet get dirty. Also would enjoy more hooks for towels, a seat outside to look at the view, etc
Davide
Experience for once in your life
Il Palazzotto in Matera is an experience. It is a grotto style room and something to experience once in your life. Service was amazing, very kind and welcoming. The room was really pretty. We just did not realize the bathroom was fully opened (as in no walls) and it was a bit incovenient for us, being a couple of friends. Furthermore we found it quite cold (being a stone room) and this caught us by surprise. Overall happy though. Thank you very much
Mary
Absolutely beautiful hotel - perfect location!
This is one of the most amazing hotels I’ve stayed at in Italy. The staff are wonderful, the room was like sleeping in a cave (traditional style to the city of Matera)…. Highly recommend!!!
Helen
Beautiful property in lovely city. Fabulous room with 3 balconies
