Our stay at Santa Lucia was truly perfect from start to finish. The property is beautiful — peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature, yet only a short drive from the historic center of Matera. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with directions, restaurant recommendations, or anything we needed. Breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning, with plenty of variety and a lovely atmosphere to start the day.

The Masseria itself is stunning. The rooms are basic but very clean. The pool area is lovely, and the courtyard has beautiful views of the old house built into the rock. We also booked the spa, which was an amazing private experience with steam room, shower, sauna and private pool. 5 minute drive from the Centro Storico.

This resort is about 15 minute drive from the historic district of Matera. I had stayed in the center of town in the other cities we visited in Puglia. I liked the quietness of this location. The room was elegantly furnished with high arching ceiling. The staff was excellent and the breakfast was great.

Driving up to this property we were very sceptical as it is located in an industrial area but passing thru the gates we were blown away the property is beautiful and the staff was friendly. Check in seemed normal we were given a bit of information on the property and even shown how the front gates worked after hours. The one huge drawback is that there is no staff on site after 8pm…which would have been good to know as you are definitely on your own after that! We unfortunately locked our keys in our room and were unable to reach anyone even using the numbers provided and therefore had to spend the night in our car. We received sorry for the inconvenience almost 24hrs after the incident and that was it! It is unfortunate as the property is stunning and the staff for the most part was helpful just don’t find yourself needing ANYTHING after 8pm! Such a shame!

Beautiful place to stay

Lovely place. Room nice, not in main building. Great service, nice breakfast. Lovely swimming pool and loungers. Only downside is that it’s not central so need to drive into town to eat and for sightseeing. Would have been great to have had option to have dinner in the Masseria.

Great spot for car travelers with style and space

2 bedroom apartment was very nice and very clean. Photos look a little austere, but the apartments are well done and very functional with plenty of space. Important to note that the 2 bedroom apartments actually have two bathrooms (one full and one half bath) which is nice so those sleeping on the flip out couch side can use the restroom at night without disturbing those sleeping in the other room. Most of the reviews are spot on - yes, it's in an industrial area, but once you're inside the gates, you could never tell. The grounds are beautiful and the pool is small but nice. Yes, the breakfast was a little short on options, mainly cakes and sweets with some cold cuts, bread and cheese and some basic cereals, but what was there was good.

Highly recommended for your visit to Matera

Beautiful and immaculate setting, we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in this carefully restored farm estate. Breakfast was delicious, enjoyed in the lovely courtyard. Staff were welcoming and helpful in recommending good restaurants close by. Unfortunately it was too cool to enjoy the gorgeous pool. Only a 5 minute drive to the historic part of Matera.

It is an interesting structure built into the rock.
Unfortunately the service was sub-par, the staff was dismissive and lacking manners or the attitude to make your stay enjoable. The other low point is the location: the masseria is in the middle of an industrial zone.
Definitely not worth the money or time.

We had an enjoyable stay here for our visit to Matera. The breakfast is abundant and delicious. Now for the downside of our stay. Our shower head was damaged, and we had water all over our bathroom floor. We visited in early May, and it was hot during this time. They told us air conditioning is not turned on until the end of May, but it clearly states in the description that the rooms are air conditioned. We were very unhappy about this.

On the outskirts with good access to Matera

Our sty at Masseria Santa Lucia was very comfortable. We had some difficulty finding it from the highway, but once we arrived, all was good. We received good recommendations for dining options both inside and outside Matera, as well as great parking and touring directions from Enzo. We enjoyed our stay and would strongly consider returning.

We stayed at Masseria Santa Lucia for five nights. It is in the industrial area of Matera, but as other reviews have mentioned once you get there it is a gem. You do not notice your surroundings. It is very quiet, clean, and comfortable. The pool is beautiful. The breakfast is continental but very good. Since we had rented a car, this was a good base for us to explore the region of Basilicata. It would have been difficult to park in the city center of Matera. We did a walking tour of Matera which we highly recommend and took a cab to the meeting place.

This is an excellent place to stay when you have a car. The grounds are clean and well cared for. The pool is excellent and breakfast in the morning was a good Continental mix. The immediate area around the place is industrial but easy to get to. If you have a car (recommended) it is easy to get to from the highway. It is 10 minutes to the downtown area and parking is very convenient. We had a great time and were able to relax in the middle of the day at the pool while exploring town in the morning and evening.

Perfect stay in a convenient location.

We visited this hotel as part of a road trip and a base to visit Matera. The hotel is very clean and well kept and the staff extremely helpful, upon arrival we were given a list of recommended restaurants and shown all the best spots to view the wonderful historic city which was a great addition.

Our room was clean and modern and very quiet. We had a covered patio with a table and chairs. The bathroom was big and well supplied and the bedroom was very comfy and clean.

The hotel has very safe parking and a pool with bar that were well kept and very clean.

Breakfast was hosted in the reception and outside in their courtyard, it had everything you could ask for and was a lovely stay we would stay again.

I must say it was a truly delightful experience. This hotel is a hidden gem, located just a 9-minute drive away from the historical town of Matera.

The service at Masseria Santa Lucia was nothing short of exceptional; staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The attention to detail and genuine care they exhibited truly made a difference in creating a memorable experience.

One of the standout features of this hotel is the historic building itself, which exudes charm and character. The rooms, designed in a cave-like fashion, perfectly blend the historical elements with modern comfort. The attention to preserving the historical character while providing all the necessary amenities was impressive. It felt like stepping back in time while still enjoying the conveniences of contemporary accommodations.

The hotel's pool area deserves special mention as it is absolutely gorgeous.

Breakfast was included in our stay, which was delicious with a lot of options.

Thank you so much !

Almost perfect!

The pros; the place is beautiful and the pool is fab if the weather is in your favour, especially after a day walking around the town. The room was huge and clean, very comfortable bed. The onsite restaurant is good. The staff are super helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Drinks are a good price.

The cons; the room was very warm at night and the air con only seems to blow warm air, so not the best night's sleep. Also the shower was really bad water pressure, difficult to have a good shower. Breakfast was very poor, there is a lot of room for improvement there.

Lovely building but only 2 stars

Room was basic with no tea/coffee making facilities, poor in room Wi-Fi, a small TV with no English channels.
Room not sound proofed enough to exclude the sound of the barking guard dog or car transporter at the neighbouring car rental compound, nor the sound of a noisy family in the room next door. The room was ill equipped in other ways too - three pillows and one cheap plastic cup in a double room for two people. We also had to request toilet rolls which were forgotten on one day. The in room air conditioning is good.
The hotel is in the middle of a industrial estate. It is visually well screened once you are inside the gates, but traffic and other noise can be heard. It is only 10 minutes drive from the historic centre.
The pool man is surly and he allows furniture to be reserved for the whole day even when not in use. We ordered a sandwich from the same man and witnessed him spending 15 minutes on his phone before starting to prepare our sandwich. The pool is open to non residents, so became very busy at times.
We found communication very difficult with a number of staff members who had very little grasp or understanding of English.
We had very slow service in the restaurant by inexperienced staff who spent a lot of time on their phones. One phone even rang in the pocket of the server at our table! The food was v good, although served on plastic plates, but we cancelled a further dinner booking because of the service and attitude of the servers.

Hidden Gem

Tastefully furnished and well laid-out farmhouse. You really wouldn't expect to find such a piece of tranquility in an otherwise industrial outskirt of the city. The real highlight for us was the restaurant which featured fantastic artworks. The guy who served us was very friendly and helpful and the food was a very high standard.

Beautiful apartment located right downtown next to all Matera has to offer. Everything is walking distance. The apartment is beautifully designed with every amenity we needed.WIFI is great. Our host Nicola greeted us with coffee and was on hand to take care of any request we had. He even arranged for a masseuse to come to the apartment for my girlfriend. There are a few other apartments within the property all with separate entrances and although they where occupied we could not hear the other guests. We highly recommend this property.

Outstandin retreat away from tourists & bustle!

Outstanding! The owners are extremely pleasant and gracious. And they have created a beautiful experience. It's a bit distant from the historic center, so (if you don't drive) you will need to plan your transport. At first I was worried at the distance; but in the end, I was so happy with this location. The proprietors are ready to answer any questions or advise if asked. Lovely service, beautiful rooms and outdoor courtyard. And each room's outdoor seating are a special treat when recovering from a hectic or long day.

Hôtel typique

Un écrin de verdure et de tranquillité en périphérie d'une zone d'activité (que l'on ne ressent pas une fois dans le parc de l'hôtel). Situé à quelques minutes en voiture du centre historique de Matéra cet hôtel est idéal pour visiter la ville et les environs, tout en assurant un séjour au calme.
Les salles et (certaines) chambres autour de la cour sont, pour parties, creusées dans la roche, ce qui donne un charme tout particulier à cet hôtel.
Belle piscine.
Petit déjeuner très copieux.
