The hotel is incredible and the staff is as well. We absolutely loved our stay. It was truly a unique experience. However, guests should know that because the hotel is literally incorporated into the caves, it can be physically demanding climbing all the stone stairs. People with mobility issues will definitely struggle at this hotel

The property is really beautiful and authentic with cave stay . It was an unforgettable experience for us on our anniversary day - they provided us with local wine, and special arrangement in the room with a fruit basket . We absolutely loved everything about the property like rooms with candles, sharing history about the hotel, the location is very central, restaurant in a cave setup was so stunning . We loved the cocktails, light bits there and not to forget a lavish breakfast spread was amazing !!

Thank you to the staff for such a nice customer service .

A “Must - Visit” city and hotel !


Matera is truly a unique spot that you must visit and Sextantio is the place you need to stay at.
We had high expectations for our stay at Sextantio. The pictures of Hotel on the website promised a truly unique and luxurious experience.
They did not disappoint.
The caves are rustic, memorable yet luxurious with ample toiletries and comforts available. The location is incredibly ideal to navigate by foot bus or car..
The breakfast were some of the best I ever had in my life. Lorenzo made us feel part of the family and was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

We were given a warm greeting upon arrival. The staff were all friendly and pleasant to talk with.

Our room was very clean and inviting. There were beautiful candles lit in the bedroom and bathroom. A table was set up with fresh fruit and a pitcher of water. Elegant napkins and tableware were provided.

This property deserves a big thumbs up. Cave rooms were very well designed with a lot of attention to detail (lights, candles, custom shower gels). Breakfast was one of the best I had recently with a lot of local cheese and fruits instead of banal buffet items. Ricotta was simply amazing. Staff was polite and helpful. I would definitely stay again. The only recommendation I would give is that since each room is unique I would put each room and its images separately instead of room category.

Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita is one of the best hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying in, truly unique
& memorable!

The location was perfect for me, on the outer edge of the Sassi with a beautiful view of the Parco della Murgia Materana. Yet a 5 minute hike to the other side of the hill will have you in the heart of Matera. The room was very clean, furnished with rustic original furniture. When lit with the ample candles provided, one can get a very small sense of how people once lived in the Sassi.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had in a hotel, stocked with delicious local foods and serviced by a kitchen which provided cooked-to-order eggs and amazing cappucino.

The Sextantio Group philosophy of the \"Albergo Diffuso\" is enlightening and admirable. Their goal is to provide unique travel experiences while preserving cultural and historical heritage, and the result for the guests is an unforgettable experience.

Home in Sassi Sextantio Delivers Culture & Comfort

Matera is amazing. This hotel is by far one of the best curated hotels in the world. Sextantio revitalization efforts embody the spirit of the ancient world of cave dwellers combined with the rich culture and hospitality the region values. From the minute you arrive the standard of care is excellent. The location is perfect to explore. Get a local guide or take a cooking class. The views are priceless. The modern elements of design built into the candle lit caves are quite extraordinary. Breakfast service is exceptional, the focaccia is some of the best in the world. Staff is exceptionally hospitable and local.

Stunning Grounds, Attentive Staff, Amazing food.

From the valet service on the way in to welcome refreshments, local friendly & knowledgeable staff, amazing local cuisine for breakfast and our parting is such sweet sorrow departure this experience was magical and stunning. The property is immaculately cared for and staff will attend to your every need. The restored grounds and cave rooms are amazing and hands down one of the best sleeps of our 3 week voyage. The surrounding area is walkable and the views/ setting amazing. they offer a private dining experience and in room massage which we did not utilize. We would not hesitate to go back just for that.
Matera has just been awarded European Capital of Culture for 2019 and for good reason. This was easily one of the more unique, magical and true local experiences we had.
We could not recommend this hotel more. Don't hesitate to book.
If you are a focaccia bread fan their focaccia for breakfast could be hands down the best I've had in the world. Local meats and cheeses amazing as well.

This is our second trip. Sextantio is fantastic.
Everything about it is done well, tastefully, and respects it’s surroundings. Fabulous. Even the grapes hanging outside our sassi(cave) smelled intoxicating.
The view immediately outside of La Murgia is immense and thought provoking.
They upgraded us to an executive suite from a superior - thank you for being so thoughtful.

Nothing to dislike! Unique part was that the cave was a renovation of antiquity. Remarkable story, authenticity of the experience, the hard work to not alter the environment yet make it comfortable - even plush - for modern visitors. Staff were exceptional, some from the area who could give first-hand experience describing the recent history. Access to excellent restaurants, natural park across the chasm. Matera itself is a charm, this hotel a perfect introduction to its evolution into a destination worth the detour.

Sextantio review

Great hotel, unique, great staff ( specialty Aman and Cristina ).
However, areas for development: bed was not very confortable and neither were the pillows. A suggestion to consider would be a softer bed and two pillow choices.
An another note Brunella provided a fantastic dinner and the entire hotel staff capt the surprise a secret for a special dinner. Thank you very much. Dr Luis Alvarez and Sandy.

Cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. The friendliness of the staff, the otherworldly cavern room, the meal service, the fireplace at aperitifs, that view... The whole thing felt once in a lifetime.

Magical....

Such an amazing experience...!!!
From start to finish...
Staff are amazing ... so knowledgeable and passionate about the hotel and the whole area...
We were so priveledged to be upgraded to
an amazing suite....I didn't want to leave..
So beautiful and comfortable... candle lit...but also electric sockets for chargers etc...
The adaptation has been done both tastefully and sympathetically..
The whole experience was absolutely fabulous..
The evening drinks and breakfast are served in a very large cave ... which has a very interesting history... breakfast is a banquet..
Can't recommend it enough...
Only one point to make... probably not suitable if youeould find climbing natural uneven, can be slippery, stone stairs.....
Sensible footwear recommended...

Lovely place, fantastic location

Caves very atmospheric. Staff fantastic, extremely helpful. Gorgeous views. Despite heat caves remain cool, only dimly lit with lamps and candles. Beds very comfortable. We had 3 caves. One had bath in room plus a shower, the other two had a bath or shower. Breakfast included which was nice though not a lot of choice.
You will struggle if not very mobile due to steps between levels and uneven cave floors.

GREATEST EVER!!

BEAT HOTEL EXPERIENCE EVER! Living in a 5 star CAVE for two nights was unforgettable. Spiritual, Mysterious, historical. Wonderful service. Do this now before it gets too crowded but be aware that there is a lot of steep climbing.

The most beautiful and romantic hotel!!

We arrived at night...very late and very tired but were insanely blown away by the hotels beauty,
Given a mini tour by the night porter then shown to our room,
Amazing!!
Can't say anything bad about the place it's truly beautiful....if you don't mind steps and a bit of walking book here!!

The only disadvantage is the missus wasn't to happy about the mirrors as there's only small ones (you know what lasses are like)
But me a grown man loved the place and would definitely go back

Do not make a booking with them

An error was made with the date of my booking and although this was explained to them (by myself and Expedia) they have refused to alter my booking and consequently I lost all of my money. They wanted me to pay again (with a small discount!) This is terrible customer service and I have told everyone not to book / stay here.

Wonderful cave room experience

This is one of the most impressive hotel rooms we had. The cave room is fantastically romantic. It's quite convenient to walk to the city centre and it's very quiet during the night. Highly recommended!

Where do I start? I have too many amazing things to say about this 'hotel'
We arrived around 10pm and were given a tour and told the history of the caves and this hotel they must've been waiting for us to arrive but we were not rushed at all! Given a free upgrade to our room which was just phenomenal! So cosy and warm and everything so intimately designed to keep the cave 'genuine' it was so beautiful we could've stayed in the cave all weekend and not gone outside!
Breakfast was lovely and all local produce but you can request eggs etc if you want - we didn't. The coffee was to die for!!
The staff went out of their way to help you and were so genuine and friendly! We asked for a map and woo it asking the lady highlighted places of interest and what times they were open til so we wouldn't miss out.
I could go on forever about this amazing place!!!

A beautiful, well-equipped cave with a view!

Unique and beautiful stay in a series of cave rooms, allowing us to fully experience Matera, Italy. Every single staff person was top-notch -- helpful and pleasant and knowledgeable. Fabulous breakfast. Only downside was the cost for parking, but it was worth it to conveniently get rid of the car in Matera, which is tough for driving and parking. I would highly recommend Sextantio and HOPE I will be able to visit again!

Wonderful and totally different experence

We saw the hotel on Alex Polizzi's tour of Italy TV programme and wanted to stay. The hotel is exactly as described n that the rooms are actually caves. We had no windows, cobble stone floors, very few lights and lots of candles. We had a bath and no shower. This I believe is consistent for the majority of the rooms and is part of the appeal in that the hotel keeps its original feel. It is an enchanting and fantastic place to stay for one evening but if you want a plush room with all mod cons then this is not for you. The service of the staff was fantastic as was the breakfast.

Great hotel, unique experience

Very interesting hotel and an amazing experience. Great location and very friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast of all fresh and locally produced items. Great selection as well. We agreed it could benefit from an outdoor space or terrace/lounge to have a place for guests to sit and mingle overlooking the beautiful view. It could also be improved if there was a turn-down service, just someone to provide fresh towels and re-light the candles in the evening. Otherwise, great experience and would recommend it to other travelers.

STAY HERE......UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE,

IT IS WORTH GOING TO MATERA TO STAY AT THIS HOTEL! Unbelievable! We loved it! Breakfast was fantastic.... You are sleeping in a cave....how much better can it get! Very convenient to everything. Also.....there are a couple of really unique dining experiences in MATERA that the hotel can book for you.......and it would be worth emailing them ahead of time for information. We tried to book the day of, but we're too late.
