This place is perfect. It is in a perfect spot. Very cool rooms. Very helpful staff. Great views. Easy to navigate from the hotel to anywhere in old Matera. Thank you!
Marla
Fabulous small hotel with some of the best customer service I have experienced.
Maeli
Shuttle service to wherever you need to go. Very convenient for the hot summer months!
Wonderful shower, quiet room.
Wonderful shower, quiet room.
Frank
An amazing spotlessly clean room. An Amazing delicious breakfast.
Staff and Chefs were wonderful. My husband got up to pick some fresh basil from the plant just outside on patio ( Was so hot we ate inside )
To add to his fresh eggs and tomatoes !
We called Giuseppe when we arrived in Matera and as stated he was there in 10 mns to pick us up. Linens, bedding and shower facilities excellent, ultra modern!
If you have any mobility issues all Matera might be difficult to maneuver around but if not it feels like you are in a movie scene. Thank You Giuseppe & Hotel Basiliani

Incredible place, unforgettable Matera, must visit!
Eloika
The location of Brasiliani is incomparable, in the heart of the Sassi, but on the very edge of the ravine and the uninhabited Sassi area. It is stunning, quiet and walkable. The staff are lovely, and shuttle you from the car parking area. The breakfast is soooo good. Honestly, it was amazing.
Haley
We loved our stay at here. Hotel is in a great location with an amazing view on the ravine and the oldest part of Matera. Restaurants in walking distance and well placed within the city. Staff was SUPER helpful, even helping us through a crazy situation when our rental car was almost towed from the free parking because of a misunderstanding about when it would close for the city to mow. Thank goodness their shuttle driver was there to translate the situation to the police! They even offered to pay the ticket we got since they had suggested this parking (not knowing that the city would be closing it to mow). Breakfast was great with a variety of options from proteins to pastries. The only thing I would suggest to the hotel is adding a dehumidifier to each cave room. There was a bit of a musty smell in the room and it was quite humid making the linens feel almost damp. I’m sure this is normal for a cave, but I do think a dehumidifier would help! Beds were very comfortable and ac worked well. Overall a fabulous stay!
Steven
This was the most unique hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The staff were most helpful and accommodating. The nice touch was while we were having a glass of wine on the terrace. The host brought us a complimentary appetizer.
Dylan
Very nice accommodation
cara
This was our favorite hotel on the trip. The staff were great offering wonderful suggestions, arranging a tour and taxi to catch our very early train. They even have us breakfast before we left. ❤️ the room was beautiful. I can't recommend this hotel enough if you want to stay in the sassi caveoso.
YU-JUNG
Basiliani Hotel is truly a fantastic boutique gem! The location is perfect — close to everything yet peaceful enough to fully relax and soak in the atmosphere. The staff make all the difference: warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make your stay exceptional. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, from the beautiful decor to the welcoming ambience. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a charming, comfortable, and memorable stay!
Alex
The staff was fantastic
Rebecca
Wonderful hotel in a great location in Matera. Each room was different and wonderful (we had four rooms). The staff was great and the transfers to/from the parking garage were perfect. We would absolutely stay here again!
Nannette
Was unable to partake in breakfast. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful except the man (or shuttle driver) when we arrived that nite. I don’t appreciate being yelled at by staff at a hotel I paid for. Was not very understanding and rude.
Marie-Eve
Super!
Just perfect!
marina
It’s ok hotel for fit people but several areas of mold in the bathrooms ( we had friends in another room- same mold) is unacceptable! Extremely dangerous step down at the bathroom entrance- waiting for accident to happen! Great breakfast!
Derrick
We were knocked out by the comtempory feel and stylish interior to what is simply a cave. It was fresh and perfect. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Even the lovely lady at breakfast remembered what we liked to drink with our breakfast.
Sharron
The hotel was good and space in room was excellent. Limited cleaning during stay but ok for our 2 days. Shower rod kept falling and it was never fixed.
Anna
The breakfast options are limited. The location is outstanding. The room is unique, clean and spacious. The matrass is too soft. The staff is excellent, very helpful and kind.
Tim
Lovely breakfast, lovely hotel. Minor point the bathroom in room 125 could do with a lick of paint to freshen it up but overall anyone booking this hotel will be making a good choice in a unique location
Christine
Truly fantastic boutique hotel! Such an amazing find! Highly recommended.
Parking is free and easy to find. The hotel picks you up and takes you into the city.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. On the day of our departure we needed to leave very early and they had a full breakfast ready for us and gave us a ride back to our car with no problem at all.
The location at the edge of the cliff is absolutely stunning and the views are unparalleled.
The rooms themselves are unique and very well appointed. The bathroom in our room needs to be repainted and the loft where the kids slept got very hot. But other than that we can't find a single fault with this lovely spot in a beautiful city!

Amy Pei Jou
Great location with helpful and friendly staffs. Like the free pickup/drop-off from parking garage, breakfast is pretty good, the location (right in Sassi) is pretty cool and decent options on restaurants and cafes.
Kyle
Should have stayed here another day. Everything
Susie
Beautiful cave hotel
Beautiful hotel, modern, clean, coffee & tea are including in the room, good breakfast & nice service.
Kevin
Hotel first: Basiiani Hotel is a marvel in a town once called the 'Shame of Italy'. It is a hotel that is comprised of several rooms carved into caves that used to be people's homes. It is awesome. The decor, beds, bathroom and amenities all top notch. The staff friendly and the buffet breakfast was great. Highly recommended. Now the town of Matera.... you must go. Truly out of this world and worth every adjective of beauty.
Moon

Amazing Stay!
What a great, unique stay!
The staff was great! We were picked up at the off location parking lot (there is no room at the hotel, it’s not an issue at all, the hotel is great with directions and pickup). We were told of things to see and had help with dinner reservations.
The room itself was clean, comfortable and one of a kind.
The history of the town is very interesting and if you are in this area a stay overnight is a must.

A gem
Wonderful place to stay to be part of the stassi experience, have amazing views across the gravina, and still be relatively peaceful in terms of not being in the middle of the tourist tracks.
Heidi
Astounding area in Sassi, Matera

Location, location, location….👍
Room and facilities are awesome.
The only issue, there is limited shuttle as there is no parking around the hotel, so one has to wait. But other than that, everything was beautiful!

The staff, service, breakfast and views were out of this world!! Not sure what I did to get a room that opens up to the amazing view of the caves across the ravine. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Kevin
Excellent hotel in Matera
Excellent room/apartment built into rock
Great view outside towards the caves opposite
Room well equipped no windows apart from the doors at entrance so not a lot of natural light but with so much to do you don’t spend too much time in room 😀

Carole
The staff is very accommodating. They told us what places to see and how to get there. They also made reservation for restaurant and provided transportation to and from parking. The location has wonderful view and the breakfast is fantastic.
Mary
The property is perfectly situated at the side of a mountain canyon offering spectacular views, far from the noisy streets, although you might get the small groups of tourists with their guide.
I think it is one of the best locations in town. You are just minutes away from many great restaurants and shops, but it is also tranquil most of the day.
No one would know the beautiful caves are actually part of a hotel.
The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, speaking a few languages.
Very responsive, most of our extra requests were completed within a reasonable time.
The hotel offers free shuttle from many parking areas in Matera to the hotel, otherwise inaccessible by your own car as the ZTL is in effect most of the day.

Comfortable and enjoyable. Check in and out were seamless. Breakfast service was great
Peter
Great location given the close proximity to the main street. Very clean with modern amenities.
Karl
The property is located in the Sassi- these are stone cave dwellings of ancient times. They are amazing. Our hotel room was a modern version with beautiful design appointments and a spectacular view.
Monique
What wonderful surprise! Great communication with front desk with options to a free or paid parking plus free shuttle RT to hotel and back. Rooms are in the cave spread out and beautiful chic modern Italian decor. Delicious breakfast and fantastic staff. Definitely will be back and suggest to friends and family
Antonino
Overall nice
Sandro

Rebecca
This hotel was so cool! The view is stunning! We definitely appreciated the free parking outside of the downtown (perfect directions provided by the hotel) and the shuttle to/from the hotel. The room was spacious and had a loft. We were 4 people and had lots of space. The lighting used was perfect for the cave setting and the light up furniture was a hit with my kids. We also appreciated having AC as it was very hot in June. The surrounding area was easily walkable (but be warned, there are a lot of stairs in matera!) and we got to the various sites easily. Breakfast was included and was great. Would definitely recommend this hotel!
Isabel
This location is amazing. Probably the best spot in Matera.
Mary Ann
Front desk staff were knowledgeable, polite and nice! Eager to assist where they could. Drive was very good! Provided information along the way. Drawing out the map was great information! Breakfast was great. Rooms really nice. Enjoyed everything!
Francesco
Very friendly staff, after only one day they made me feel already like someone they knew.
Bravo!
Bravo!
John
The staff was attentive and pleasant, the rooms were comfortable, and the ancient city was fascinating.
Lailla
I would give the service at this place 10 stars out of 5 if I could! We arrived at some random bus stop in the bottom of town because their main station is closed for remodeling, so I didn't really know where we were when I called the shuttle. Nino just asked me the name of the street & came to get us.
By the next morning, we had fallen in love with the town and changed our itinerary for the rest of the trip to spend more time in Matera, but they didn't have space for us to stay longer. They called around and found us a place at another amazing hotel. When it was time to check out, they had it all arranged to simply simply transfer our bags and pick up new keys at the other hotel.
As for the hotel itself, the rooms were huge, clean and very unique. Very cool hotel in an amazing town.

Glenda
If I could give more than five stars to this hotel, I would. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the location perfect -- beautiful views just outside our door and transportation a short essy walk away.
Our room was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the simplicity of the furnishings, which complemented the hotel's surroundings. The breakfast bar was delicious!
Thanks to everyone at Hotel Basiliani for a beautiful vacation.

Tracie
Our experience was absolutely perfect. The hotel provided clear and courteous parking instructions, a super fast shuttle (to and from the free parking area), fast check-in and luggage assistance all the way into our room. The room is clean, spacious, modern enough to feel fun and yet it retains the feeling of the Sassi. The town is beautiful and the people are so kind and out-going. Our breakfast was wonderful and fresh each day and they make espresso and cappucino for you as well.
We hope to come back to Sassi di Matera and will definitely stay here.

Highly recommend!
Sean

Susan
We absolutely loved our stay at the Basiliani Hotel. Very cool room, great breakfast, stunning views and a wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. They even came and saved us when we got lost 😃. Definitely click on the link they send you for parking instructions…

Carole
This hotel is in a very good location. The sunrise view is spectacular. The apartment is quite impressive and very large. The breakfast is terrific. There are pleanty of choices.
Bruno
Roberto, Nino at front desk plus Roberto driver are all awesome. Great location, breakfast and hotel. A little dark at night though, could use an extra light or two for the walkway area. Other than that this is a wonderful stay.
Alan
The location of H Basiliani is absolutely stunning, on the side of the gorge, in the middle of Matera's sassi area. There are cave dwellings (some renovated, some not) either side of the hotel buildings, and the breakfast terrace and some of the rooms (including ours) have panoramic views across the gorge at older caves on the other side. Our room was very large (split level, obviously meant for a family rather than just the two of us!), calm and comfortable. My only criticism is that the bathroom was about due for another coat of paint. Because the hotel is in the historic area, you cannot drive to it. You need to leave your car somewhere in the modern part of town (the hotel can advise on a choice of car-parks), and then call the hotel, who send their shuttle to collect you and your luggage. They also offered to shuttle us back to our car if we wanted to go out for the day, but there is enough in Matera (within walking/climbing distance) to keep you busy for a couple of days, so we didn't bother. I have read complaints about people waiting for the shuttle - this is only a small hotel, so there are only one or two vehicles - as long as you know there might be a wait, I don't see this as an issue. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and I can't think of a better location to stay in Matera!
If this is your first visit to Matera, bring a satnav or a decent map. The street signs in the modern town are dreadful, and we spent nearly an hour driving round completely lost.

Both our driver from free parking and reception staff were amazing! Our receptionists spent 10 minutes helping us understand history and sites to see

The property is located in the historic area and has amazing views at its doorstep. The rooms were immaculate. The staff was friendly and was very accommodating to our special requests.

This is a fantastic boutique hotel. The room was so comfortable. It has the most comfortable bed we’ve experienced in Italy. Clean, modern rooms in a gorgeous historical setting. The staff was so kind and helpful. They offer a shuttle service from a parking lot outside of town that made things so much easier. Highly recommend.

Great hotel in the heart of sassi
Fantastic hotel located in what used to be cave houses. Great location in Sassi and amazing view of the gorge. Very much appreciated the directions to free parking at the university and the complimentary hotel shuttle which arrived quickly and made parking easy and stress free. Friendly and helpful staff who provided a map of where to go and all major sights which are within walking distance. Some lovely restaurants also close by. Great mini bar and fridge with good selection of drinks and snacks and inexpensive. Only slight negative would be that the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC but despite this is very clean. Would stay again and fully recommend.
Deborah
This is the place to stay for a beautiful view of the canyon and a quiet stay! The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast delicious! Very cool to stay in a cave!
The shuttle from the free parking area was very convenient and the staff helpful and friendly. Hoping to visit and stay again!

Never stayed in a cave before! Enchanting place, right in the best part of Sassi di Matera- good restaurants nearby within a short walk. Staff were really helpful, friendly and approachable; giving us a map and highlighting a trail around the town.
The free shuttle came and picked us up from Matera Central station and dropped us at the hotel all within 15 minutes and dropped us off at the end of our stay.
Lovely coffee and buffet breakfast.
The cave our room was in was huge, modern and had all the facilities you would expect in Italy.
A unique stay in Matera- would definitely recommend

This was one of the most amazing stays I have ever had. Staff super helpful and WhatsApp greetings as soon as I booked explaining parking etc which I appreciated very much. You are based right on the edge of Matera but close to the heart. Enjoy your stay it is amazing.

A super nice hotel in the Sassi area. Staying in a cave room was a awesome experience. Nice modern interior in a ancient cave. Walkable to everything you need to see. View from the hotel magnificent! Super helpful and friendly staff.
Would come back here for sure

Staff was terrific. Checkin was smooth and easy. We parked in the open lot and the hotel shuttle delivered us to the hotel. We were traveling with our daughter and had reserved a large bedroom with a mezzanine floor. The rooms design (modern) married perfectly with the historic surroundings.
Margaret
What a gem! Such a beautiful place and hotel ! Staff are amazing and so accommodating , highly recommended
Beth
Unique and Lovely
We made a last minute reservation and the response to my question about parking was rapid and clear. We opted for the paid secure parking and the hotel driver arrived to the deck promptly and helped us with our bags. The hotel location was amazing. I loved the modern room decor, accommodated to show off the cave structure. Breakfast was fresh with many options. Highly recommend!
Julie
This hotel in my opinion is a hidden gem. We had the best 3 nights stay in this hotel.we loved the location and absolute dreamy views.There were plenty of restaurants etc within a short walking distance, but our location was not affected by the noise it was so quiet and relatively secluded. The free shuttle service which was super organised. our spotlessly clean cave bedroom was very big, freshly decorated, modern and equipped with hairdryer, kettle with coffee etc and tv and Wi Fi. Now the biggest selling point which I believe the hotel should shout about more was our bathroom. It was amazing, it had a Lage recessed cave bath, with a top of the range spa shower. The bath / spa shower was like a very large private cave hot tub which lit up in different glowing colours when you selected the controls. It felt very luxurious indeed. We enjoyed a nice glass of local wine while relaxing in it. In our own little spa. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and of very good quality and we sat there on the balcony eating and enjoying the stunning views. The staff were very friendly and helpful.I would strongly recommend this hotel.we also booked an ape (tuk tuk) ride with a guide to see the local area sights without getting sore feet and it was amazing and highly recommended. Thank you so much for making our visit so magical team you are a credit to matera

Très centrale pour marcher dans Sassi. Le shuttle est très accessible et nécessaire puisqu'on ne peux pas circuler en voiture. Le stationnement est grand et gratuit. Bonne sélection au petit déjeuner. La chambre était cependant très humide puisqu'il y avait un trou dans la grotte dans la chambre.
Barbara
We have never been to a more unique place than Matera. Our hotel was in the \"sossi\" area so you need a shuttle in which is easy to arrange with the hotel. They upgraded our room . Never stayed in a cave before. So modern and exceptional.
Linh
Good location, large room, and the view is amazing. Free shuttle from parking spot to the hotel is a huge bonus point. Staff are helpful, nice and friendly, especially Giuseppe.

It’s beautiful hotel with very personable staff. Location and ambience is just perfect . We walked everywhere from there.
There is an access to a parking and hotel staff will pick you up and take you back to your car.

I had a very pleasant stay at Basiliani Hotel. The staff was amazing! Roberto took the time to show me all the key highlights of things to see when I checked in and drew everything out on a map for me. He also helped me with dinner reservations. The hotel room was very quiet and cozy.
amy
This place was great. Off the beaten path and a bit more modern than it maybe should have been it worked fine for us. The room was large and clean and breakfast was great, complete with excellent cappuccino.
Roderick
Fabulous hotel in the Sassi area of Matera. Room was a delight with fantastic views of the gorge. Staff were very friendly and could not be more helpful. Free shuttle to car parks was invaluable!
Paolo
This hotel is modern and located right in the center of the Sassi. The staff was excellent from the moment we arrived at the parking garage for shuttle service to the check-out. The room was commodious and built into the Sassi. Incredible view.

Easy parking with shuttle service. Very friendly staff. Very comfortable rooms and a huge sexy shower. All amenities are walking distance. 100% satisfied.
Ellen
Matera is such a unique town as is staying in a \"cave hotel\" in one of the Sassi's. The hotel has been tastefully done, keeping the feel of a cave but with all the midern amenities you could want. The location is perfect, situated in a quiet area right on the gorge. Perfect all around!
