This property was gorgeous and clean. The room and view from the property was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and provided a lot of information about the city and about out specific room and the history. Definitely recommend staying here if you will be in Matera.

Unique cave room

Unique cave room that was well appointed. Though the bathroom was not physically in the bedroom it only had a frosted swinging glass door so not soundproof from bedroom. Sink for bathroom was in the bedroom that was ok with me but my husband did not like this layout.

My fiancé and i had an incredible experience at this property - we wished we had stayed longer than just one night! We were welcomed with welcome drinks up on the rooftop overlooking the beautiful Sassi di Matera. The staff was so friendly and helpful with recommendations as needed. The room we stayed in was a cave room - so cool and updated with AC and everything! Our room was near the reception which initially had us nervous but it was actually very quiet. We loved the walkability and the convenience! The parking situation - which could have been difficult with the rules of cars in Matera - was made very simple with scheduled departures and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great experience and only complaint is that we wish we stayed longer! Thank you to the kind staff here as well.

The best and most romantic stay at this ultra modern boutique hotel built inside real caves and a terrace view of Sassi to die for. Outstanding location, super clean, large rooms with every possible amenity, awesome breakfast and very very nice staff. We would come back again and May be spend a whole week

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here! Antonella was super friendly and helpful both leading up to our stay and helping us plan our arrival and the options for parking (which are complex). She explained some history of the hotel and gave us a detailed map to tour the city. It was like having our own pre tour guide!

The room was very clean, beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and welcome air conditioning during a heat wave.

A great location within the Sassi to walk around the historical centre.

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful historic city

What an amazing place! This hotel is located on a cliff overlooking the ravine that bisects the historic town. The views are spectacular and it is convenient to many good restaurants. The staff is excellent and very helpful. A very good breakfast is served in a cave restaurant/bar above the hotel. Matera is worth a long visit; there is so much to see and do. We loved staying here!

Situated in the old town of Matera, and unique to stay in a \"cave room\". The property has been renovated very tastefully and the highlight is the property patio and bistro (Crialoss) is perfectly located overlooking the old town. The menu of the bistro is excellent and so are the drinks! The owners, Vita, Antonella, and Giuseppe are very attentive and take the opportunity to ensure all guests are enjoying their stay. Antonella and her staff assisted with reservations to recommended restaurants and all were very enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to stay at this property!

Incredible View and Experience

Absolutely incredible experience - my receptionist called ahead to make sure I was not lost before check-in ended in the evening, offered complimentary water upon my arrival and helped fill out a map of areas to tour and visit. Room was incredibly unique, extremely comfortable and featured an incredible view! Definitely intend on returning in the future.

Exceeded Expectations.

This was a very nice stay with wonderful views of the Sassi. The breakfast was great (continental) with the breads and bakery goods made that morning.
The owner (current and former resident of the Sassi) and the staff did everything to make the stay exceptional.
While parking was off site (10 min drive from hotel) it was very well organized - shuttle was there for you when you got to the parking - parking was indoors and the shuttle was there for you when you were ready to return to you vehicle. Door to door - no stops to pick up others on the way.

Very good place to stay if you visit Matera

Have to spend 40euros extra to parked our car but that's nothing to do with the hotel. The cave room we stayed was a bit of a novelty with a fantastic view of The Sassi, staff was very good & helpful, spend a lot of time to explained the place. Breakfast was an event arrived in a carrier bag, it got everything in it. Fantastic place & you won't disappointed with the hotel & Matera.

This is how a boutique hotel in a restricted historic area should be operated. We were given good instructions on how to reach the hotel far in advance of our arrival. We chose the offered valet offsite parking for an extra charge and didn’t use our car for the two nights there. The hotel exterior is inconspicuous by design but our room was creatively planned and elegantly executed. The staff was smart, sensitive and helpful. All this comfort in Matera, a city with an aura of timelessness.
