Matera is such an unusual and unbelievably fantastic place but the highlight of our visit was when I first stepped inside our `cave' room. I was simply overwhelmed as it was truly and absolutely fabulous!!!! Unfortunately we stayed during Easter 2013 when the weather was unseasonably cold and as a result the room felt quite cold and damp but this... More

Confirming what has been written from others ! Unfortunately we caught not the best weather at easter, so we couldn't enjoy the court yard, lounging under the stars (which must be very nice). Nothing per persons which prefer perfect boringness to a very original place like all Matera (who wasn't there cannot even imagine how different Matera is ! )... More

Quite easily one of the most sumptuous and unusual hotel "rooms" we have ever stayed in, and in the most stunning town. We thoroughally enjoyed our couple of days in Matera. Its also the first time we've seen a non-functioning TV set fixed with a quick blast from a hair dryer! Agreeing with other guests comments, the breakfast was little... More

The hotel is in an amazing location with direct views of the gorge, caves and church. HOWEVER- we were offended by the staff's bad attitude / lack of service & disappointed with the quality of breakfast and room. Having booked a suite and requested a particular CAVE room, upon arrival we discovered rather abruptly our room had already been taken,... More

This hotel is certainly in the right place and has been sympathetically restored, the rooms are perhaps a little sparse but the prices charged are very reasonable. However if you want a proper breakfast before setting off for the day I suggest you stay somewhere else. We arrived for breakfast at 0800, all the breakfast plates were empty and the... More

We had an incredible view from our room and it was very ample. The hotel is located inside the Sassi itself, staff gave us the best advice on where to go, and where to eat. So, we were able to enjoy true Italy in a gorgeous city that carefully keeps its traditions. It was the best part of our Italy... More

Staying in a cave was so unique. The staff were wonderful. Be prepared to take luggage up rock steps, but that is part of the charm. the reason for the 4 instead of 5 were maintenance issues and I'm sure had we been there longer the management would have fixed the leaky shower and broken hair dryer as well as...

This is a very nice and reasonably priced place to stay if you would like to try the cave dwellings. Good breakfast. Quiet and very comfortable. Convenient to restaurants and local sites. Parking was convenient.

The concierge came with another man to help us carry our luggage up the cobbles and stairs. Once there, our room in the cave was the first that faced us, to the right of the courtyard and entry to the cave hotel. It is vaulted, large enough, and very pleasant, with a white bed cover scattered with little blue flowers... More

Although some rooms are built into the cave back, ours was not, but had good views. It was spacious and decorated white. It was in a good position for sightseeing. The breakfast was a buffet in a room where the rear tables were in a cave.
