Matera is a gem and this hotel is very special and lovely in every respect! I really enjoyed my time there! The old cave/rock oriented part of Matera is the best place to stay and what makes the town unique, historically valuable, and so interesting. This hotel is located right in that part of the town and just steps away from important and interesting historical sites, view sites, restaurants, walking areas etc. This hotel is built out of the unique cave geography of this part of the town. Literally, as the photos indicate, the rooms and common spaces exist within meticulously designed cave and water cistern systems that were historically common in this area. A unique treat to just be there! With that said, my room was totally modern and totally comfortable in every way. Great amenities. The service was fantastic. Really great staff who provided lovely recommendations for site seeing, restaurants, navigating the town etc. Highly recommend and I would stay there again without a doubt!

Staff made it a very pleasant stay, Beautiful, Clean and cool. Immersive experience of cave life! Very close to where the action is, very central.

The Toilet/ en-suit situation was not expected! there was no full hight walls or door to give you privacy. One thing I would recommend is that the staff do a very short walk around tour, we felt a little lost when we arrived there welcome process could do with sharpening up, but in the grand scheme of thigs I would highly recommend this place to close friends and family.

The breakfast was okay. Good variety of items to choose from. The breakfast room was nice. The staff was attentive but not really friendly or engaging which is okay I guess. New Year's Eve we weren't staying at Hotel but were early to go to our reservation elsewhere. The staff made the outside available for our family of 7 to enjoy a glass of Prosecco before we left even though they were preparing for their evening guests...that was nice of them!

There wasn't anything I didn't like. It is a beautiful Hotel in a great location. A nice variety of rooms. My husband didn't want to stay in a cave but our children did - the Hotel has both options. Our suite was a lovely size, well appointed and comfortable.

This property is very centrally located right in the middle of the Sassi, with excellent restaurants and bars in close proximity. I stayed in one of the suites which was beautiful, there was nothing to fault.

You can only use the pool once during your stay, or else you have to pay €40pp. I think this is a little unreasonable. There appears to be breakfast options that you can order, but it was dependent on the staff serving.

Five star ⭐️ luxury! What a room! Even though we always go for the smallest room to save money, this room was anything but small. It felt luxurious and elegant and was a real experience. The cave spa was an experience not to be missed. This was one of three cave hotels we stayed in during our four nights in Matera, and the night here was as magical as the other two, but this one with opulence! The perfect location and road too if you ask us ;).

It doesn’t feel as old and possibly authentic as Il Palazzotto or Corte Pietro so I’d combine a stay at one of these two if you can.

The half board package was great. The restaurant is really good. The Pool and Spa a must experience. The room was very comfortable. Location was the best.

The reception could have given us tips to get a good private tour of the city. They did not give any such information previous or upon arrival..

Best location for Matera sightseeing. Close to any of historical place you have to see, to any of nice restaurants you have to try. It’s very romantic especially in the night. If you have a car(rental car) with you, by the way, Matera is also great location for visiting other Puglia cities such as Alberobello.

Nothing! Price is also very reasonable even during the high-season for the tourists.

It is a very nice experience to spend a few nights in a luxurious cave. The room is clean and very special. SPA is incredible very relaxing. The breakfast was very good with a lot of options. Stuff very friendly and professional.

It does not have parking. You need to chose form different options when it comes to where to leave the car and arrive at the hotel. The hotel can guide you where to park.

All of the staff were superb, from reception, to the spa and those at breakfast and in the bar - a huge thanks for making our stay very special. The breakfast was excellent with a great selection, the room amazing and the location ideal for exploring Matera. We would not hesitate to recommend or visit again.

The hotel was stunning and the perfect location to walk to tourist attractions and restaurants. Complimentary day spa usage was also fabulous. Breakfast was superb...both hot and cold. Public car park, shuttle and return were easy.

Reception staff were not able to provide restaurant recommendations due to a restaurant on site.
