Interesting to stay in one of the "cave" rooms. It's a bit of a trek to reach on foot (only option) but worth it. Our room was cramped because if the configuration but had good view from two small windows and external terrace. Hearty breakfast. Helpful staff. Not great value for money. You pay for the experience.

This place is awesome. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the city that was incredible. Yes, the room is small but considering your in a building that is hundreds and hundreds of years old, maybe thousand of years, who cares! You have a window overlooking the 3rd oldest city in the world! Yes, it is about a15 minute walk from the parking garage to the hotel but you have to walk everywhere in Matera anyway, and once you make a turn close to the hotel and see the city for the first time , it will be all worth it. Suggest packing a couple of backpacks with everything need like we did. Would advise against trying to wheel large suitcases over the uneven pavement and stairs.

Lovely setting would definitely recommend. You need to be able to walk as property not accessible via car. Our room needed refreshing with a lick of paint but otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

Loved this quirky hotel.... but you need to be fit to stay here - lots of steps, and rooms spread out over a number of buildings!

It seemed that the staff didn't have any time for the guests. We didn't feel very welcome to be honest. Everything was very formal and we missed the friendliness we have seen in other places we stayed in Italy. We were happy to stay here only one night. It looked like they had enough business and didn't want to spend time to give guests the best experience in Matera

Beautiful position but hard to find if driving. Pick up service from parking garage exorbitant. Breakfast a little disorganized as well as check-out .

Someone at the front desk didn’t take the appropriate documentation so at 12:00 midnight, after we were asleep the front desk woke us up and we had to go to the lobby with our passports. It was scary and disturbing to my.

Dog friendly hotel near main piazza. Great view of the church and Sassi. Large breakfast selection. Street parking, I was able to find a free spot near the police station.

The location was very good, in the midst of sassi. However the receptionist did not give us the room which we booked which was a cave room instead gave us a normal room, it was only when we asked she gave us a lame reason that it was through some random order and finally gave us the semicave room. Which was still a twin bed and not a double bed which we booked for. We felt like she was trying cheat us and save the good room for others. The room did not feel clean either. On the other hand the breakfast was excellent.

If you have heavy suitcases or have any mobility handicaps-don't even think of staying in this location unless you are Atlas. I highly recommend going to this spot. It is exceptional and very authentic and in keeping with the history of the area. DO NOT miss this incredible - unique place. It is so special. Don't come hungry to the breakfast table. Poor selection. Have a coffee and fruit and move on. The ferrel cats in the area awoke us fighting several times during the night. Wear hiking or athletic shoes the entire time. People were so friendly and we ate dinner at a divine seafood restaurant not far from the hotel (in one of the caves). ENJOY!!

close enough to walk to the train station guided tour worthwhile

My stay was brief, but magical. I've had knee surgery which encumbers me when carrying luggage. The hotel provided someone to hoist my bag and carry it to the piazza above to meet my taxi. The hotel is lovely. Breakfast is ample. The views are wonderful.

Great location in the heart of the Sasso with a fantastic outlook opposit the cathedral. Short distance down to Sasso Main Street or up to the square and "la passegiatta" main drag. You can drive down into the Sasso on via fiorentini to quickly drop off or pick up bags

Was disappointed with the "suite". Balcony was down the stairs and down the hall. The neighborhood makes up for everything though. It was very clean although worn. Staff was fine. Must say, the number of stairs required to reach the hotel makes this a difficult location for anyone who is not in physically fair condition or anyone who has anything more than a backpack to carry. Whew!

The room's location is great. Right in the heart of the Sassi. The room itself was bad. Cold and damp. Everything in the suitcase was damp after two days.

Charming hotel in a special place.
