The Sassi in Matera is one of the most beautiful and surprising places I've ever been to. To stay in a hotel like San Giorgio is a unique and amazing experience, which is hard to describe: you sleep in a cave (which, against all expectation, is super confortable), have an amazing breakfast in the room, and walk around at any moment (sunrise or sunset), allowing yourself to get lost and to discover the city once and again. I can't recommend the experience enough.

Very unique experience in an incredible city. The room was good and the staff was helpful. Parking is a bit of a challenge, be sure to correspond with the hotel prior to arrival, the office and check in is located in the Sassi and parking is by permit only. Otherwise highly recommended!!’

What an amazing hotel with what I might call mini suites built into the mountain with a cave like feeling inside. I wished that I had stayed more than one night.

The architectural features of this ample suite for three or four was tastefully furnished, the kitchen was well equipped, the set up for breakfast was a welcome amenity, and the view of Matera from outside the suite was amazing. The proximity of the intriguing and ancient space just outside the kitchen window, where olive oil is currently stored, was a feature that makes this suite in the Sassi all the more unique. I'd return to San Giorgio to stay any time.

Just an overnight but a really delightful room in a superb location. Very helpful staff assisted with parking as well which you need to plan for as it’s in the restricted area. We wish could have stayed longer.

Perhaps I expected something more cavelike. A large space with a dated looking kitchenette in contrast with a lovely bathroom. Suggest better bedding to fluff things up. It’s a room in an awesome location.

Oh my word: this place is amazing! We were traveling in Italy and decided to change our destination to Matera because it was the only place we could get to conveniently where it wasn't cold and rainy. We had no idea how beautiful the city would be, and how this hotel residence would just make the trip for us. It has a balcony with a table and two chairs--perfect for taking in the scenery with your sweetheart and having a meal or glass of coffee or wine. The bed was comfortable and there was even a kitchen. We decided to cook dinner and stay in because we wanted to sit on the balcony until dark. It's a restored building in the Sassi and it's absolutely beautiful. My only suggestion would be for the hosts to stock us with salt and pepper, since they thought of everything else. This is a place not to miss!

This perfectly situated and sympathetically renovated self-contained studio apartment in Sasso Barisano is both beautiful and comfortable and provides all the amenities and comfort a guest would need. Breakfast was ample. Check in with English speaking staff was swift and friendly with maps and advice on good restaurants given. Contact was made unprompted prior to arrival with information on parking facilities and directions. It snowed heavily and taxi arrangement was offered, again unprompted. Matera was stunning under the snow and the stay at this wonderful hotel and its thoughtful staff made everything perfect. I would not hesitate to stay at Hotel San Giorgio again should I come back to Matera.

Cozy apartment with a great location. Reception folks were extremely helpful. We needed a unit close to reception because of physical restrictions and they accommodated us. An abundance of food was left in the room for our breakfast and snacking.

This place was AMAZING. The location is fabulous, and so is the town itself. The room is part of a restored residence, so it is in a rock cave, which is fascinating, beautiful, and interesting. The room was spacious, the breakfast was great, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was large with strong water flow. The only draw backs are parking, which is likely a problem everywhere. There was a 15 euros fee for valet parking, which is less than we've had to pay at downtown hotels in the US. You also had to drag your luggage uphill for about 120 meters, so if you pack light, it is better. For us, we had two large suitcases so it was harder. The host did drag one of the suitcases for us.

Matera is a beautiful, old city, unique in having the sassi, where the inhabitants used to - and still do - live. The hotels' rooms are in converted sassi, and though very upscale and comfortable, they still retain the flavor of being in a cave. The city is wonderful to explore - many churches, shops, restaurants, museums, and narrow winding streets.

Our stay at Hotel San Giorgio was a unique and fun experience! The hotel lobby and the rooms (at least ours) are both in the Sassi area but not in the same spot. You check in and they walk you to your room. When you get to your room you find a beautifully appointed, immaculate room in a "cave"! The room was right in the heart of the historic area and you can walk everywhere in this incredible, interesting and gorgeous city. Alexandra, the owner was so very friendly, helpful and accommodating. She actually rode with us to find a parking place (there are basically no cars allowed in the historic area.) and then drove us and our luggage back to the hotel. If I had the time I would stay a month at the fabulous and unique hotel!

We had our own living room and bedroom space in a gorgeous cave house with its own small kitchen, backing onto a tiny courtyard which made us feel part of the old town not just visitors. The room was spacious, the decor a chic mixture of traditional and modern with high ceiling and rock or brick walls. The bed was very spacious and the room had a lovely bathroom and all amenities. The staff were very helpful and even took us on a personal tour of the archeological site that belonged to the hotel. The location was right in the heart of the old town down at the botttom of the valley with many traditional local restaurants nearby and easy access to all the sites. You could walk the hotel to anywhere in Matera easily. Not a good location for those who don't like steps however, we loved it.

The Hotel (sometimes called Residenza) San Giorgio is one of many hotels set into the rocks or sassi of Matera. Its office is on a lower level and you climb (there is very little that is horizontal in Matera) a somewhat steep cobble stone stairway to get to your suite. Our suite was like a one bedroom apartment. It had a kitchen, bathroom, living room, loft bedroom and a couple of corners perfectly engineered into the rock. Oh...did I forget to mention?...It also have a centuries old Cistertian Church in the floor below to which we had access. The church was so large, a real labyrinth, that we did not venture to its full extent for fear of getting lost. Parking was a bit of an issue. Set you GPS to the office or to the neighboring restaurant, La Talpa, and they will park your car for you. (They'll get if for you too. This service cost 35 euros for two days.) Given Matera, if you are reading this in English, you really don't want to be driving in the sassi. Breakfast is self-serve and the hotel will provide you with some basics like cereal, toasts, crackers, fruits, instant coffee, etc. To get to the Piazza Sedile, a main square that connects to most historical buildings, you climb up the stairs following the Itinerari turistico signs. There's a restaurant before the Piazza called the Cola Cola that has an excellent dinner menu that is translated into English and does not change. For 15 euro you get to drink good local wine and have a very finely prepared dinner.

We found the town to be enchanting. It was as if we were visiting the past and expiring something that we never thought we could. We loved every moment of our visit. Matera is not for someone with bad knees or a weak heart. Lots of walking and climbing steps. We're so glad we visited before the arthritis sets in.

A wonderful experience staying in an original sassi. The room (cave) was so unique and very comfortable. We had use of a small kitchenette and the bathroom had the most amazing shower.

The Residence San Giorgio is an amazing place to stay in an amazing place. The rooms are full of character, are beautifully decorated, and are very comfortable. Our room had a loft where the bed was, a kitchen, a living area...everything you could want. It is located in the very center of the Sassi with good restaurants very close-by. Walking distance to all of the local sites. The owner/operators are sweet and helpful. I really felt like I lived in Matera, rather than like a guest in a Hotel.
