The staff was fabulous; both helpful and kind. We were unaware that caves are humid, which was our naivete. Breakfast was ample. Our cave was large and had lots of places to sit comfortably, inside and out. The only reason the stay was not 100% excellent was the humidity inside the cave despite running dehumidifiers and air conditioning. Having a sweet dog on premises was a bonus!

What an absolute dream stay! The apartment was so unique and quaint and charming! Federico was the kindest host! He was friendly, professional, helpful, and genuine. The room was SO quaint! Spacious. Plenty of amenities. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning was sufficient. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and more than ample. I would absolutely stay at this residence again!

To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect. But after learning about the history of the city and what it has taken to come back is amazing! Having the experience of being able to stay in a "cave" was a something we will never forget. The property owners we very friendly and welcoming and we appreciate the work they have put into making it accessible to tourists.

The first room we had, had so much humidity that the sheets and comforter was damp. We did not sleep well at all. The next night we went to another hotel to get some sleep. The third night we were moved to another room which was fine. They were very nice about moving us.

At first, we were given too small of a room. Felt too claustrophobic. But the owners were awesome and moved us to a larger room. And it was absolutely amazing we loved it.

The property was well located and provided us with a "grotto" experience which is what the Sasso Barisano is about. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We recently stayed at Residence San Pietro Barisano and we were extremely disappointed with our experience. The hotel advertised that parking was included, but upon arrival, we discovered that this was not the case. We had sent an email inquiring about parking, but received no response. When we called the hotel, they informed us that they were too busy to reply to emails and we would have to park outside the city and either take a bus or walk to the residence. Upon entering our room, we immediately noticed a damp smell and the bedding felt cold and wet. When we brought this to the attention of the receptionist, they responded in an arrogant manner, claiming that there was no humidity in the room and that it was only cold. Furthermore, the bathroom was dusty and the toilet rolls had not been changed, with leftover rolls from previous guests still present. The breakfast offered at the hotel was very disappointing. The selection consisted of a few cakes, some yogurt, and Kellogg's cereal. The orange juice tasted extremely acidic and was not enjoyable at all. Additionally, the only non-sweet option for breakfast was a banana, which seemed to be a few days old. Overall, we cannot recommend this hotel. While the location is perfect, the subpar accommodations and unprofessional behavior of the reception staff made our stay unbearable. It simply was not worth the money.

The room itself was beautiful but the humidity in the room was unbearable. The air conditioning and dehumidifier in the room should always be left on so that all the humidity and smell is removed from the room. The furniture was damp along with the bed covers and pillows.

The location cannot be beat! Located adjacent to many good restaurants in mirror, steps from fantastic sunset views of Matera. An opportunity to sleep in a real Sassi (a cave) updated with 21st-century comforts.

In the heart of the sassi/ old matera. Beautiful rooms with good amenities. Very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to everything. Host was friendly and other staff were polite, they took the trouble to use translate so they could communicate. Breakfast is the italian way so cake and coffee. We didn't eat at the restaurant but the food looked delicious. Highly recommend this property, we would stay here again

Very disappointing experience, the owner wasn't polite and helpful, we didn't even can to communicate with him properly, the room wasn't clean. Nothing in the room, not even a water boiler. In general NOT value for its money, wasn't as I expect or what is in the photos.

La ubicacion de la residencia es perfecta para admirar el paisaje de los sassi. La experiencia de dormir en una habitacion dentro de una cueva es tambien muy interesante y diferente. Lo que seria bueno es que modernizaran un poco la cocina y bano y los utensilios de cocina. El resto, la atencion, el desayuno, muy bien.

Had a lovely stay at the Residence San Pietro Barisano. My room was fully equipped but also unique to the sassi of Matera. The staff was helpful, the breakfast was satisfying, the wifi stronger than expected, and the views tremendous. Also, the dog was friendly too.

Different experience. Definitely feels like a cave room. No replies from the hotel to any of the messages. Asked about getting to property and parking and received no response. Hotel is very hard to get to, many steep steps to carry luggage and musty smell in the room. Nice breakfast is offered and bathroom was clean. Air conditioner was loud and sheets felt wet. It was ok for a one night stay but probably couldn’t do any more than that. We parked close to the top of the steps as shown on the photos of the hotel description and now just hope that no fines would be issued for it’s a ZTL zone - no driving zone. But hotel is not responding to confirm

The saty was great. The place is beautiful and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is delicious and quite generous. The cakes, desserts, bread and coffee are amazing. A warm welcome. However, I had some trouble with the wifi connection. This a minor problem that as long as it can be resolved, it's not a big deal. The thing is that when i said there was a problem with the wifi, the owner acted a bit angry (don't know if it was his iyalian manners) but he didn't stop telling me it was my smartphone problem and not his hotel. After several minutes of complete mistrust, he came into my room and in a very uppity attitude, showed me his Facebook account on his personal phone. He tried for a while for it to refresh the feed but never did. He eventually realized it was not my fault and it was his. Again, it's not a big deal but it made me feel bad. He never apologized for his behavior. He later fixed the problem. Moral: the idea is not to find out whose fault it is but what the problem is and solve it asap. Thanks for everything. I'm sure you'll act differently next time.

Traveling in a post covid world can leave you a bit anxious. Staying at this nice little hotel in Matera during this tine was perfect. We checked in and were centrally located to all of the picturesque places of the gorgeous city. The hotel was clean and perfect for us. My favorite part was the shower. The only thing I can complain was that it felt a bit damp in our room but I run warm and I knew I was sleeping in a cave.

It is a very unique grotto with lots of room and interestingly decorated. However, It is located in the middle of a hill. Parking on top was very difficult to obtain. We had to park quite ways, walk down several flies of stairs with our luggage. It is not for anyone with accessibility issues. Walking up and down the whole town was fun though.

Really nice property, but if you have a car, parking is close... but extremely hard to find. The owner was kind enough to send one of his wait staff (he owns the restaurant also) to help us find the parking.
