It is really a superb hotel. In Matera to be able to sleep in a room "cave" is quite special. The room #5 is large and had everything we needed except a big mirror. The only one was a small square one in the open bathroom above the lavabo and the lighthening was more romantic then useful there! I know it is not the same in every room as every room has a special design and decoration. The reception and the breakfast room are also beautiful. We loved the big terrasse where we could enjoy the sun and a drink at the end of the afternoon. Well situated in the city center. A place to discover!

Beautifully stylish and unique rooms from the converted caves of Matera. Every detail has been thought of and taken care of. The robes are fluffy, the towels were beautiful quality and the bed was sublimely comfortable. `even the wine supplied in the room which is the winery’s own is delicious. `thoroughly recommend.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Our room in a cave was unique and beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We did a private wine tasting which included wines made at their winery and a lot of good local history; their sister restaurant also was great for dinner. The location is perfect, easily walkable to the entirety of Matera.

We loved our stay in Matera and so glad I chose II Palazotto as our home for 2 nights. The room was amazing, was a wonderful experience sleeping in a cave! Beautifully designed and had everything you needed. Breakfast was great and met some other lovely guests during our stay. Staff were friendly and the wine was very good. Enjoyed a dinner at their restaurant which is situated at the other side of town. There is only a few steps up to the accomodation from the street. We travelled to Matera by car and left it at car park about 6km away and they have a shuttle service that drops and picks you up from the door which was super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend a stay here and especially a visit to Matera it was a WOW for us!

Excellent property and location. The experience of the cave room was different and fun. The hotel coordinated with a parking garage our car and even used it in the middle of our stay drive to Gravina and Albarobello. Matera is beautiful and has great restaurants (we recommend Austin in front of Agustine church).

Great location . We stayed in the family room / cave which was great for three of us … a short stroll to breakfast and right in the heart of Matera . The glass of wine on arrival was wonderful ( we ended up buying bottles to take with us ). The walk into the canyon / over the swing bridge and up the other side was steep but worth the view .

Very unique property. Staying in cave was an adventure. Each room is different according to the cave structure. Lovely welcome, wonderful staff. Thoughtful front desk, they go out of their way to take care of all needs and reservations for dining and sightseeing.

This hotel was booked for a 2 night stay as a novelty. Was a cave now a very well done hotel bedroom but it needs air conditioning on all the time and air humidifier. We had no windows! also we booked a car transfer from the airport to the hotel. No show! Hotel said the taxi driver forgot. We had to take an airport taxi at an extra €40 no offer to assist we were just told by the hotel not our fault!

Absolutely one of our most unique travel experiences ever right in the middle of a world UNESCO site. The property was stunning and staying in an actual cave was a real experience. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, the breakfasts were amazing, and when we arrived we were greeted with a glass of wine to welcome us. We would highly recommend!

This property was a fantastic choice for our visit to Matera. Our cave room was lovely, and each room is unique. The staff were helpful, and the common areas are just as unique as the individual rooms. There were minor inconvenience within our room as far as storage options of belongings and toiletries, and getting in and out of your room can be challenging, but very minor in comparison to the experience. HIGHLY recommend this property.

The cave is humid, therefore there is some strange smell but it's okay. Everything else is very good

We stayed in a family suite and although it was big I will not recommended to anyone. The toilet is so small and the water leaked to the whole floor all the way towards the kitchen. Breakfast is below the par and we didn’t feel the warm hospitality. From the reception we knew already we made a mistake on booking here. They were unresponsive. We should have stayed in sextantio. We didn’t slept well as the humidifier kept of making loud noise so if your a light sleeper it will wake u up and it happens multiple times. The reception just suggested to turn it off. Turning that off at night will make whole room smell since it’s a cave. Damasco parking they suggest is good but the shuttle we encountered does not have aircon. On a very hot weather we were very disappointed. Charged all premium you want but you must deliver. For this case it was an overall failure. We regret staying here.

Amazing hotel built in the rocky caverns of Matera's old town. Great location, close to restaurants and shopping and Duomo. Giuseppe's Wine Tasting at the hotel was a highlight of our trip. We will be back!

A luxury stay in a matera cave. This property is class. The location is so convenient to be dropped off by a driver as you can’t take a car into Sassi area. Having breakfast in the amazing cave room is so memorable. They also do wine tastings on site which we found really informative and delicious. You won’t be disappointed by your stay here.

We had the most wonderful stay at Palazzotto. The property and the rooms are beautiful and unique, and the service is kind and attentive. We received clear instruction on how to park, and on arrival we were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine. We had the chance to enjoy an aperitivo on their terrace enjoying a beautiful view of Matera - totally recommended! Matera is also a beautiful town with a very interesting history, definitely worth a stop!

My stay here was all around fantastic. The hotel is made from the the Neolithic caves. But these aren't your grandmother's caves. These caves have been refitted into beautiful, modern, amazingly-comfortable spaces. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk prepared me for parking considerations the day before I checked in. I easily found off site parking for €25 with a a €10 taxi service to the hotel. I know that's expensive, but it was well worth it. The city is is unbelievable. The hotel location is right in the middle of of the historic section called The Sassi. You do not need a vehicle for a visit to this City. I only stayed one night but I think one could easily spend 3 nights here and still leave things for the next visit. On the morning I checked out the front desk provided me with complimentary coffee while I waited for the taxi.
