Matera is not the easiest place to get to in first place. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to change plans and arrived by coach bus instead of rental car. The hotel contacted us a couple days before our check in and once they learned about our change if plans, they helpfully pointed out to us that our bus station is actually quite a bit of distance from the hotel. They then booked a taxi for us that waited at the bus station and took us straight into the restricted area inside the old town that saved us a lot of walking while carrying our luggages. Upon arrival, they clearly explained to us all the must sees, how to get to them and recommended food places. The room itself is just a spectacular experience. We booked the cave room for the experience and it was huge. Certainly gave us the unique experience that we were hoping for.

Good location and friendly staff

Great location in the middle of the sassi. We had the terrace room and loved sitting and people watching in the afternoon with a bottle of wine, and watching the sun go down. Very nice breakfast as well. They were able to help us book parking at local garage making it easy to arrive and leave town.

Very interesting place to stay. Difficult to carry luggage up and down multiple stairs and narrow passages.

Matera is one of the most unbelievable places I have ever visited! Antico was in an incredible location. The room, the staff, the cleanliness and breakfast are all top notch. I can’t wait to stay here again.

What an amazing experience to spend the night in such a gorgeous cave where prehistoric man may have slept before us. Loved sitting on beanbags in the cave cinema with a video of the history of Matera and having a beer. Friendly staff. And right in the heart of the beautiful city of Matera in east reach of all the caves.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in June. It was a lovely place and right in amongst the old part of Matera. Wonderful, thankyou to all the staff.

Excellent stay right in the heart. Great communication from the hotel prior to my arrival which was essential as the place is hard to find. Great dinner recommendation during my stay. I will be back in 2024!!!!!

Matera is very unique so expect different- check in and communication was good and very friendly- room was huge in a great central location - we used spa facilities which were quite private but just a little expensive- we had a great time thanks

Lovely experience. Very cool architecture. Very comfortable. Lovely breakfast. Larger than expected lodging.

Great experience staying in a cave. The room was massive and one of a kind. SPA was surprisingly good too.

The hotel is located in the center of sightseeing places, so you can access very easily by walking. The staff was very friendly and offering good hospitality. As the hotel is located in a restricted area, you cannot drive a car to the hotel, so you have to park a car away from the hotel. You should minimize the luggage, otherwise you need to carry in a hilly area.

Room was spacious and clean.Difficult to find and reach to hotel. Not for senior who has walking difficulties

A unique experience, the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. It is a little difficult to find and also located in the pedestrian area so no direct vehicle access and lots of steps to encounter. Worth it though and set in such an incredible city.

Amazing location and very wevoming staff

The hotel is lovely, clean, comfortable, the staff are all wonderful and very helpful. The hotel is situated in the heart of Matera and perfectly situated to see the sights and visit the great bars and restaurants

There are stairs, but close to a main street. Convenient location. Since we chose the chapest room, our room was not large and not in cave. It seems that the hotel was built recently, the room and facility was totally new.

The air conditioning needs to be better! It was difficult to get to with bags. The "spa" is a jacuzzi! No treatments! You sit in the jacuzzi and a sauna only!

Worth the cost to stay in an old cave dwelling the has been meticulously restored and rehabilitated to romantic haven. Exceeded our expectations. Can be hard to find and parking can be an issue. Also, our room opened directly on a common courtyard, so noise was a slight problem.
