Excelent location, great view, helpful staff, good breakfast. Sleeping in a real Grote.

Great location to experience Matera, marvellous breakfast

Great host, lovely room, had everything we needed. Lovely breakfast and wonderful location.

This is a unique and fantastic hotel. The location is perfect, the staff is exceptional, the room is clean and comfortable, the breakfast was amazing. We felt welcomed and right at home. We highly recommend staying here to enjoy the hospitality and to experience history.

Great opportunity to stay in the heart of the old city in Matera. The room was cozy and comfortable.

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.

Everything was great. Especially the restaurant. The included breakfast was very good.

The dampness in the room

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.

The cave room was unique. Perhaps better lighting would be good.

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

Great location

It’s a real Sassi cave dwelling and so it’s a great experience right in old Matera!

I have never met someone like the property manager! He can scream at you on the street if you don’t go to his friends restaurant for dinner! So I don’t need say other bad experiences I had with this place

Great position in old town, if you want to experience a cave dwelling this is it.

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.

The experience of stay in a cave i truly recommend it. The room have kitchen that was convenient.

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.

Amazing location and a lot of potential, but unfortunately not very clean, terrible smell and breakfast was outdated.

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.

Real cave hotel experience. Lovely room, the bathroom was a bit tired but still functional.. lots of hot water. Good breakfast. Check in is in the restaurant next door.

It’s on the middle of they Sassi. Which it’s the main atraction . The room are a little be humid but are large clean and very good. The restaurant next door it’s exelent Price very good. !!

AC did not function properly in our room . Otherwise fine

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.

Everything was unique and wonderful —the staff was super—the views from patio stunning every was perfect
