Hotel Corte San Pietro in Matera was a total gem! It’s right in the heart of the Sassi, so we felt like we were immersed in history, surrounded by the beautiful, ancient charm of the city. The location couldn’t be better for exploring Matera’s unique, winding streets. The staff was on it from the start, making sure everything was sorted even before we arrived, and they were super attentive during our stay. Breakfast was next-level with delicious local foods and even live piano music—such a nice touch. The owner even came by to check in with us personally, which made us feel so welcome. The front desk team was amazing and always ready to help with great local tips. We’ll definitely recommend Corte San Pietro and can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous hotel and great staff. I loved the piano man at breakfast a lovely touch created great ambiance

Matera… what a place!! It’s a wow on every corner and Corte San Pietro was the same. Our superior room was one of the original cave dwellings, updated for a comfortable stay. The only windows were in the door to the room, which opened straight onto the street, but we didn’t mind that at all. Not having a door on the bathroom (just a curtain) was a surprise… but only added to the uniqueness of the stay. Breakfast was delicious and served to live piano music in a room above the hotel’s old underground cisterns (which made an interesting post-breakfast visit). All the staff were superb, really trying their best to meet every guest’s needs. Sadly they missed our (2) requests for a missing bath towel to be replaced but no one can be perfect. Finally the hotel’s recommended parking was perfect. Easy to find well sized and secured and a l transfer service can be arranged by the hotel. Just remember that this is all additional cost though.. €20 per night for the parking and €30 return for the transfer. Overall we highly recommend a visit to Matera and staying in Corte San Pietro.

Spectacular proportions very friendly service. For the price we paid, there should have been a free shuttle from the parking to the hotel. Breakfast was skimpy. There was absolutely no protein with breakfast and I left hungry.

So incredibly authentic and unique and historical and romantic. Just wonderful. Staff was outstanding.

Corte San Pietro should be proud of everything they have cosidered and carefully put in place. Yes, you’re in a cave with lovely surroundings, a perfect location and clean nice sheets but it’s the genuine feel and touches that made this one special. They had Prosecco in the room for our birthday, and sent a glass of fizz at the restaurant they booked for us. For all everyday there is fruit and water in your room, and their breakfasts are simple and classy tapas fruit cheese and cake. Water for your onward journey. We’re at another ‘5 star hotel’ and the extras just don’t live up to Corte San Pietro. Giuseppe was so friendly and everyone was, they cared and you can stay in any hotel with as many stars as you can find but you don’t always get this feeling. Thank you - genuinely

Beautiful property. Very nice breakfast

Superb property with a highly professional and exceptionally helpful and friendly staff and owner. Creative use of the property in a challenging Matera landscape with beautiful use of the natural surroundings. Excellent breakfast and helpful recommendations. First saw the property and met the management team over a decade ago and was treated like returning royalty. A superb place to stay in a wonderous and unique environment. Highly recommended.
