The property is well located and has a stunning view. The property has a great location close to a lot of major sites and dining options. From the initial shuttle service to our car and hospitable staff, the hotel is a great stay.

Great hotel in the hear of the massi. Awesome staff and lovely room

it is a wonderful experience to stay in this stylish cave hotel. The design of the room is beautiful and the location is perfect right in the Sassi. The staff pick you up at the place where you park your car and take you and your bags straight to the hotel . Very convenient. The give you great information when you arrive where to go and how you can spend your days to make the most of your stay in Matera. In the hotel they have saves a lot of the original cave structure and has lit up the rooms very nicely- The beds are comfortable and the room we have was very spacious and had room for 4 people. The breakfast is OK with fresh fruits, yougurts , bread, cheese, ham and pastries.

Perfect location in Matera! The staff is so kind and helpful. Great breakfast and super comfortable bed. We would definitely stay again :)

Clean and well located

A cave in Matera with a view. You just has to experience it.

This is the best hotel we have ever lived in Italy. Very unique and super spacious considering its location. The staff was so caring and very informative. Our whole experience here was amazing.

This hotel was so cool! The view is stunning! We definitely appreciated the free parking outside of the downtown (perfect directions provided by the hotel) and the shuttle to/from the hotel. The room was spacious and had a loft. We were 4 people and had lots of space. The lighting used was perfect for the cave setting and the light up furniture was a hit with my kids. We also appreciated having AC as it was very hot in June. The surrounding area was easily walkable (but be warned, there are a lot of stairs in matera!) and we got to the various sites easily. Breakfast was included and was great. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

This location is amazing. Probably the best spot in Matera.

Front desk staff were knowledgeable, polite and nice! Eager to assist where they could. Drive was very good! Provided information along the way. Drawing out the map was great information! Breakfast was great. Rooms really nice. Enjoyed everything!

Very friendly staff, after only one day they made me feel already like someone they knew. Bravo!

The staff was attentive and pleasant, the rooms were comfortable, and the ancient city was fascinating.

I would give the service at this place 10 stars out of 5 if I could! We arrived at some random bus stop in the bottom of town because their main station is closed for remodeling, so I didn't really know where we were when I called the shuttle. Nino just asked me the name of the street & came to get us. By the next morning, we had fallen in love with the town and changed our itinerary for the rest of the trip to spend more time in Matera, but they didn't have space for us to stay longer. They called around and found us a place at another amazing hotel. When it was time to check out, they had it all arranged to simply simply transfer our bags and pick up new keys at the other hotel. As for the hotel itself, the rooms were huge, clean and very unique. Very cool hotel in an amazing town.

A marvelous cave with new design.

We had a great stay at Basiliani. The room was large and very nicely decorated. Excellent breakfast and staff.

Amazing location

If I could give more than five stars to this hotel, I would. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the location perfect -- beautiful views just outside our door and transportation a short essy walk away. Our room was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the simplicity of the furnishings, which complemented the hotel's surroundings. The breakfast bar was delicious! Thanks to everyone at Hotel Basiliani for a beautiful vacation.

Our experience was absolutely perfect. The hotel provided clear and courteous parking instructions, a super fast shuttle (to and from the free parking area), fast check-in and luggage assistance all the way into our room. The room is clean, spacious, modern enough to feel fun and yet it retains the feeling of the Sassi. The town is beautiful and the people are so kind and out-going. Our breakfast was wonderful and fresh each day and they make espresso and cappucino for you as well. We hope to come back to Sassi di Matera and will definitely stay here.

Wonderful experience in a cave! Beautiful, clean room with an incredible bathroom with spa shower. Easily accessible hotel (great shuttle service to and from parking) within historic part of city with tremendous view of caves and canyon! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff and great breakfast. Highly recommend!

Unique cave rooms with in an amazing setting. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Shuttle picks you up but close to many excellent restaurants and shops. Beautiful town with an incredible history. Breakfast was very good and plentiful.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Basiliani Hotel. Very cool room, great breakfast, stunning views and a wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. They even came and saved us when we got lost 😃. Definitely click on the link they send you for parking instructions…

Such a unique place. Worth the visit and stay

extraordinary service, super friendly, clean, great breakfast with a great variety of fresh fruit etc.

This hotel is in a very good location. The sunrise view is spectacular. The apartment is quite impressive and very large. The breakfast is terrific. There are pleanty of choices.

Roberto, Nino at front desk plus Roberto driver are all awesome. Great location, breakfast and hotel. A little dark at night though, could use an extra light or two for the walkway area. Other than that this is a wonderful stay.

Both our driver from free parking and reception staff were amazing! Our receptionists spent 10 minutes helping us understand history and sites to see

The location of H Basiliani is absolutely stunning, on the side of the gorge, in the middle of Matera's sassi area. There are cave dwellings (some renovated, some not) either side of the hotel buildings, and the breakfast terrace and some of the rooms (including ours) have panoramic views across the gorge at older caves on the other side. Our room was very large (split level, obviously meant for a family rather than just the two of us!), calm and comfortable. My only criticism is that the bathroom was about due for another coat of paint. Because the hotel is in the historic area, you cannot drive to it. You need to leave your car somewhere in the modern part of town (the hotel can advise on a choice of car-parks), and then call the hotel, who send their shuttle to collect you and your luggage. They also offered to shuttle us back to our car if we wanted to go out for the day, but there is enough in Matera (within walking/climbing distance) to keep you busy for a couple of days, so we didn't bother. I have read complaints about people waiting for the shuttle - this is only a small hotel, so there are only one or two vehicles - as long as you know there might be a wait, I don't see this as an issue. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and I can't think of a better location to stay in Matera! If this is your first visit to Matera, bring a satnav or a decent map. The street signs in the modern town are dreadful, and we spent nearly an hour driving round completely lost.

Good location

Spacious accommodation, nearly a small house! Great view, nice breakfast. Shuttle to the free parking about 2k away. Friendly helpful staff. All good

The property is located in the historic area and has amazing views at its doorstep. The rooms were immaculate. The staff was friendly and was very accommodating to our special requests.

This is a fantastic boutique hotel. The room was so comfortable. It has the most comfortable bed we’ve experienced in Italy. Clean, modern rooms in a gorgeous historical setting. The staff was so kind and helpful. They offer a shuttle service from a parking lot outside of town that made things so much easier. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel located in what used to be cave houses. Great location in Sassi and amazing view of the gorge. Very much appreciated the directions to free parking at the university and the complimentary hotel shuttle which arrived quickly and made parking easy and stress free. Friendly and helpful staff who provided a map of where to go and all major sights which are within walking distance. Some lovely restaurants also close by. Great mini bar and fridge with good selection of drinks and snacks and inexpensive. Only slight negative would be that the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC but despite this is very clean. Would stay again and fully recommend.
