    amazing views
    very nice breakfast

    luxurious, luxurious, luxurious

    We were treated to amazing views from our spacious comfort double room, where the fine sunrise over the ancient stones left us in awe. The very nice breakfast spread featured local dairy products and fresh pastries that fueled our days exploring the historic district. Plus, the unique cave bathroom experience added that special touch.

    recommend 😊❤️

    I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed my stay here. The room was fantastic, the location unbeatable. But, more importantly, I was treated more as a friend than as a guest. I was even invited to a party in someone's home. The family who run this hotel clearly love what they do. An experience I will never forget. Highly recommended!

    limited parking options

    The location was perfect, right in the heart of old Matera with amazing views over the ancient stones. The staff was warm, especially Simona, who provided helpful local recommendations.

    Parking situation was a bit inconvenient.

    We stayed for 2 nights in a luxury suite with an amazing view. The room was beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed Prosecco and aperitifs served to us. Perfect location with plenty of nearby restaurants. The breakfast was delicious too!

    uncomfortable bed
    closed reception

    The bed was a total disaster, sinking like a U shape, definetly not what you expect for the price. The reception was closed when I really needed them, how hard is it to keep someone there? Almost considerd a good review but just couldn't due to that lack of comfort
