    Small nuisance: the shower, although new and comfortable, leaked through the door.

    Great location. We had two adjacent rooms with a single balcony overlooking the Sassi. The rooms were carved out in the rock, adding to the flavor. The breakfast was very good.

    The bathroom was extremely small, very difficult to have a proper shower.

    The location of the room was very good with the view of the Sassi. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. The rooms were in a good condition. Also, they had a good breakfast spread.

    The rooms were scattered so had to drag the suitcase back and fort the reception, but I got some help though.

    The room "in the cave" was amazing. The bathroom a couple of stairs down gave the idea how the cavehouses were built. My son enjoyed the bathtube. The breakfast was very good.

    A bit hard to find just by following navigation apps, as the signal is not always the best there. Difficult to find parking nearby due to ZTL (Zone Traffic Limited) and we had to walk with our baggage from where we parked to the hotel.

    Location is excellent, we could see most of Sassi from our windows, simply a breathtaking view! Close to various points in Sassi, 10-15 minutes walking from main attractions. The room was small, but cozy and more than enough for a short stay. The room has good AC, so even the higher temperatures from outside should not cause any issues inside. Breakfast was good and varied, self-serving buffet with a variety of options. Staff was very welcoming and helpful, provided us directions and recommended us some good restaurants.

    hotel does not have own parking, nor deal with any parking garage, they only suggest You where to look for parking space....and in busy Matera it can be tricky

    Probably the best position in Sassi Matera Not so easy to came by car but manageable Cave style room Easy check in Polite reception staff overall clean Good Breakfast Incredible view from the terrace Excellent shower

    i havent been in any of the other hotel /B&B of Matera, but i got away with the feeling that the terrace from this room has the best view of Matera. you can see directly to the main square and church, the sunset was beautifull and the nigh was magical. Buy a botle of good wine and enjoy. a memory for ever

    None. The location is acceptable with few stairs to climb to from the main piazza.

    I totally amazed with the view from our sassi room! Probabyly the cheapest hotel I paid for my Italy trip but it has the best view. Right into Sassi Barisano! The hotel is small just fit a bed and toilet but good enough for 2 of us! I missed my breakfast.

    We had a wonderful stay here! The room location was a positive surprise and the view was quite pretty from our window, but also the hotel's lobby area overlooking the city. You are staying in a cave-like room, so you need to be tollerant of door sizes, cobblestone road and some stairs towards the hotel, but it's an enjoyable experience for older people too, since I was there with an older family member!

    The hotel felt old and rusty - the rooms could use some refreshening. The bathroom was a bit small.

    The hotel is situated in the old town of Matera with an amazing view - our room had a small window looking at the Duomo. In the evening there was a restaurant below with live italian music. The breakfast was nice and tasty, again with an amazing view.

    The hotel is in the city centre. I recommend that you pack your belongings in a backpack so you don't have to carry a suitcase. Everyone at the reception was very friendly, as well as at breakfast in the morning. The breakfast has lots of things salami, cheese, fruit, sweet, baked etc. The hotel is lovely, has a great view - our room had a terrace with a view. If you want a romantic, nice, hotel I recommend it. We left the car in the Nicoletti parking - you have to leave the keys in the car but everything was fine they are very friendly. Parking for 24 hours was 20€.
