"Not worth the money.
Matera is beautiful and unique, very worthing visiting.
But the hotel itself was below our expectation, with such an expensive room rate. No kettle to boil hot water, no conditioner in the bath room. The room was decorated as old time "Sassi" but rather too empty and simple.
The view outside the room was nice though."
"We enjoyed everything about the hotel; friendly staff, convenient location, clean n big room except for 2 things :
- the toilet is not enclosed ie it has no door. My husband and I had to take turn to leave the room when we want to use it.
- the hotel did a fantastic job to notify us about options of parking. It was quite a task to drag our luggage up and down from the car park to the hotel along the cobblestone road. The hotel could have offered portal service to their guests especially for elderly guests"
"The hotel is incredible and the staff is as well. We absolutely loved our stay. It was truly a unique experience. However, guests should know that because the hotel is literally incorporated into the caves, it can be physically demanding climbing all the stone stairs. People with mobility issues will definitely struggle at this hotel"
"I would highly rate the location of this hotel. It is 2 minutes away from the main square and getting into Sassi. 10/10 if you're looking for a place close to the tourist attractions, but don't want to drag your bags through the stairs of the Sassi.
The rooms were very clean, and were left very clean every day by the cleaners. It does feel more like a business hotel than a vacation hotel.
The staff was alright, they weren't super friendly, but they weren't rude either - which made us feel more like a business hotel type of vibe.
The parking situation is confusing - they do have a parking garage for €18/night, however it's first come first serve, so not guaranteed to get a place. BUT, it's also in the ZTL zone - they do make you sign a form with your license plate to make sure you don't get fined, but I'd say rather find parking in the nearby streets outside ZTL or there's a parking garage 3-4 mins walking distance that's outside ZTL.
This communication of parking was also alright from the hotel, and it was more so of figure it out yourself. Don't get me wrong, the staff is nice, but the hotels we stayed in, in rest of Italy, the hospitality there was next level, which is why the staff here felt average.
But overall, highly recommend this hotel for the cleanliness, top location, breakfast, good rooms!"
"Giuseppe was very kind and attentive when he welcomed us. He showed us all the amenities of the resort and explained what the farm produces and all the products that come from it, which are 100% organic: olive oil, jams, honey, etc. It was fascinating!"
