If I could give 100 stars I would. Our expectations were exceeded in every way possible. From check-in being a breeze, to the staff taking note of a message I had sent and wishing my Father happy birthday, to upgraded rooms for the occasion, everything was perfect. They shared the incredible history of the hotel and the property did an exquisite job rennovating the location to maintain its original features. Any question or ask that we had they answered immediately. The rooms were gorgeous, the baths were luxurious and all of the products on site were so nice. We booked the private dinner option and it was out of this world. The food was exquisite and the venue was remarkable. They went so out of their way to make our stay beyond what we could have ever expected. My only regret was not staying longer!

The breakfast was so incredibly delicious, fresh, beautiful, thoughtfully laid out, extensive and varied, healthy, and had original local freshly baked breakfast sweets. The location is a once and a lifetime experience. We also had a private trou of the city with an archeologist whose grandmother had lived in the caves until her 20s and just died at 94. The staff is very thoughtful and organized; they greatly respect the meaning of the history there. We love this place and will never forget it. We learned about history in a visceral way, sleeping a cave that goes back 8,000 years (now with a comfortable bed and running water and beautiful local fruit to great you. HIghly r3ecommend.

We originally booked one of the cave rooms. We ended up changing. It just wasn’t for me. I think a great experience for maybe a night. But they are really damp and dark. You need a torch to see your suitcase. And we were traveling as an adult family so the open bathroom was an issue. The toilet was behind my son’s bed. And you have to keep your door open so you can get a bit of light in and people just walk in to have a look. Some people may love it but it wasn’t fun for me. So they switched us to a room in “the palace”. Up a lot of stairs but wow!!!! One of the most beautiful rooms I have ever stayed in. The view was spectacular. Loved every second of it

Booked this as a fancier stay as part of our wider Italy trip and it didn't disappoint! Check in was a breeze, with a good tour and explanation of the site (a prior monastery!). Our room was impressive, set within a cave, very cosy and romantic with lots of candles. I suppose that the rooms differ greatly but we were thrilled with ours. Breakfast was incredible set within their candlelit restaurant, lots of variety of hot and cold foods, fruits and cakes. Location wise it had impressive views over the valley and was down the road from a number of great restaurants and cafes. As with any location in Matera, do expect a lot of steps!

What a gem of a hotel. So many wonderful nooks and crannies, bursting with history. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a fantastic location, serviced by a shuttle where you park your car and dismantle your cases. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Everything from start to finish was perfection, from the candlelit room and bathroom, to the cocktails we had under the vines, and to the breakfast which is one of the best spreads we've ever had (our group agreed the scrambled eggs were some of the tastiest we had ever had). Five stars from me. Grazie mille!
