Extra: we had a wonderful guide (Liborio) booked via the hotel, he made us fall in love with the history of Matera, starting from the memories of his own family, who also lived for many generations in a house carved out of lime stone...just amazing More

It's been a little over a month since I stayed in Matera and I'm still smiling about it. The city is a special place -- it feels very alive but ancient at the same time, and is a joy to walk around and explore. This hotel made our experience absolutely perfect. I wouldn't use "perfect" lightly but it really does... More

We based our accommodation on the reviews from TA and we were not disappointed. The hotel was converted from the old church and if you look carefully you will notice arches and the spot where the altar once was. The access is not that convenient from the main road but that is to be expected from the venue in the... More

I stayed for three days with my wife in a standard double room in this boutique hotel built from and old cave church. The idea of a hotel located among the "sassis" and close to some of the best restraurants like La Talpa is great but its furnishing is too much minimalist with no chair/armchair and only a stool. Also... More

We took a taxi from Alberobello to Sassi, which the driver dropped us off at the nearest path to the hotel. We had to carry our big luggages, followed the clear signs and walked through the steps for about 5 mins, but it all worths it when you get to the hotel. Staffs are very friendly, rooms are excellent, very... More

From it's perfect location in the middle of the Sassi, to the friendly and helpful staff to the immaculately clean room, this place delivers everything a 5 star hotel should deliver - right down to the slippers they provide and the top-of-the-line toiletries. We stayed in the suite with the terrace and it was lovely. Double shower, fine linens, comfortable... More

This is one of the rare places on earth that you feel privileged to be a part of. The fact that it is in the sassi and harder to find makes it even more appealing as it adds to the mystery of Matera. I stayed here on my own in August 2011 and the staff could not have Been more... More

If you are visiting southern Italy, I would definitely recommend a visit to Matera and this hotel. Set in amongst the Sassi, the hotel is a refurbished 13th century church carved out of stone. The rooms are like caves, but furnished and well lit. We stayed in a deluxe room, and it had 2 floors, high, arching ceilings and a... More
