    The included breakfast was a great touch. Multiple options and served wherever you prefer on the grounds. Pillows were good but Beds felt a little too firm for my liking.

    The air conditioning did not work in room. It was soooooo hot in room

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The breakfast was ok, not great because we like eggs in the morning. It was a more than adequate continental breakfast that you order the day before. Older male staff person does not belong in the hospitality business. He did not smile, initiate eye contact , conversation, or a simple hello.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Pretty much everything. Location. Its unique beauty and character. The breakfast. Most of the staff. The man who served us breakfast seemed constantly annoyed at us and never smiled. We were quiet, considerate guests. His demeanor kind of ruined the mood each morning. All the other staff were wonderful!

    Very cool room - in a cave! Was too dark and bathroom was very slippery- dangerous

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Excellent location, good breakfast, very nice welcome

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Unique cave-style room – different experience, but for maximum 1–2 nights * girl at Reception was friendly and polite Location & access: Far from main center, shops and parking * Many stairs, difficult with luggage * We arrived in the rain and had to carry luggage for about 15 minutes. It was hard to find the hotel Comfort: Beds and pillows very hard * Extra bed very uncomfortable and squeaky * Only one pillow per person Room & atmosphere: Very dark room with very little natural light * Not enough lighting in the room * Can feel depressing for longer stays * No proper closet, only 3 hangers and a rod. Had to keep out clothes in the suitcases. Bathroom: Very poor water pressure in the sink * Toiletries were not replaced (soap, shower cap…) Temperature: Heating in the room and bathroom turned off at night * Room gets very cold Amenities: TV only in Italian (all synchronized), nothing for non-Italian speakers. No YouTube or Netflix. But we did have a free wifi Breakfast: Very limited selection * Few slices of ham and cheese and croissants * breakfast must be ordered one day in advance by writing how many slices of ham or bread you want. No salad, no eggs….. very limited selection Check-in: Arrived at 11 AM soaking wet from the rain * Not allowed early check-in at all * Had to wait until 2 PM exactly Overall: The cave concept is interesting, but due to comfort and lighting issues, it is suitable only for a short stay (1–2 nights).

    It was a wonderful location, very clean, and breakfast was good. Our room was beautiful but we were expecting more of a cave experience.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was beautiful and so comfortable! There was so much room! The location was great and the breakfast with option to have it in your room was wonderful!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was just beautiful with the stone walls and ceiling plus the staff are super helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in the heart old part of the city with amazing streets and walkways to explore almost right out your door. Lots of restaurants to choose from as you explore the old city. The breakfast service at the hotel is a real bonus to get your morning of exploring started as once you start to roam the streets your camera is going to get a workout.

    Staff and breakfast were excellent!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Amazing room À Little challenging to get there with luggage

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Dust / Dirt dripping off from the ceiling (right on top of the bed). We stayed during hot Summer but one of the air conditioners was not working well (but they provided an electric fan). Well, the costs of one or two nights should be able to get a decent brand new air conditioner.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    We loved our cave room. It was spectacular. It was large, we had access too smart TV, the location was awesome

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Matera is truly unbelievable, and this hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of it all. Very close to a main plaza and plenty of restaurants to pick from, it is located in a perfect spot. The room is quite unique and very spacious. Beds were comfortable enough for a good night rest after all the daily activities. Breakfast was very good.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Great location. Property is very nice, clean and comfortable. The room was lovely. The staff are not all all service oriented. Very inflexible. Its ridiculous that you can check in only at 16.00 hrs and have to check out by 10.00 am. You have to indicate exactly what you wanted for breakfast and the time the night before and literally only nothing else was available. Very odd system.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Beautiful room with a great view. Breakfast brought to our room which we enjoyed on our balcony. Nothing!

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The cave room was very unique, clean and close to dining & sights. The breakfast was very nice. Would have enjoyed staying longer. The extra cot was very squeaky when turning over in bed. The location was a long walk from parking garage especially when raining. Recommend arranging a taxi to & from parking structure.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Extremely unique hotel built in to the cave walls located in the old city of Matera. Very clean with an amazing staff. Parking is very confusing. We selected the parking garage option but the GPS doesn’t take it to the right garage.

    The management was excellent
