Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

Beautiful! The Roman baths were amazing! Location was sublime A little tough to get there with bags.

Air conditioning

I just posted a rave review of this hotel on TripAdvisor, but the gist is, it's a unique, historic place and well worth the money. Beautiful -- both the hotel and the historic old town of Matera. I wish they would turn on their air conditioning system when it gets hot in May, but like many hotels, there is a specific time when they go from heating to air conditioning.

The place is in the middle of Sassi and close to all amenities. Room was clean and quiet, with outstanding view. Its one of the bigger hotels in the area, so many groups stay there. Be ready for it when Breakfast are served ;-) We liked to SPA, definitely a must if you decide to stay there. And stay in the reception area if you can, take depandance room only if you have to.

The thermae and the bathroom. A little difficult to find. We were not given maps on how to get around.

Cave used as a room hotel. Close to the town center. - misleading info on Booking about A/C, but in the room was very humid. - No balconybehind, only few chairs in the front of the room. - No tea cattle to prepare hot tea - 1 trash can only, could be 2 in the toilet, where was an extra sink area

Locations Not a thing

Fabulous place to stay in Matera. Not only do you get to stay in a beautifully appointed cave, but they also have a lovely spa, with Roman baths, Turkish steam, sauna and relaxing in cave pool. Ample breakfast. Location is perfect and right in the historic area. The staff were ideal. Internet is available but inside the cave was not always reliable.

Breakfast was very nice with multiple choices of cheese, pastries, and coffee.

Our room was a luxury room built into a cave with a most amazing view. It was like nowhere I’ve ever stayed before and I will always remember it. Their driver shuttled us to our parking location even though we were fairly far out. Helpful and professional staff. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like about it.

Great location and friendly staff. Our unit was a family apartment that was detached from the Locanda. Upon arrival our shuttle driver gave us a quick tour of the layout and how to get back and forth from our unit to the hotel proper. The space was amazing set inside the side of the sandstone cliffs. The room was very clean and thoughtfully designed. We even had our own sunny patio. Lots of steps! So make sure you are in good shape before booking here. It’s part of the charm of Metera.

The service, location, room size and quality were all extremely impressive.

We booked it with a really good price without a lot of tourists. Really special room and beautiful views. The breakfast is amazing. Highly recommend！ Everything is perfect

Everything, from the view to the apartment. Humidity inside the house

Comfy room Good breakfast

Beautiful rooms - thoughtfully appointed and spacious. Comfortable bed, nice bed linens and towels. Delightful breakfast. Nothing

Great location, the spa was amazing, and the rooms are good and spacious. No ac because it’s “winter” so the room would get hot at night unless we opened a window.

Beautiful and conveniently located excellent breakfast included

Location, spa and breakfast Could have been better informed about location and how to arrive with a car

Historically accurate cave rooms, very nice spa and a yummy free breakfast. Nothing we didn’t like
