Staying at this hotel was such a treat! The rooms were quite comfortable and relaxing, complete with incredible views over the Sassi, which is truly one of the most wonderful places I have ever seen. However, the internal set of steps from the entry and bathroom down to the bedroom could be a bit tricky if you're not sure-footed. The service was wonderful, giving a cozy, family-run feel with genuine concern for your welfare. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the Sassi, offering a spectacular living-in-Sassi experience. The dining experience was really good, resonating with the territory and offering a wide selection of local products.

I felt like the hotel captured the essence of Matera's charm with its quaint 'sassi' living conditions, while still offering modern comforts like a bathroom, fridge, and air-con. The room, although a bit small for a longer stay, provided a stunning view of the town and cathedral. However, it didn't quite match the grandeur of the photos.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience as it was inside a cave in the heart of the ancient village, offering a mix of genuine 'sassi' living conditions with modern amenities like a bathroom, fridge, and air conditioning. The view of the spectacular town and cathedral was stunning, but some aspects of the accommodation were disappointing.

Rooms

7.0

The room was amazing with three staircases and two bathrooms, but the attempt to preserve the genuine feel of the original living conditions was a bit too much for my taste. However, the modern bathroom, fridge, and air conditioning were much appreciated.

Service

The service observed the 'rules' set by the hotel and the view of the spectacular town and cathedral was beautiful from my room's little terrace.

Location

The location set within the Sassi was truly special with a beautiful view of Sasso Barisano and the imposing duomo high on the opposite ridge. Being near restaurants and shops made it a convenient place to stay in Matera.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the ambience and atmosphere of the room where breakfast was served. The spread of fresh fruits, cheeses, pastries, and espresso-based coffees was fantastic, although I wish there were more breakfast options.

Facilities

The hotel had nice facilities, including a terrace with patio furniture, but the slow and unhelpful service was a downside.
