Perfectly located with stunning views

Perfect location if you are driving. You can park out of the ZLT and walk 5-10min to the hotel without having to go up and down the hill. The views from my room were unreal and the receptionist Vivian was super nice with her recommendations

Lovely setting would definitely recommend. You need to be able to walk as property not accessible via car. Our room needed refreshing with a lick of paint but otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

Staying in the heart of the Sassi in Matera was truly a unique and unforgettable experience. Being surrounded by such ancient history, carved into the rock, makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another time. The atmosphere is simply magical—especially in the early morning and at night, when everything is quiet and beautifully lit. Waking up in the middle of the Sassi is something very special that I would recommend to anyone visiting Matera. The accommodation itself was comfortable and well-prepared, blending modern amenities with the charm and authenticity of the historic setting. It’s not just a place to stay, but part of the entire Matera experience. Overall, I would absolutely recommend staying in the Sassi if you want something truly different and memorable.

Breakfast was a buffet with a good selection of cold foods, coffee, tea etc. The room was very spacious with a fridge and TV. There was no safe available in the room. The bathroom had both a bath and excellent shower. One thing we didn't like was a window shutter out of reach on a string to open and close. However it didn't close properly so the sunlight came into the room very early. When you are not a great sleeper anyway this was disappointing. There is a bar in the hotel which closed early but a member of staff got some drinks for us when requested

Amazing!

It's right in the middle of the sassi. I took taxi from the bus station, cost 15eur. Nice view from the room. Very helpful staff who can speak English. Breakfast was good, too!

For a memorable night or weekend, this is an exceptional place to stay. Close to the town centre and with breathtaking views over Matera, it's well worth a visit. The room was clean, spacious and very stylish. We only suffered from the air conditioning which didn't seem to work and cool the whole room, while it was extremely hot during our stay. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The person pointed out places to see and walk around Matera with very valuable local insights and for which we are grateful.

Interesting experience

Interesting to stay in one of the "cave" rooms. It's a bit of a trek to reach on foot (only option) but worth it. Our room was cramped because if the configuration but had good view from two small windows and external terrace. Hearty breakfast. Helpful staff. Not great value for money. You pay for the experience.

You couldn't ask for a better view from the hotel. Staying in a cave was pretty unique but the humidity led to a mildew smell and the sheets felt wet. The staff were not friendly but did their job’s perfunctory. More information about where to park would be very helpful as there is none nearby since the hotel is in a restricted driving area.

If you’re looking to stay in the heart of the Historic Center, this is your place. Be prepared to walk over rocky roads and go up and down the road stairs, which is not bad if you want to exercise a little bit while vacationing. Room was a little too small for my taste but very clean and comfortable. View from my room window was incredible! Hotel doesn’t offer parking (paid or free). You need to find a paid parking spot on the nearby streets (around $10 Euros for 10 hours). Breakfast was good.

This place is awesome. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the city that was incredible. Yes, the room is small but considering your in a building that is hundreds and hundreds of years old, maybe thousand of years, who cares! You have a window overlooking the 3rd oldest city in the world! Yes, it is about a15 minute walk from the parking garage to the hotel but you have to walk everywhere in Matera anyway, and once you make a turn close to the hotel and see the city for the first time , it will be all worth it. Suggest packing a couple of backpacks with everything need like we did. Would advise against trying to wheel large suitcases over the uneven pavement and stairs.

Hôtel très agréable avec une vue magnifique sur Sasso. Pas facile d'y arriver surtout avec une grosse valise, mais c'est le prix à payer pour profiter de cette très belle situation, surtout la nuit! Le personnel est d'une extrême gentillesse.
