On a multi month trip, this was the highlight! There service was the best we have experienced (Including many 5 star hotels). The breakfast was amazing!. And I do admire there incredible language skills with the best English we have heard so far in Italy. I wish my Italian was anywhere close to that good. Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

This property is amazing!!! The rooms are spectacular, unique and very comfortable. The staff was amazing!!! I’m sure I’ll spell their names wrong but they are phenomenal. Paola, Francesco (front desk) and Valeria from the breakfast area were amazing. I truly can’t say enough great things about them.

What a fantastic & unique stay! I loved the idea of being able to stay in surroundings that make this town so The staff are exceptionally friendly & took plenty of time to explain the area & give recommendations which were exceptional! The location is fantastic! A close walk to the old town but also close enough to the outskirts that make parking easy. Great stay! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Your perfect hotel in Matera!!!!

Just perfect spot to stay- you are perfectly located- can drop yr luggage from your car 20 yards away and Francesco is super helpful to get it to your room. Parking for the car is 3 blocks away in a super safe place. Then you check into this amazing room in a cave that is subtle but surreal- all the conforts of today in a cave!! Steps away from the best areas in this 9000 years old city!!! Just an amazing small hotel, great tips to go for dinner (la loppa) and all around perfect Matera experience.

La struttura è incastonata nel Sasso Caveoso, e ne ha mantenuto tutti i tratti distintivi, scavata nella calcarenite (arenaria) tipica dei Sassi, seppur totalmente rinnovata e arredata in maniera splendida con dettagli che riportano in vita antichi oggetti del passato. La gestione dei due fratelli Paola e Francesco è quel qualcosa in più che ti fa sentire a casa, ti da l'impressione di essere venuti a trovare due vecchi amici (anche se li conosci da 10 minuti); si siedono lì con te a raccontarti la storia di Matera, dalla "vergogna d'Italia" fino alla "Capitale della Cultura 2019", a raccontarti la vita vera dei loro nonni nei Sassi, e a scrivere tutto quello che potresti vedere/fare/assaggiare/sorseggiare...a darti un consiglio via Whatsapp anche per un semplice gelato.. proprio come i veri amici fanno! Niente è lasciato al caso. La colazione, nonostante le modifiche alla modalità imposte dai protocolli anti-Covid è spettacolare, abbondante e variegata. La pulizia della struttura si attesta su livelli di eccellenza. Non so quanto il mio parere possa contare, ma quando mi capiterà di essere a Matera, tornerò dai miei "vecchi" nuovi amici.

L’eccellenza e’ di casa.

Raramente impiego del tempo per inserire recensioni, ma questo soggiorno e questa struttura mi hanno decisamente colpito. Questa coppia di ragazzi, con la loro passione, sono riusciti a costruire una struttura piccola, ma favolosa. Eccezionale la cura costruttiva della camera integrata nel sasso di Matera. Ho ricevuto indicazioni molto dettagliate sulla storia della città e sulle sue attrazioni, molto meglio di una guida turistica! L’unica carenza la distanza dei parcheggi, ma ampiamente compensata dalle attenzioni dei titolari, giovanissimi ma animati da una sana passione, che traspare nella cura maniacale dei dettagli. Ciliegina sulla torta: una colazione abbondante e gustosa. Da viaggiatore navigato posso asserire con tranquillità: il miglior soggiorno di cui abbia ricordo. 10 e lode. Grazie.

Situé à l'entrée des "sassi", un petit établissement de quatre chambres troglodytes tenu par une famille très sympathique qui vous donnera de bons conseils pour visiter la ville, dîner... La ville de Matera est fantastique et vaut largement le détour par la région de Basilicate.
