I think a renovated cave stay is an amazing opportunity that should be done if visiting Matera and was a good location. We did appreciate getting help with our bags to the taxi on check out. We had previously walked with them from the car park which was difficult so I would definitely recommend this option.

Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was...
Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was Matera was definitively worth 1 full day or 2, especially if you hike to the point of view on the other side of the little canyon, and/or visit a few historic monuments. We could not visit the famous trogloditic crypts of the original sin since the touristic site to make the compulsory reservations (1 day in advance) is such an absurd mess.

The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia.
The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia. The ancient city is exceptional and definitely worth staying over the night . You easily get lost when walking around (GPS is not very helpful) but it is part of the adventure;) . Be prepared to climb many steps and take your time to enjoy the unique climate of the place.

Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi...
Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi and cave dwellings. There are also some interesting attractions that you can visit to gain a better understanding of how people used to live and what Matera went through before becoming a UNESCO site and the amazing place it is today.
One such attraction is Casa Noha, which is a multimedia demonstration inside a historic stone house. It provides a helpful insight into the history of Matera and the struggles of cave-dwelling life.
Another interesting place to visit is Casa Grotta nei Sassi di Matera, which is not just a cave-dwelling but also a living museum. You can experience what it was like to live in a cave with a straw bed, tiny kitchen, and livestock all within the confines of the cave.
Chiesa Rupestre della Madonna della Croce is a church located on the other side of the Sassi. It offers great views and is definitely worth the drive from Matera.

We had a wonderful time at Matera.
We had a wonderful time at Matera. The people were very friendly even though the season was just about to start and alot of facilities were still closed. We had a great first of the season meal at Enoteca dai Tosi with a tour of the facility. Tasted new wine, delicious meats from the local butcher, local cheeses, and some dishes from the new menu. The town is so beautiful, that you can't take a bad picture. You must prepare for a lot of stairs and walking...have comfortable shoes...
The town was even prettier at night. It was great! We wanted to stay longer and keep exploring....
perfectly located in the old part of Matera.
Staff was very friendly and responsive as we checked by message for parking solution.
We parked just 300 m away from the hotel in a secured car park where we left our bikes at the car.
The room in a cave was perfect for us to cool down and relax before we went out to explore in the later afternoon.
We arrived in August so it was super hot during the day.
Breakfast also very good, dog friendly, wifi worked well.
We hope to be able to come back.
We loved our stay immensely. Our room was absolutely beautiful (we were upgraded as I think there had been a cancellation) and the staff were absolutely lovely, and we felt at home immediately. The location is first class, and having a bubble bath in a cave like room was one of the highlights of our Italy trip so far. Breakfast the next day was exceptional also. Make sure you go down to the see the historic cisterns when you have finished with breakfast. We highly recommend when in Matera!
We stayed two nights in Matera at Fra I Sassi. It was a fantastic hotel in a perfect location in the Sassi. The view from our room’s own terrace was absolutely breathtaking. The room was in a restored cave but modern, beautiful and spotless. The property was peaceful and secure. All the staff were lovely, and breakfast was super. We used the parking and transport service offered by the hotel and it was worth the extra cost. Matera is magical and so is this hotel!
The owner was super nice, communicative and her English was excellent. You can tell they have the customer experience really well thought out.
Bed was comfy, room was gorgeous and clean, room was also big with balcony access which was lovely for sipping wine in the evening.
Breakfast was the best free hotel breakfast we've had across our 10 days in Italy. The spread wasn't huge but it was high quality. It surpassed even the 5* Marriotts we've been to.
The apartment is as you see in the photos, everything clean and very comfortable beds. Good breakfast is provided; varied juices, milk, coffee, fresh fruit, toasts and yogurts, much better than most hotels in Italy. The location is top as you are right in the centre. And the host goes far and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, from explaining a bit of history about Matera to providing a complementary bottle of wine. 100% recommend to stay here.
Brilliant location, a few hundred metres from Matera’s historic centre yet superbly quiet & calm with plenty of secure parking & a very pleasant pool to relax by. Extremely nice & plentiful breakfast served in a light & airy breakfast room - which you really appreciate after all Matera’s cave dwellings! Hotel staff very helpful, gave us town maps & good recommendations for restaurants within 5-10 minutes walk.
We loved this hotel. It e as centrally located and a perfect base for exploring the fascinating town of Matera. Our room was in one of the cave dwellings and offered a totally unique stay with all the modern facilities of a super clean room, fantastic shower and very comfortable bed. The buffet style breakfast had a great variety of quality local produce and all members of staff were delightful.
Our "cave room" was fantastic, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Great views from our window and from the hotel premises. Also the best breakfast we had in Italy by quite a margin, with everything from newly baked foccacia to fresh fruits. The staff was helpful with informing us on where to walk to see the most of Matera. No luxury hotel, but everything we wanted from a hotel in Matera.
Can’t decide if the hotel design, scent, location or the service was more exceptional… It is a unique hotel, worth every effort to stay there. Their service is top notch. We had two bedrooms (4 adults) and everyone was so pampered and we felt relaxed, happy, woke up in beautiful bedding and ambience. Did I mention the scent of their rooms?? Fantastic stay, we will happily always go back!
The breakfast here was awesome! Everything in my room was pretty clean, and the balcony was a treat. Staff very friendly! About a 10 minute drive from a parking garage where you can park and then walk down into Matera and you can park for free on the hotel property. Definitely an ideal way to see Matera so you’re not driving down all the tiny narrow roads in the city.
Being in the heart of the Sassi was the best part of our stay. The views were incredible all the way around! We appreciated this little hotel despite its shortcomings - nothing compares to having this cave experience and imaging what Matera was like was back in the day, this was truly special. It was so easy walking everywhere from here. We honestly loved it!
I loved this hotel the staff were extremely helpful and friendly
The room was amazing with the rustic cave walls and we could see down into the caves below
The breakfast was brilliant and looked lovely laid out ready for the morning
It was nice having a little area to sit out side
The location was perfect for exploring Matera
We absolutely loved our stay here, incredible cave apartment, styled beautifully in the heart of Matera. The bathroom was amazing and the bed so comfortable. Such a unique and memorable place to stay… cannot wait to return back here hopefully one day , and will be recommending to any friends that plan to visit Italy
Staff were fantastic. Prior to arrival they sent us a message with detailed directions on how to get to the hotel - these directions were critical as we arrived at night and walked into Matera in the dark. Owner also gave us a map a suggested walking route to visit the city and it was perfect.
Words can't express how much we loved this hotel. It is small and charming and close to everything. We elected to have breakfast, which was actually served at the hotel across the street. Breathtaking views of Matera. Everything was wonderful. Will stay again!!!
An exceptional experience, cave rooms are beautifully done. Lovely staff. Great agreement with local car park and provide shuttle to hotel. Great position to explore Matera. Just be aware, unsurprisingly, the cave rooms are quite damp.
The location is tops near the main piazza and hub of Matera. The arrangement the hotel has with a nearby garage for parking. And the receptionist was so helpful in setting you up for the visit
Service at the highest level! The staff treats this place like home. This is definitely the best hotel I have stayed in Italy. I advise everyone to choose this hotel😍
