"What an amazing place to stay in Matera. Our room was a large spacious cave-style room with a private “wine cellar” down a long flight of stairs deep into the cave. The room came with everything we needed and the staff were kind and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel when visiting Matera."

"Nun ja. Als wir vor etwa 12 Jahren schon im Albergo Italia genächtigt haben waren wir begeistert. Die riesige Terrasse der King Suite (Zi 115) mit Blick über die Sassi hat uns begeistert. Man hat sich damals gut vorstellen können, dass Mel Gibson während der Dreharbeiten zur „Passion Christi“ hier gewohnt hat.
Aber Matera hat sich verändert. Unzählige Privatzimmer und B&B‘s sind entstanden und man kann sich bei dieser Auswahl heute kaum noch vorstellen, dass sich jemand mehr als nur eine Nacht...

"Posizione dell hotel ottima vicinissima alla spiaggia. Camera arredamento un po vecchiotto, ma tutto sommato siamo stati bene. Abbiamo cenato in albergo ,che dire tutto buono ,menù completo dal primo alla frutta compreso le bevande. Abbiamo deciso di pranzare anche il giorno dopo. Un forte abbraccio al responsabile del ricevimento al sig. Giuseppe molto gentile. ( la spiaggia secondo me non si dovrebbe pagare )"

"Convenient location on side of Autostrada but not well signed so easy to miss turn off.
Sterile atmosphere but room and bed ok.
Dinner in hotel restaurant was basic.
Breakfast items seemed to run out quickly and were reluctantly replaced.
Biggest problem was complete lack of hot water which the hotel did not tell us about at check in."

We were greeted with smiles, and our host was very kind enough to let us check in an hour late. Breakgast was very nice in the morning, and our room was clean and comfortable. When we come back this way, we will stay again!

Very nice room in a quiet, beautiful part of the countryside. Friendly host. Lots of sweet dogs on the property. Many need a bath and a little medical care, in my opinion, but they were a joy to see whenever we came and went. The wifi did not work in our room at all. Dining in the area is limited, but we did find a nice place for pizza nearby.

Clean room, the owner Frank is a very nice person. He provided us a lot of information. Breakfast was nice as well. The road from highway to the property is rough, but once you get there, it’s really a nice place.

We absolutely loved our stay, it couldn’t have been better! The location is fantastic, and staying right in the heart of the historic center made everything even more special. The hotel is wonderful, full of charm and comfort. Truly an unforgettable experience!

This is a unique property in the middle of antic city Matera. Beautiful views from the windows to die for, location, etc. Hotel is in excellent condition, furniture, room design, etc. Breakfast is very good. Great options for fine food in the area. You need to be prepare to walk a lot in the city of Matera with steps up and down including to and from hotel. If you can not walk - it is not for you. Parking (free or paid) is on the street within 10-15 min or so walking. Finding can be a problem....

Hotel first: Basiiani Hotel is a marvel in a town once called the 'Shame of Italy'. It is a hotel that is comprised of several rooms carved into caves that used to be people's homes. It is awesome. The decor, beds, bathroom and amenities all top notch. The staff friendly and the buffet breakfast was great. Highly recommended. Now the town of Matera.... you must go. Truly out of this world and worth every adjective of beauty.

It is understated how amazing the location is. I cannot imagine a better place to stay.
The room was impeccable. Everything was pristine and truly beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. Everything felt new.
The staff were really helpful. They coordinated parking and check-in.
I highly recommend this hotel if you plan to stay in Matera.

What a wonderful place to stay! The hosts were extremely nice and the B&B was immaculate. In the morning we had a blast talking with the owners and enjoying the beautiful spread they made for breakfast. I would recommend this B&B to everyone!

We were in the wellness suite, room 1007. What a fantastic room! Carved out of a cave, with four levels, including a huge hot tub and a sauna, the room was so unique. The bedroom is on the main level, with the bathroom being about 3 steps down, the hot tub about 10 steps down from there and the sauna on the lowest level about 5 more steps down. You will never find another one like this. The staff was very helpful in finding our way around and addressing any needs that we had during this stay....

Great location to get from car park to hotel, store luggage then explore Matera on foot. (We saw a number of guests struggling up and down stairs in the Ild Town with large bags.)
Hotel was “luxury level” clean!! And very well appointed!!

La Dimora di Metello has only been open for 6 months, but I think it has a long and successful run ahead of it. This is a world-class hotel in arguably the most interesting small city in the world.
