My fiancé and i had an incredible experience at this property - we wished we had stayed longer than just one night! We were welcomed with welcome drinks up on the rooftop overlooking the beautiful Sassi di Matera. The staff was so friendly and helpful with recommendations as needed. The room we stayed in was a cave room - so cool and updated with AC and everything! Our room was near the reception which initially had us nervous but it was actually very quiet. We loved the walkability and the convenience! The parking situation - which could have been difficult with the rules of cars in Matera - was made very simple with scheduled departures and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great experience and only complaint is that we wish we stayed longer! Thank you to the kind staff here as well.

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful historic city

What an amazing place! This hotel is located on a cliff overlooking the ravine that bisects the historic town. The views are spectacular and it is convenient to many good restaurants. The staff is excellent and very helpful. A very good breakfast is served in a cave restaurant/bar above the hotel. Matera is worth a long visit; there is so much to see and do. We loved staying here!

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here! Antonella was super friendly and helpful both leading up to our stay and helping us plan our arrival and the options for parking (which are complex). She explained some history of the hotel and gave us a detailed map to tour the city. It was like having our own pre tour guide! The room was very clean, beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and welcome air conditioning during a heat wave. A great location within the Sassi to walk around the historical centre.

Perfect Palazzo Degli Abati

Perfect stay in a small but wonderful hotel. Lovely Antonella ensured everything was just right. Located in great spot in the Sassi. Loved everything about it. They also have someone to come and valet park your car. This is incredibly important and will not realize this until you are there. The Sassi is a ZTL area where cars are not allowed .would return in a second!!!

6/10 Okay

The hotel is well situated, within the walking distance to the main Matera attractions. The room is spacious but need some better cleanup (a lot of marks on the covers of the sofa and bed; the floor has not been vacuumed; ants in the bedroom and bathroom). The breakfast with a multiple selection of cakes, some yoghurts and limited cheese/ham/fruit option. The bar outside space is available to hotel guests and people coming from outside. Often the tables outside were taken or booked so count enjoy it.

Unique cave room

Unique cave room that was well appointed. Though the bathroom was not physically in the bedroom it only had a frosted swinging glass door so not soundproof from bedroom. Sink for bathroom was in the bedroom that was ok with me but my husband did not like this layout.

Très bel hôtel, emplacement, idéal, et vous pouvez dormir dans une grotte Mais c’est très compliqué pas, c’est notifié quand vous avez des valises c’est vraiment pas simple car il y a plein de marches d’escalier de plus douche qui vous projette directement dessus. Donc vous inonder complètement la salle de bain et ils ont fait un système de détecteur quand vous allez dans la salle de bain ou si vous allez aux toilettes la nuit vous réveillez tout le monde et vous ne pouvez pas faire autrement. Le Bar le soir service pas très convivial mais vu exceptionnel et petit déjeuner pareil vue exceptionnel mais petit déjeuner à revoir il manque proposition d’eau, plat ou autre et jus de fruit très artificiels Mais dans l’ensemble, bel endroit très bien rénové qu’on recommande quand même

Estadia incrível tipo caverna mesmo, bem legal. Só o banheiro que precisa de um pouco de privacidade e o chuveiro que deixa a desejar pelo dormi, molha bem o banheiro. Precisa ser feito algumas adequações poucas. O café é excepcional. Atendimento maravilhoso e vista sensacional.

Besser geht kaum

An diesem Hotel gibt es nichts auszusetzen: die Suite mit integrierter Grabungstätte, die Ausstattung, der Blick von der Terrasse auf Sassi, der Service ... Das alles hat seinen Preis, aber dieser ist es wert.

Situated in the old town of Matera, and unique to stay in a "cave room". The property has been renovated very tastefully and the highlight is the property patio and bistro (Crialoss) is perfectly located overlooking the old town. The menu of the bistro is excellent and so are the drinks! The owners, Vita, Antonella, and Giuseppe are very attentive and take the opportunity to ensure all guests are enjoying their stay. Antonella and her staff assisted with reservations to recommended restaurants and all were very enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to stay at this property!

Incredible View and Experience

Absolutely incredible experience - my receptionist called ahead to make sure I was not lost before check-in ended in the evening, offered complimentary water upon my arrival and helped fill out a map of areas to tour and visit. Room was incredibly unique, extremely comfortable and featured an incredible view! Definitely intend on returning in the future.

Exceeded Expectations.

This was a very nice stay with wonderful views of the Sassi. The breakfast was great (continental) with the breads and bakery goods made that morning. The owner (current and former resident of the Sassi) and the staff did everything to make the stay exceptional. While parking was off site (10 min drive from hotel) it was very well organized - shuttle was there for you when you got to the parking - parking was indoors and the shuttle was there for you when you were ready to return to you vehicle. Door to door - no stops to pick up others on the way.
