10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in one of the cave rooms for 2 nights. Loved this place.! Location is perfect! Everything is within walking distance. Also there is a rooftop patio where you can enjoy a glass of wine while admiring the sunset and Matera. Francisco makes this place extra special. His enthusiasm for Matera is infectious. When we checked in, he not only gave us a map of Matera but also gave us suggestions on where to eat and what to visit. My only advise is to check your email for directions ( which Francisco will email ) on how to get to the hotel. There is a bus that will take you from the parking lot to the front of the hotel.

Perfect location in Matera. Francesco was incredibly helpful (and his English was quite good) in where to visit and when, and places to eat, and just general info for getting around.

Good location in Matera (in Bassi, the old town)
service: really good support from staff. Helped me finding a nice spot to parking (giving me a ride). Parking: free , on the street, 10 min walk, but safe. Paid a little bit more far away (20 min walk, maybe). breakfast: excellent, in the restaurant OiMari room: a little bit small for 4 people, but since we were a family worked fine. bathroom: nice location: excellent, right in the middle of Bassi, the old town. Close buy restaurants and cafes Wifi: weak signal (room Aria) price: I bit expensive but the installations and locations are worth.

6/10 Good

Ok. Careful regarding parking.
This is NOT a hotel. This is more of a residence given away for renting purpose. There is no front desk(physically present). I reached there around 11pm and there was no one to answer my calls inspite of me calling around few hours earlier to let them know my arrival time. I got into my room after almost 40 mins of wait. Secondly parking is a nightmare since Sassi regulations wont allow you to park your car overnight. So you need to park on the streets above and walk downstairs (good luck if you have luggage!). I wish the hotel warned me about these things. The hotel link says free parking, but doesnt warn about these details. The condition of the room was ok. The only good point about this hotel was the location.

Great location
The staff was very accommodating, we arrived at 2pm and check in time said 4pm but we were able to check in early with no problem or any additional fees. My kids were amazed by our room, the "Aqcua room" it used to be a holding place for water back in the day. We were only there for a day and half but it was great. Breakfast was right across the street in the family owned restaurant. The hotel is located in the main street in Sassi, everything is at a walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable Stay in Matera
The hotel has a nice location, it is situated down in the middle of Sassi, within walking distance of everything. The room was a good size. The bathroom was clean and had modern fixtures. The Air Conditioner only seemed to blow warm air, the room gets quite warm without it. Breakfast was served across the street in the restaurant run by the same owners. It wasn't particularly exciting but it did the job. There was a small selection of pastries, juice, whole fruit and coffee.

Great place to stay! -in the heart of the city of sassi materra. 10 euro to cab there from the train station but only 15-20 min walk (a bit difficult to get to if you have luggage cause of the many steps) we walked there and decided to cab when we left -hotel staff we're very friendly and pleasant! -breakfast is included and is just across the street at a family resturant (very nice staff) -very clean room (has the shampoo, slippers etc) - strong wifi - good a/c - materra is pretty small town so staying anywhere is prob convient to get around Only cons- when booking the room through hotel.com the operator did not seem to know which room is included in the different bookings. We wanted a room that looked more cave like since that is what materra is known for. That was a bit disappointing. The one they told us from the picture on the website was incorrect but we're not picky so we didnt mind too much. There is no blankets in the room! It's only two thin sheets. And there is no concerige to contact so we dealt with sleeping with sheets. -check in is at the resturant across the street. We we're not made aware. If the other guests there did not let us know we would Have been waiting for a long time. Other then that had a good experience. I would recommend staying here.

Very nice BnB
This BnB is built in very old buildings. The room we stayed in was actually an old water cistern that had been converted into a room. It was very neat. It is right in the middle of the Sassi neighborhood, which is the oldest part of town, and also very cool. It is convenient for walking around and seeing all the historical parts of town.

Fantastiskt läge men behöver fräschas upp.
Positivt: Fantastiskt läge och trevligt rum, snyggt och modernt. Negativt: Vi hade bokat boende inkl. parkering och betalade extra för parkering i bokningen men fick betala både parkering och transfer separat (40€) till garage och transfer och inte till boendet. Det stod att frukost serverades i en separat Restaurant och frukost hade bra recensioner. Restaurangen för frukost låg tvärs över gatan och detta stod också i välkomstmailet men istället var frukosten mycket "torftig" och serverades på boendet vid receptionen. Det var stopp i handfatet och det rann vatten på golvet i badrummet. Vi fick aldrig tillfälle att säga detta till värden då han inte var där efter incheckningen.

Residence molto bello, nel cuore di Matera
Abbiamo preso due camere in questo residence. Stanze molto carine, letti comodi. Il residence si trova nel cuore di Matera, però nella parte bassa della città. Noi avevamo una conferenza alle Monacelle (vicino al Duomo) e andare su e giu per i gradini della città non era l'ideale. Comunque il residence è molto carino, la colazione molto buona e il personale davvero squisito. Ci tornerei.
