A great boutique hotel with the greatest views of the city and surrounding countryside. Staff is fantastic and the hotel is easy walking distance to all attractions and restaurants.
Rooms are all nice but I recommend staying in one of the rooms located in ‘the Cave’. A most memorable experience that I will not forget!
Breakfast was very good and having drinks served out on the patio was fantastic.
You will not regret booking Il Belvedere!

The view from the hotel is wonderful. Our room was large and well equipped, with a comfortable bed and good air conditioning. An excellent, varied breakfast served on the balcony or in a cave room. The staff were very helpful and full of information.

Fantastic Staff
When you show up soaking wet before checkin time, and you’re offered a coffee while they try to arrange early checkin, the hotel gets top marks before you see your room. But cave room 44 was warm and comfy. Great breakfast that you can take out on the balcony to enjoy the views. And drinks available to enjoy the sunset. Plenty info and maps. You can walk everywhere, but it is a lot of ups and downs on cobblestones. Because of the rain we opted to use the expensive parking just before the hotel. Works great if you plan to just park your car, as there are no in/out privileges, but it maxes out at 10E per calendar day.

Excellent location.
This is the best location to see Matera. You are close to the sights and and lots of restaurants to go to. The staff is very good and accommodating, plus the parking is a block away. The breakfast is plentiful and the view from the terrace amazing!!!

Awesome place. Wished we had stayed here a week. The view of matera and the gorge is spectacular and unrivalled. Sipping wine on the terrace at sunset was pure magic. Room was perfect. Breakfast was great. Staff are amazing. No free parking but reasonable. Probably my favourite B&B we stayed at out of 9 of them all over Italy. Great restaurants not far from hotel.

Aside from the great staff, the comfort of the rooms and the aperitivo and prima collazione, the terrace provides an incredible view of Matera.
