Loved the location in Matera
Overall we were happy with our room. The location was great. The pool & spa was brillant and well worth the money. The only issue would be that the bathroom was looking a bit tired. The toilet seat was broken and the silicone needs replacing around the bath.

Sassi Delight.
Incredible sandstone cave bedroom . Spacious and atmospheric. Cool and quiet. Jacuzzi tub.
Delicious breakfast with many local products. Excellent coffee.
Staff were bright and cheerful. Big shout out to Val who went above and beyond in tying my dates together.
The spa is a real treat at the end of a day discovering the many levels of Matera. The staff there too are excellent. Thank you Jenny for the wonderful massage!
This place is uniquely positioned on the quiet side of the Sassi. Almost all of the rooms have a balcony or terrace with dramatic views. It’s ancient history and you’re cocooned within it. Unique.

The cave atmosphere was as advertised.
The only issue was the air conditioning could not be use because of city regulations.

Quaint little hotel within the beautiful town of Matera with original features. A perfect little, ancient Italian town and we fell in love with the cobble streets, winding paths and amazing views. Bring trainers and wear comfy clothing as you will do a lot of walking to take in all the sites

Such a beautiful hotel, right in the heart of Matera. I loved our room, and the breakfast was great. I wish we’d had the time to try the spa, but even without it, everything was amazing!
