Matera is a remarkable place and our room located us right in the heart of it.
Pros:

The location was extraordinary, a cave high on the hillside yet in the heart of the town. We had to walk to get there but the hotel staff made that easy.

Magical, wonderful !
Pros:

The Hotel is located in the middle of the Sassi district in Matera. Our room was an actual cave that was once inhabited over the past 9000yrs.The breakfast was in the room with well stocked items every day. Luigi and Bennie were great.The whole area just had an incredible energy.If you read about the Sassi district it has an incredible history and story to it. High recommend if you are looking for something different. The whole Basilicata region is beautiful at times breathtaking. If you are in a cave room you will have to work little to get your luggage to the room.Well worth it.

Cons:

Nothing

warto zobaczyć to miasto jak i okoliczne atrakcje
Pros:

Lokalizacja pozwalająca na dostęp do wielu części miasta

Cons:

W rzeczywistości hotel stanowią niezależne apartamenty. Prezentowany budynek to jedynie recepcja. Na pytanie o możliwość przygotowania posiłku w apartamencie otrzymałem odpowiedź, że oczywiści można jednak za dodatkową opłatą po uiszczeniu której otrzymam garnek. Za ten garnek do ugotowania makaronu miałem zapłacić dodatkowo bodajże 30 euro.
