Perfectly located with stunning views
Pros:

Perfect location if you are driving. You can park out of the ZLT and walk 5-10min to the hotel without having to go up and down the hill. The views from my room were unreal and the receptionist Vivian was super nice with her recommendations

Pros:

For a memorable night or weekend, this is an exceptional place to stay. Close to the town centre and with breathtaking views over Matera, it's well worth a visit.
The room was clean, spacious and very stylish. We only suffered from the air conditioning which didn't seem to work and cool the whole room, while it was extremely hot during our stay.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The person pointed out places to see and walk around Matera with very valuable local insights and for which we are grateful.

Pros:

If you’re looking to stay in the heart of the Historic Center, this is your place. Be prepared to walk over rocky roads and go up and down the road stairs, which is not bad if you want to exercise a little bit while vacationing. Room was a little too small for my taste but very clean and comfortable. View from my room window was incredible! Hotel doesn’t offer parking (paid or free). You need to find a paid parking spot on the nearby streets (around $10 Euros for 10 hours). Breakfast was good.

Pros:

You couldn't ask for a better view from the hotel. Staying in a cave was pretty unique but the humidity led to a mildew smell and the sheets felt wet. The staff were not friendly but did their job’s perfunctory. More information about where to park would be very helpful as there is none nearby since the hotel is in a restricted driving area.

Interesting experience
Pros:

Interesting to stay in one of the "cave" rooms. It's a bit of a trek to reach on foot (only option) but worth it. Our room was cramped because if the configuration but had good view from two small windows and external terrace. Hearty breakfast. Helpful staff. Not great value for money. You pay for the experience.

Pros:

This place is awesome. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the city that was incredible. Yes, the room is small but considering your in a building that is hundreds and hundreds of years old, maybe thousand of years, who cares! You have a window overlooking the 3rd oldest city in the world! Yes, it is about a15 minute walk from the parking garage to the hotel but you have to walk everywhere in Matera anyway, and once you make a turn close to the hotel and see the city for the first time , it will be all worth it. Suggest packing a couple of backpacks with everything need like we did. Would advise against trying to wheel large suitcases over the uneven pavement and stairs.

Formidable
Pros:

Hôtel très agréable avec une vue magnifique sur Sasso.
Pas facile d'y arriver surtout avec une grosse valise, mais c'est le prix à payer pour profiter de cette très belle situation, surtout la nuit!
Le personnel est d'une extrême gentillesse.

Lovely setting would definitely recommend. You need to be able to walk as property not accessible via car. Our room needed refreshing with a lick of paint but otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

Un week end tra i sassi
Pros:

Arrivare all'ingresso della reception e trovarsi davanti il Sasso Barisano che fa di Matera uno dei patrimoni dell'umanità basterebbe solamente questo per rendere questo soggiorno indimenticabile. Ma se poi alloggi in un albergo diffuso con la camera ricavata dal restauro degli antichi sassi rende questa esperienza indimenticabile.

Ottima e panoramica posizione
Pros:

Hotel nel centro del sasso Barisano. Con camera spaziosa in grotta tipica. Ci hanno comsentito di parcheggiare la moto in un cortiletto in prossimità della camera. Colazione servita molto abbondante e buona. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Pros:

Bellissimo hotel ricavato nel cuore dei Sassi. Personale gentilissimo è capace. Un po’ scomodo da raggiungere se si hanno problemi a camminare. Alcune camere dentro le grotte dei Sassi ma con tutti i comfort del grande albergo.

おすすめします!
Pros:

ロケーションもホテルもとても良かったです!男性スタッフは皆親切でした。受付の女性スタッフは、数分前に伝えたことを忘れているので、しっかり確認した方がいいと思います。注意点としては、ホテルまで多くの階段を上り下りしなくてはならないので、大きなスーツケースはお勧めしません。どうしても荷物が多い場合は、スタッフの方に運んでもらう交渉をしたほうがいいと思います。
