Il Palazzotto I Residence & Winery

Nice large room (#8) with 3 balconies (not a cave room). There is a lack of privacy but there is a sheer curtain you can cover doors with. People walking come up to the doors and look in so the sheers are needed. There are good black-out curtains for night time.

Very nice large luxury towels are provided. Beds are comfy and the room is clean.

Cave rooms are large and authentic. Although, there are no windows and are moist inside and clothes and bedding feels a bit wet.

Hotel is in great location and the drop off is only 10 stairs and a 2 minute walk away from reception. Everything else in Matera is uphill both ways.

Reception is very welcoming and helpful with information. A nice glass of their wine is provided at check in. The pre-arrival information and response is also great.

Breakfast is continental with a bit of cooked eggs & bacon (served luke warm) and a nice selection of cereals, meat & cheeses, and pasties. Great coffee (americanos, cappuccinos, etc provided).

The tv has a few English channels and access to your Netflix, etc accounts.

For those with cave rooms and for the restaurant there is a nice terrace area outside. There are no sun umbrellas so a hat and glasses may be needed

A distinctive hotel seamlessly built into the rock with a design that feels natural. The rooms are beautifully curated and the entire experience has a special charm that makes it stand out.

The only points that did not fully live up to expectations were the breakfast and the bathroom amenities. The breakfast was rather tasteless and simple compared to the overall standard of the hotel and the toiletries in general did not reflect the level and character of the property. A more elevated offering in both areas would truly complete the experience.

Zimmer 9 mit Balkon war lichtdurchflutet.

Hermoso! Toda una experiencia dormir en este lugar. Personal muy amable, nos recibieron con vino de su producción. Desayuno muy bueno. Se ofrecieron a guardar nuestro equipaje luego del check in.

Marvillosa experiencia en Matera! Las instalaciones totalmente renovadas y modernas, se encuentran en el corazón de matera. Las habitaciones están dentro de cuevas y la sensación es única. El servicio es muy amable, y está todo impecable.

Struttura bellissima, personale gentile e disponibile. La colazione era abbondante e i dolci tutti davvero buoni. La camera era molto bella e ben arredata. La posizione eccellente.

Great location
Charmant and unique accommodations in caves

Il Palazzoto is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the Sassi. Despite worrying about all the steps in the Sassi with luggage, the taxi dropped me essentially in front of the hotel – gentle steps up to reception. My room wasn’t actually a cave room it was in a separate section of the hotel, but it was beautifully appointed, spacious, and warm! (It was freezing that week!). The breakfast room was in a cave, and it was a lovely buffet spread complete with cappuccino. The reception staff were very helpful, and overall, I wish I had stayed longer than 2 nights. Matera is fascinating!!

Location was perfect in quiet section of historic district. Short walk to cathedral above, restaurants, shops, hiking trail. Cave room exceeded our expectations, architecture, furnishings modern and lovely, enjoyed the large shower, ambiance and breakfast buffet spread impressive. Loved eating in the cave.

What an exquisite and memorable property! The breakfast in the breakfast cave alone is worth the stay. The rooms are indescribably beautiful and unusual. Don’t miss the chance to book here

Fabulous location. We had a car, and it was super easy to park in town at the place recommended by the staff, where we got a shuttle van right to the hotel in old Matera. Room was beautiful “cave” with extraordinary lighting and amenities. Staff was warm and extremely helpful.

המקום מדהים מבחינת נראות ! לגמרי חוויה מושלמת בתוך מערה. חדרים ברמה ממש גבוהה וצוות אדיב. החדרים גדולים ועם מיטה גדולה ונוחה מאוד. חימום בחדר שעובד מעולה. נקיון ברמה שלא פגשנו עדיין ! ממליצים לטעום את היינות שלהם. הארוחת בוקר הייתה טעימה מאוד ומגוונת. מרגיש מאוד אישי ומוקפד. הצוות היה אדיב ועוזר בכל דבר שהיינו צריכים. המסעדה של המלון ממש שווה ביקור. אוכל מעולה ! מיקום מדהים וממש מרכזי בתוך העיר העתיקה. במרחק הליכה לכל רחוב מרכזי או אטרקציה.

Location, cleanliness and hospitality

Matera is a fairytale UNESCO dream come to life. After an easy hour’s drive from Bari, we found ourselves in a city carved into the "Sassi" rock formations, and staying at Il Palazzotto was the highlight of our trip.

This is an architectural marvel. Sleeping here feels like being inside a piece of art. Our room was a masterclass in design: think lights and taps emerging directly from the ancient stone in a way that feels both frugal and incredibly sophisticated.

What truly sets this place apart is the D’Angelo family and their staff. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a welcome glass of wine, we felt less like guests and more like pampered family members. A special shout-out to Antonio and his staff, who was incredibly helpful with local tips and organizing our luggage shuttle.

The common living area where breakfast is served is breathtaking; it’s a stunning carved space where you can enjoy local delicacies served with genuine care. For dinner, don't miss their sister spot, Radino Wine Bar. The tasting menu was delicious and they were wonderful about catering to gluten-free needs.

If you want a soul-stirring, artistic experience rather than a standardized hotel stay, this is it. We’re already counting the days until we can return.

Camera molto bella, confortevole, curata nei dettagli, con una atmosfera calda che, abbinata ad affaccio suggestivo dal balcone, ha reso il soggiorno speciale. Staff molto accogliente e gentile, apprezzata la degustazione di vino all'arrivo. Posizione ottimale.

Excellent and extremely friendly service. We felt very taken care of. The room was absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. Everything was perfect

Everything is studied into details to make your experience unforgettable!
The location is perfect within few minutes form main attractions. Very friendly staff at the reception.
