The most amazing cave I have ever stayed in!
Pros:

What an incredible place to stay. I was surprised that access to my room was via a door outside of the main building but what a surprise on entering - a really cosy cave with all mod cons in an excellent location on the Sassi. I stayed in the Junior Suite with its amazing shower for 2! We visited in winter so it was like having Matera to ourselves. Some places were closed but there were enough bars and restaurants open to keep us satisfied and much preferable to summer crowds.

Cons:

Breakfast could perhaps have been a little better but there was plenty of choice.

Excelente alojamiento en medio de las Sassi de Matera
Pros:

La habitación en plena ciudad vieja en los sassi nos encantó! Muy bien y modernamente decorada dentro de un histórico edificio. Super cómoda. La señora en la Recepción súper amable nos hizo excelentes recomendaciones sobre el recorrido y restaurante

Cons:

El estacionamiento está bastante lejos con subidas y bajadas, así que no se puede llevar equipaje pesado
