Impressive view and location
Pros:

The view from the bar/restaurant is worth the stay alone, like something from a movie. A great location only a few minutes walk into the nightlife of Matera. Reception/host were really helpful and provided lots of great info and recommendations. A perfect stay for one night.

Pros:

洞窟を美しく生まれ変わらせた部屋は素敵で、景観が素晴らしい。ホテルのBarからの眺めは最高です。朝食もとても良いです。今年はビュッフェではなくオーダーする形式でしたが、私たちはその方が良かったです。

Cons:

ホテル自体には何の問題もありません。観光客が多い時間帯は駐車場へ入るのが大変です。

Boutique hotel in the Sassi
Pros:

The property is well placed in the Sassi with beautiful views. The restaurant is good serving delicious food. The staff were overall friendly and helpful .

Cons:

The restaurant was closed when we arrived on a Thursday and it is not possible to have a drink or any food at the hotel on this day other than what is in the bedroom. The beautiful views attract many influencers who are desperate to take their perfect photograph while you are dining !
