Lugar mágico
Pros:

Ubicación excepcional, con las mejores vistas hacia la Catedral de Matera. El transfer desde el estacionamiento nos pudo dejar a 50 metros del hotel, un lujo! Las habitaciones son únicas, increíbles, excavadas en la montaña. El desayuno se puede tomar en el balcón del salón desayunador con unas vistas bellísimas.

Cons:

Demasiada calefacción, y no se podía regular ya que era centralizada. Fue un poco agobiante dormir con tanto calor.

Best hotel of our trip. Stunning in every way.
Pros:

During our recent extensive travels, we have stayed in some lovely accommodation, but we all agreed this hotel went straight to the top of the list. From the clear and helpful advance advice about parking (and the recommended shuttle to the hotel from the safe parking area), to the warm and Informative welcome from the wonderful Cristina, to the incredible rooms and mind blowing-view, this hotel could not be any better.
We occupied one cave ‘deluxe junior suite’ (with the most incredible bathroom), and a beautiful deluxe suite next to reception. They were both different and both exceptional, with extremely comfortable beds, great air conditioning, fantastic showers etc.
We loved hearing from Cristina about the history of the rooms and the hotel, and the history of Matera.
We enjoyed a drink on the Terrace before following Cristina’s recommendations for good dishes to eat in the Sassi for dinner. A comfortable sleep was followed by a truly delicious and varied breakfast.
I can’t speak highly enough of this hotel; our genuine regret was that we stayed only one night. Will definitely be back!

Cons:

Staying only one night. Matera deserves at least two nights.

Great place to stay in the Sassi!
Pros:

Amazing place to stay in Matera! Super great communication leading up to our trip. The hotel set us up with parking out of town with a ride directly to the hotel, which is in the Sassi. Our cave room was fantastic. Breakfast was great. The hotel made us dinner reservations both evenings at great restaurants. Super central location to walk anywhere in the Sassi and to do the hike across the bridge to the caves.

Pros:

Ubytování v hotelu Palazzo Degli Abati v Mateře hodnotíme velmi pozitivně. Byli jsme ubytováni v pokoji s balkonem, který je sice spíše menší a není určen k posezení, nicméně přímo před pokoji je k dispozici venkovní posezení s naprosto přenádherným výhledem na historickou část Matery, což tento drobný nedostatek plně vynahrazuje.

Pokoj i celé ubytování bylo velmi čisté a udržované. Personál na recepci byl po celou dobu pobytu velice vstřícný, ochotný a milý.

Velkou pochvalu si zaslouží snídaně – byly opravdu výborné. K dispozici byl sladký bufet, jogurty a čerstvé ovoce, zároveň bylo možné objednat si ze snídaňového lístku sladkou i slanou variantu. Vše bylo velmi chutné a obsluha byla příjemná a pozorná.

Pobyt jsme si moc užili a rádi se sem v budoucnu znovu vrátíme.

Cons:

nic.
