Sono stata benissimo , in una atmosfera accogliente ma discreta . Molte attenzioni alla colazione sia per quanto riguard
Pros:

Lo stile : allo stesso tempo modernissimo ma anche di gran classe ! La ristrutturazione , fatta nel rispetto dei materiali originari del posto , ha valorizzato al massimo la storia dei luoghi e il loro vissuto , pur proiettandolo in una dimensione estremamente moderna e soprattutto funzionale ed accogliente . Bravissimi !!

Cons:

Assolutamente nulla . Tutto al top .

The cave room
Pros:

It was very traditional and luxury room. The area was amazing. Also the breakfast was really good.

Cons:

The check out was at 10:30am, a little bit early. Apart from that at 10:00 o’clock, I suppose cause to the check out, we didn’t have electricity and WiFi from 10:00!!!

Matera é incrível! Mas não indicaria esse hotel!
Pros:

Cafe maravilhoso… faltou mais opções de frutas

Cons:

A equipe do check in foi impecável (sr David), porém as 3 funcionárias do café da manhã foram deselegantes conosco! Toda vez que pegávamos algum item do café da manhã elas olhavam de cara feia. Meu marido nem pode sentar onde queria, sem falar que ao trocar de assento, a funcionária mais forte reclamou de novo e fez questão de trocar o copo que eu tinha tocado! Cochichavam com a mão na boca olhando pra gente, como se tivessem zombando… foi o café da manhã mais desagradável de todos os tempos! Nunca imaginei passar por uma situação dessa!
