Pros:

Staff impecável - deram-nos um mapa de Matera e sugeriram-nos um percurso pedestre pela cidade de modo a passar pelos highlights da cidade de forma não demasiado extensa, percurso este que se verificou muito acessível e com vistas incríveis da cidade; localização ótima, numa zona bastante calma e perto de imensos restaurantes. Pequeno-almoço com ótima vista da cidade.

Cons:

Pequeno-almoço razoável.

Pros:

The perfect location for Matera. What a view of the city! The reception gave us a map and told us how to get to all the sites easily, which was a godsend as so easy to get lost. They were also very flexible with check in time too. Staff very easy to talk to, very focused on making your stay perfect.The room was amazing, great aircon, and so was the bistro/breakfast area. The staff there excellent too. I would recommend the shuttle service if your bringing your own car. So easy and stress free.

Unique cave stay with sweeping views of the Sassi
Pros:

The view itself is worth the money but we really enjoyed our room too. It's such an unique experienc!. The hotel staff was very proactive, friendly and helpful. They suggested a tour which was nicely paced, educational and fun. Having breakfast with the view was a highlight!

Cons:

The bathroom floor could be a little slippery but nothing a few towels on the floor couldn't solve.

We loved every moment
Pros:

Our stay at Palazzo degli Abati was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with this beautiful place. The location is spectacular, full of charm, and truly allows you to experience the magic and unique atmosphere of Matera.

Our room was beautiful, spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. The entire property has so much character, perfectly blending Matera’s historic architecture with elegance and modern comfort.

The staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed. They made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our entire stay.

This is one of those special hotels that becomes part of the travel experience itself, rather than simply a place to stay. A true 10/10 experience that we would highly recommend. If we return to Matera, we would absolutely stay at Palazzo degli Abati again. We loved every moment! 🤍✨

Nothing
