I would have liked more storage drawers for clothing and some towels rails by the sink area to make it more practical

That I had to leave this place.

Very big room, with the cave behind where you can relax and drink wine. Very nice staff, explained me a lot about the town.

What a beautiful place to stay in such a beautiful city. Everything was perfect in our accommodation- loved the touch of slippers! Our room was spacious, exceptionally comfortable and beautiful! We were even able to check in early. We enjoyed a spa visit too which was definitely worth it!

Location was a bit challenging for us oldies to be honest, at the bottom of lots of steps so not easily accessible with luggage, but the staff/taxi driver kindly arranged a porter for us, who made light work of it!

We loved our cave lounge with its bean bag seats and private projection area where we could relax with a film and a glass of wine! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Bed was large and comfy, breakfast was varied, shower was very good.

Traditional feel but modern approach, cool and stylish in the heart of the old city.

Unique! Very comfortable. The Spa was enjoyable, the days were very hot and we appreciated a relaxing hour in the Spa. The Cave room was great and the breakfast was good also.

Slight smell of damp in the lounge but expected…you are in a cave!

Very spacious and comfortable, was amazing waking up in a cave every morning with all the little luxuries….outstanding

The one thing we didn't like - and not the hotel's fault - is that the Google Maps app on our phones tends to direct you, even when walking, down the road that leads to the lower part of the Sasso Caveoso (more or less opposite the big rock church) and then direct you up the pedestrian paths to where the hotel is. There is a much shorter direct route down from the upper part of town, which would have been nice to know when we were lugging suitcases!

Our room was enormous - No. 24, one of the "cave" suites - and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to help with advice on where to go, restaurant recommendations etc.

Nothing!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My friend and I stayed in the cave suite, which was such a unique experience. The room was perfectly built into the cave with a separate enclave as an atmospheric seating area. The hotel staff were friendly and really helpful in terms of advice on navigating our way around the sites. We even managed to fit in a spa session (sauna & jacuzzi) which was sheer bliss. We had the place to ourselves and spent a relaxing hour unwinding. The hotel’s central location also makes it a perfect base to explore Matera. Cannot thank Dominico and his colleagues enough for such a wonderful stay.

The location is difficult to find and you can only access it by foot with TONS of steps. You can pay 8euro per bag for bag service and they meet you at your car. You MUST do this! If we go back a second time, I would use a backpack for all my belongings. Pack light! It was all worth it!! One small thing I will mention is it would be helpful if the owners and staff spoke better English or I spoke some Italian. Written directions for the hot tub and room heater would be helpful as well.😊

We loved the unique location. The breakfast was spectacular and our spa room was beautiful. They provided local wine and snacks for purchase in the room, which was a very nice touch and all reasonably priced. It was magical!

Beautiful, calm, place, excellent staff and luxurious breakfast. I was surprised how quiet and safe it is in the middle of the tourist part of the city. I would love to come back.

I wouldn't change a thing. Just remember not to bring your luggage down the many steps to get to Antico Convicino. Bring the minimum, and enjoy this memorable place!

Absolutely beautiful, centrally located, place to stay with wonderful views form the very large balcony. The rooms carved into the limestone are exquisite and beautifully decorated and furnished. The staff was welcoming and the breakfast was delicious, offered in a beautiful setting inside the large limestone breakfast room. I love this place!

Unique kind of accommodation! The rate was above our normal practice, but we did it! We booked for one night and had a memorable experience. Once in a lifetime! Unless we ever return to Matera, in which case we will book the same room: #29! We parked the rental car at Rocco Scotellaro parking lot. Antico Convicino is at 270 meters from that parking lot. 7-8 minutes slow pace. We also followed the recommendations and only took from the car the necessary stuff. The projector with Matera related movies was such a special treat.

Very little storage space in the room for unpacking - the minimalist decor doesn't include a chest of drawers or shelves.

The suite with terrace is a lovely, spacious room which is beautifully finished. The terrace is fabulous - much larger than we expected and with a fabulous view over the Sassi to the caves on the hillside on the other side of the ravine. We were so pleased that we stayed here. The room was larger than we expected, and has a 'relaxation area' as well as the large shower room. Breakfast was also very good, and all the staff were delightful and very helpful. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is impossible to avoid steps to and from the hotel, so do not choose it if you cannot carry your suitcases up and down those steps. But it was worth it!
