We loved everything

Staying at Aque Cave was magical. We stayed in the junior suite which was very spacious and well optioned with amenities. The location was amazing in the heart of the Sassi close to all the sights and restaurants. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. Most of all the team were fantastic. The communication with Paola was always efficient and friendly and Francesco who was on site was super helpful and always willing to assist. Rosie and Valerie greeted us each morning with a lovely smile and a cuppa 😁.

I honestly have no complaints. There’s nothing they could do better.

Stunning hotel room in a very central part of Matera. All the best restaurants and attractions are only a few minutes walk. Everything about the room was luxurious including a very good sound system. The rooms are naturally cooler but the internal air con was an added bonus.

Hauling luggage up the steps wasn't the funnest thing to do but it was manageable and worth it. Plus, you're in Matera so steps are to be expected.

This property was amazing, even better than the pictures portrayed! The place was spacious, clean, and just incredible. The owners have put a lot of attention to detail from the decor to the utility of everything inside. The shower was nice, wifi worked well, there's a cute patio outside, good natural light, and good AC. Breakfast next door was very nice and included fruit, pastries, sliced meats, juices, coffee, bread, and jams. The location was very nice as well. While tucked away in the corner of the old town, it has restaurants just down the steps and a plaza with a beautiful view just a few mins away. Last, the owners were very helpful in providing recommendations in town and around the Puglia region.

Nothing at all.

The design and decor was stylish , atmospheric, comfortable and really practical. The shower was huge and the toiletries supplied were comprehensive and good quality. The breakfast was excellent and you could either have it at a table outside or in the dining room which was in a cave room. Both the owners Paola and Francesco were very happy to help with places to see and where to eat. They even followed up after our stay with tips on things to do on the remainder of the trip. The location was excellent with most sights within 10-15 minutes distance. Matera is tricky to drive in and park but Paola suggested a secure car park out of town with a shuttle service which made for a stress free trip.

Paula, Veronica and Frederico will take good care of you. The room was lovely, cool and comfortable in the best part of this wonderful town. Four first rate restaurants within 20 m of the door. You will be sad to leave

Unique accommodation in a cave but luxuriously fitted out for the 21st century, close to the centre of the amazing Matera. Great breakfast in lovely restaurant area and amazing staff. Probably one of the best places we’ve stayed.

we loved really everything ..

this is a first class acco, we loved our stay from the beginning to the end.. Paola and Francesco make the real difference- so helpful, location is perfect, the room was much nicer in reality than on the pictures. lovely terrace and wonderful breakfast. The weee many candles in the room, the room was warm - i was a bit worried as the outside temperature was low, beautiful hot tube, nice towels, comfortable beds.. everything was soo perfect with such a nice details.. we are use to stay in nice hotels, so in general we have high expectation, that are not always met, but in case, our expectation were exceeded. Also the price was nice and as we made a mistake in kids age when booking the rooms, they very flexibly solved it… thank you and hope to come back one time.

We had one of the best experiences staying in Aque cave. First of all, the owner Francesco is very well organized - before our arrival we received a (highly appreciated) message with all the important information - very kind and always available! The structure is located in the sassi of Matera and the room was even better than the pictures, warm and sparkling clean. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was just beautiful. Francesco makes sure that you are provided with everything needed to make your staying unforgettable. The breakfast included a lot of local delicacies, both sweet and savory. It's definitely a place to include in your bucket list!
