At the end of the day, it's still a cave, so even with a dehumidifier and air conditioning, you will notice the moisture in the air on a hot afternoon, so I found it difficult to stay indoors for more than an hour or two in the day. It's fine at night though. Mini fridge could have been colder, and the freezer compartment drips a little, even when empty.

Breakfast was beautifully arranged, with an assortment of local fresh fruits, cheeses (pecorina, ricotta, mozzarella and burrata), a plate of cold cuts, pastries, and freshly made bruschetta. Location was great. Hosts were welcoming and even offered to give us a packed breakfast on the last day as we were leaving early. Room was spacious (the one with the bath tub is much bigger than the one with the shower/ cistern, and if I were to recommend a cave room, it would be this one), water temperature and pressure was good, and the aircon kept the room comfortable. Wifi was excellent. Housekeeping comes daily. Also liked looking at the holes in the cave walls.

Fantastic location in the Sassi. The room was set in an authentic cave and was decorated to an extremely high standard. The hosts are a lovely, friendly couple who really looked after us. And the breakfast was just AMAZING!!!

There was nothing not to like!

The accommodation is in a very central location in the old city, close to restaurants and all the sites. It was easy to find with the instructions provided. We parked our car in the parking facility suggested and it was straightforward to take the shuttle bus in to the city. The room itself was outstanding! It was very clean, the bed/pillows were comfortable and it was unique staying in a cave! The room was perfect! Breakfast was outstanding and plentiful, with fruit, pastries, cheese, bread and local delicacies!

Nothing- it was perfection.

This property was magical and the hosts could not have been more kind. What a unique and special experience to stay in an actual cave dating so far back in time. The furnishings were modern and minimal- a perfect complement to the natural cave surrounding so you could enjoy comfort while still experiencing the simplicity of the natural environment. The Sassi took my breath with its beauty, so I definitely recommend staying in that part of Matera. The hosts went above and beyond in many ways- communication was clear, they offered to store our bags after checkout, and the breakfast was astounding in taste and quantity. Fruits, bruschetta, breads, cheeses, meats, pastries, and more. And all served so generously and lovingly. I only wish we had stayed more days. I hope to go back.

I cannot say enough good things about this stay and the amazing hosts. The hosts are incredible people and phenomenal hosts. The breakfast was so delicious and never ending. We truly felt like royalty staying here. We would love to come back to Matera just to stay here again.

There is nothing bad to say about this magical place. Even if you really try.... you can't find fault with this charming hotel

This is without a doubt the most special hotel we stayed in throughout our entire trip to southern Italy. A cave decorated with all the possible indulgence in accessories and equipment. The interior design is amazing, the accessories are modern and well maintained. The breakfast is homemade and especially rich, it was really hard for us to stop the landlady from adding more products to the meal that was especially huge. And finally .... the landlady is so friendly and hospitable, we felt like she was a relative waiting to host us.

Enzo and his wife were charming. They gave us a lovely welcome, and Enzo explained about the sites in Matera. We were lucky enough to be upgraded, and the room was wow! The breakfast was the best we've had in Puglia and probably anywhere. The quality of the copious amounts of food was excellent. Matera is amazing and the bnb well placed for visiting the sites. Thank you both

Unique experience. This is one of the best authentic accommodations you’ll ever have the pleasure of enjoying. Sleeping in a cave is fantastic and the room is super clean. The breakfast is worth the stay alone. The breakfast was incredible with a variety of food that is absolutely delicious.

Nothing! we could not ask for more.

The breakfast was great! There was fresh fruits, scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, fresh juice, a lot! The host offered to drive us to the car park (because you are not allowed to bring vehicles inside the Sassi) at 730 am because the first bus leaves the Sassi for the parking lot at 745am. The B&B was very close to the main road where the last stop of the bus is and it took as just 2 minutes to walk to the property. The ambiance was OMG because it was a real cave dwelling! The interior was tastefully decorated. All amenities were complete and exceeding expectation. It felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. The room was made up everyday, with fresh towels provided everytime they make up the room. The hosts were super attentive and caring and were there when you needed them.

Unique room that is definitely a cave, but warm and comfortable. Great breakfast. Lovely hosts.

It was a little hard to find the first time. But after finding it, it was super easy (just behind Corte San Pietro, on the main street to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso).

Breakfast - the best we had on the whole trip. Home-made panna cotta, stracciatella bruschetta, fresh fruit. Room - it's a cave. Really gorgeous design and warm (we went in winter). We slept so well after a nice soak in the huge tub that we almost missed breakfast. Location - perfect. Right off the main piazza. Loads of shops nearby, but still a little recessed so as to not be noisy. Hosts - Mima and Enzo were so warm and kind. We arrived early, so we took a 10:30am group tour after quickly dropping our bags off. It's easy to get lost when in the Sasso Caveoso area for the first time and I was grateful for Mima escorting us to the tour meeting point. If we ever go back to Matera, we're DEFINITELY staying here again. Big luxury hotels don't have their level of personal touch.

Nothing - it was amazing.

Location, beautiful owners, large and delicious breakfast, very unique cave accommodation, close to everything in the Sassi. Easy to get to from the shuttle bus in the square ( just a minute or two up the road from the piazza). Enzo is also an excellent guide and we loved learning about the history of the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Enzo and his wife Mima are wonderful hosts. Enzo was so helpful with recommendations for dining, transportation and providing some history of Matera. He also assisted us in arranging taxi service on our departure. The breakfast was prepared by Mima and was absolutely delicious! Our cave room was exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Incredible place to stay at, wow wow wow!!! Great location to walk around Matera. The staff was incredibly nice, super attentive to our every need. They helped us set up a guided tour of matera as soon as we arrived. The room was spectacular, super comfy bed and pillows, spacious and beautifully decorated. The experience of staying in a sasso is one you should have, simply unique. This is a very special place. The breakfast is included and it is just amazing!!! best breakfast we had in our entire trip to Italy. The only thing that I found a bit difficult after a day was the smell of humidity, the sassos are naturally very humid. But still, would do it all over again.

Amazing location, right in the heart of matera. Following the hosts recommendation we took the shuttle from the parking garage to the piazza. From there, we did not have to carry our luggage very far at all! The breakfast was crazy in size, variety and flavor. So much delicious local foods!

Stayed in October 2024

The humidity of the Cave was a bit uncomfortable, but not much can be done about that as it is a cave. There was a dehumidifier that ran constantly.

Enzo and Family were wonderful hosts! Breakfast was exceptional. The room was very quiet.
