The host helped us change the room as the first one was smaller than our needs. It was clean and close to the tourist attractions. Breakfast was very good!

Giuseppe's tips and warm welcome to Matera made all the difference. We also adored the breakfast experience with our little table under a tree in the patio and our autonomy to make things. It's a gorgeous room.

You MUST get a taxi to get to the hotel. Walking in an out of the historic centre with luggage is not a joke!

Beautiful and charming! Ideal for a romantic staying. Authentic cave house, in a very centric location, close to restaurants and other facilities. The owner was very friendly and gave excellent recommendations and guidance. He went the extra mile to make our staying more comfortable, including keeping our luggage after check out and sorting a taxi for us. We got the room with spa and a private breakfast area. Totally recommended for a romantic getaway ❤️

I wasn’t so keen on the self serve breakfast but it appears to be the norm in southern Italy

Lovely cool property, amazing terrace area, gorgeous high stoned ceilings, amazing bathroom and shower area. The beauty of this place was astounding as well as a very kind, helpful host.

Giuseppe was fantastic - so helpful - on WhatsApp before we arrived and then organising tours/restaurants and the taxi back to the airport. The rooms were right in the centre of the Sassi and easy to reach everything.

Literally everything! Lovely attention to detail and it really felt like a home from home. Amazing breakfast and I am going to so miss my breakfast on our own private terrace … When you plan a trip and read reviews sometimes you wonder if people are exaggerating … in this case they aren’t … it’s perfect 💛

There was nothing we didn’t like!

The property was situated right in the heart of Matera- being able to walk around then return for an hour to recharge was great! The room was nice and cool with lots of products for us to make our own breakfast at a time which suited us. Giuseppe was a fantastic host and really took the time to talk us through the map of Matera and point out some nice places to eat which we tried out! It was also nice to be able to make use of the terrace in the morning and evening as well as store our luggage at the property on the day of departure. Matera is such a beautiful city and we had a fantastic stay.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Dimore dei Mercanti. The room was exceptional – beautifully designed, comfortable, and full of character. One of the highlights was enjoying a delicious breakfast in the charming courtyard. Giuseppe was an outstanding host. He was warm, welcoming, and provided us with incredibly helpful tips and information about Matera that made our visit even more special.

Everything about our stay was amazing — the room was beautiful and comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely outstanding. What truly set our experience apart, however, was Giuseppe. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect visit. From personalized recommendations to clear parking instructions, he was incredibly helpful and always available — even 24/7 via phone for any questions we had. His warm hospitality made all the difference. Highly recommended!

The room was stunning! Perfectly located right in the Sassi. I realised my dream of staying in a cave! Guiseppe, the host, was brilliant. Great communication and gave us a real insight into Matera and the transformation of the Sassi.
