Our accommodation was in the heart of Matera with a large, private terrace offering spectacular views of this unique town, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property was beautifully renovated, in-keeping with its historic past, and immaculately clean. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay there longer! Our host Giacomo was very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be staying there again.

Giacomo was such a lovely and friendly host. Pietragialla far exceeded our expectations. The view from our terrace was beyond incredible, the room was comfortable and kept cool, and we enjoyed the little breakfast spread available. It was very conveniently located, a quick walk from parking outside of the ZTL but very close to everything we wanted to see in the historic center. We only wish we were able to spend more time in Matera!

I've been Matera on June, and room with terrace was perfect. Though location was hard to reach myself, staff came to bus station for pick-up and it was really thankful. (Drop-off service also) A/C was working well too.

Perfectly positioned with an excellent host! Would certainly recommend to friends

The prepacked Breakfast was very sweet (Nutella, jams, fette biscottate with teas and no coffee) which is already in the room. Fresh croissants delivered to the rooms in the morning or some sort of breakfast area is best. Seating area for the belvedere rooms can be improved to add in some couches.

We booked the entire rooms of Pietragialla and we loved the location and the accommodation. It’s a magical place. We highly recommend it. It’s peaceful and clean with unbelievable views (belvedere room). We would stay again.

The only shame was that we only booked for one night. Next time we'll have to stay longer so that we can make the most of the amazing facilities!

This was the most amazing place to stay to experience the Sassi in the best way. The shower cut from the rock was just unbelievable! We had the best of both worlds as the other room had a beautiful terrace with a view of the cathedral so we all went to eat breakfast there. We had everything we could want and Giacomo was the most attentive host and so friendly. Amazing experience for how much we paid. We can't wait to come back!

everything was perfect

My wife and I have traveled to many countries and Matera is the most interesting city we have visited. It has an amazing history dating back thousands of years. Our cave room was very nice with a very large terrace with great views of old Matera - there are many nice restaurants very near the hotel - we were able to walk to all of the major sites - we would like to thank Giacomo for his hospitality - he is great host and even provided transportation to and from the bus station!

The breakfast was just prepackaged crackers, jam and a few muffins. But that wasn’t a big deal because you want to eat somewhere outside and try one of the many different and delicious pastries.

Spacious, clean, comfortable and unique.Very nice atmosphere in a great location. The staff was very friendly and made us coffee and was very helpful.

Breakfast was not what I expected when it mentioned free breakfast, very basic stuff from grocery shelf.

Great central location, large renovated room, unique shower.

our overall experience in Pietragialla was superb! the host, Giacomo, was amazing. He’s very friendly and very thoughtful of the services he provide. He picked us up and dropped off at the bus station. Our room (Belvedere) has the best view of Sassi (Old Matera) from its huge private balcony. Simple breakfast and few bottles of assorted non-alcoholic drinks were included (replenished daily). the room was pristine, and comfortable. housekeeping is daily. the location is perfect for walking and sightseeing. We highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, clean and comfortable accommodation and extremely friendly and helpful host. Loved the small seating area where we could enjoy a cuppa in the shade. Definitely an amazing experience

One of the most unique stays we've had, and we travel a lot. I would go back to Matera just to stay here! This is quite a magical place- you are literally staying in a cave and the bathroom was like an ancient Roman bath- AMAZING. And Giacomo was the perfect host. Couldn't ask for more. Perfect location close to everything and within walking distance to the main piazza and trails.

The property is in the Sassi of Matera and it is a dream! We choose the cisterna apartment. The room has everything you need. The shower is simply amazing. Giacomo is an amazing host.

Everything was perfect. Giacomo could not have been more helpful and kind. The room was excellent, and there is a lovely shared patio area under a jasmine canopy to relax in. The location is very good, just off a main road and easily accessible, but right in the sassi, and quiet at night.
