Really good location at the historical part of Matera. Great room, very comfortable and with a cool cave-like design.

It can get a bit cold because it s a cave, if you re the type of person that gets cold easily might want to pack some thick pajamas

The room is an actual cave so it s a very interesting and unique experience. Also, it s very spacious

Would be good to have an electronic kettle and few cups and glasses. As we had wine so needed to buy glasses to enjoy it. Also while it is winter- warm coffee would have been nice to have but as kettle or coffee machine was not there- always needed to buy in restaurants. It is good that there plenty of it just near by.

The property is right in the center, itself is like a museum, so very unique and great experience. Hosts were very welcoming and even offered breakfast as it was a first day of New Year. Was really warm place and comfortable bed, hot water (as we had experience in other places that it was very limited) so was a very nice thing while outside is a bit cold.

It’s clean overall, but slight improvement could make it perfect. Perhaps the staff was brushing something off the low ceiling above the bed, there were a lot of white ashes like stuff on the top blanket. The blanket was red in color so the white ashes were pretty clear. We always remove the top blanket anyway as it seems like it’s for decorative purposes. Once removed the mattress and the thin white flat sheet beneath are very clean. I know this may be a bit extra, just a small suggestion - it’d great if there could be some sort of special welcome/ arrangements for special occasions! I informed them that it was my birthday that day. It’d be wonderful if there was a little souvenir or even just a note!

What a special, authentic cave experience! Super spacious and stylish design. My Flintstones dream came true!! Location is awesome too as it’s near the main road, convenient if you’re taking the bus. Even if you drive, it’s also one of the best locations for sure - because it’s mostly flat all the way from nearby parking, much easier when we were carrying suitcases. There were so many other accommodations with winding stairs in the area, would be a nightmare if we booked those. Very quiet once windows were closed too. Comfy mattress and we slept well!

We had a wonderful stay. This is a one of kind property that gives you the experience of living in a cave. It has all the necessary amenities and is so tastefully designed and furnished. The owner of the property was kind enough to pick us and drop us off back at the bus station which is quite far from the old town. This definitely goes up on our list of the best places we have stayed in so far.

The staff knew we were arriving by car and yet they failed to inform us we could not drive to drop off bags and not enter the old town ZTL zone which we were not aware of. This basic information should be provided to all guests which was disappointing otherwise it’s a €80 fine for entering the area with 1 small sign that you won’t see.

Beautiful and unique cave hotel room in great location in the old town.

It is a unique experience, and the very best of Italian interior design. Large space and very creative settings.

The interior design was amazing! I simply love it

Stayed in January 2024

Everything was as we expected and helped to create a good understanding of the history of Matera.

The original cave interior has been lovingly retained and has a number of sympathetically added features, the walk in shower, staircase to the bedroom, quirky furniture and subtle lighting. The location is at the opposite end of the new town and allows you the opportunity to enjoy Matera, without too many tourists, especially in the evening. Magic. Easy collection of keys for the property, from the pleasant girls in the museum next door. Owner was kind enough to drive us into the new town on our departure .

Some minor parts: Coffee machine doesn’t work, clogged drain in the shower room, dust covered towel rack. Can hear people passing by taking, also the music from the restaurant nearby, but it’s part of the vibe, and it’s quiet down after 10pm.

It’s a very beautiful and spacious cave home, right by the canyon. A true sassi under the cliff. The owner has arranged the rides for check in/out. Check-in is easy as the owner has arrange the key pickup at a grotto museum next to the property. We didn’t take the breakfast due to early departure.

Plastic wrappers left beside the bed, coffee machine did not work and a half finished bottle of wine with 2 dirty glasses were left on the table when we arrived. When the fridge and coffee machine were turned on the electric tripped so had to unplug the fridge.

Location was amazing, property interior really nice. Staff who checked us in was very helpful.

Absolutely unique - a centrally located recently refurbished Sasso with all amenities and very efficiently run. Francesco is an excellent host.

Stayed in July 2023

Being inside a cave, it’s a bit humid but that’s part of the experience.

Unique accommodation in the hearth of the Sassi. An old (huge) stable beautifully renovated to accommodate guests in comfort. Breakfast with local produce from a neighboring property. Very nice staff.

This place was exceptional - it was a beautiful renovation of a cave. It was always cool but there was an air conditioner or heater that we could use as needed. There was an umbrella that we were able to use and Barbara always helped us with finding tours or booking restaurants. The location is beyond compare - you open the door and you see the sassi. We were able to have breakfast at a local bnb down the road just a few minutes' away. There is literally nothing bad that I can say about this. I will definitely come back and you will have a wonderful experience if you stay here!
