Le Dimore dell'Idris

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel met our expectations in every way. Beautiful clean rooms. Warm inviting staff. Ideal locations. Great value. If we ever end up back in Matera we would seek to stay here again."

Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely recommend staying here! the hotel was beautiful, the beds and pillows so so comfortable. The breakfast buffet was delicious and plentiful and the staff were so attentive, kind and helpful. Matera is a beautiful place to visit and quite special to be able to stay right in the centre. We had access to a little patio table and it allowed us to soak up the views of this historic UNESCO site as much as we wanted. Location is also great - made it very easy to swing by our room in between each activity of the day to refresh; very important with the heat in this town. We also tried out the baths - very relaxing and worth it. Make sure to call or email the hotel to book a timeslot for the baths - you don't get a discount if you book online, even if you are staying at the hotel."

Caveoso Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"There were 2 families traveling (1 family of 3 and the other was us, a couple) this was our 4th trip to Matera and 1st for our friends (family of 3). I booked this hotel because, the place we normally stay was not available. If you are reading this review, and are booking through Expedia, just know that a “standard” room is NOT cave lodging. The woman checking us in (I’m sorry that I don’t have her name) upgraded our friends to a luxury deluxe suite. I was very happy about this because I wanted this Matera experience for them. Everything else was perfect and would stay again but I’ll make sure that I’m staying in a cave room."

Fra i Sassi - Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Wow !!! Stop looking you have found a gem !! Amazing room with a lovely terrace to enjoy aperitivo. Great staff with great recommendations, help , friendly. Breakfast was excellent If you have a car follow their instructions. Great to park car & do transfer . This town deserves to spend a few nights to really enjoy this unique experience Thank you again amazing staff"

Corte San Pietro

10/10 Excellent

"FULL STOP! BOOK IT! Anne, Giuseppe and Angela in the breakfast room are ALL AMAZING! The entire staff was kind and supportive of even helping me talk italian because I was in language school. Get the parking information in advance and reserve your spot. They will arrange for a pick up at the garage and you don't have to schlepp your luggage which in Matera can be challenging. I absolutely LOVED this property and I have traveled to 37 countries. Charming - unique and I simply adored the cave experience."
