Fantastic location! Room was tastefully decorated. Welcoming staff and very helpful with booking our Tuk Tuk tour of Matera. Loved the complimentary water.
Everything from check in to check out was extremely efficient, friendly and professional, with smiles throughout.
Beautiful accommodation with everything we needed for our short stay.
Would highly recommend. Excellent location
The hotel was absolutely wonderful, and we were very impressed. The room was simple, clean, and offered a beautiful view. The staff were exceptionally friendly and provided outstanding service. The breakfast was excellent as well.
I highly recommend reserving the hotel's parking service and using their shuttle transfer to the property. It costs €10 and is extremely convenient.
Absolutely perfect stay. Cannot fault any part of it. Room was beautiful, breakfast was fab, and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. 100% recommend.
Location & the reception staff are the highlights. The rooms can be more luxurious considering the price point we pay & the amazing location it has. Cleanliness, interiors, toiletries can be more high end.

We had a fantastic stay. We highly recommend it. Staff was really friendly and helpful with booking dinners and providing recommendations. The room was spacious and quiet! The comment area terrace was the best. Coffee in the morning or a drink in the afternoon. A wonderful stay.
Fantastic location in the heart of the old town of Matera. We had stunning views from our room and they only get better if you go to the upstairs terrace.
Staff were very helpful and the perfect hosts. Breakfast options were a little limited but more than we needed.
One thing we did find being close to the road was that the car noise finishes late and starts early so light sleepers may need ear plugs.
We used the Parcheggio Nicoletti option for our car and this worked very well.
Highly recommended!
