The staff were very friendly and super helpful, even after we’d had a problem at checkout which was totally our fault. The property is right in the middle of the old town which is where you want to be in Matera. Many restaurants within close proximity

Spacious cave room with a nice bathroom within walking distance of everything. An excellent breakfast. Remember that you can’t park here and must park outside of the zone on the street. Matera is amazing.
