Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Amazing experience in the heart of unique Sasso in Matera in a cave appartment made in what was originally an abandoned medieval chapel. Spacious, full of light, nocely decorated with great spa area and a private pool in tye basement. Great selection of wines in the room offer and drinks in the mini bar. Great breakfast on the nearby piazzetta. Very friendly manager and staff. If you want to spoil yourself with something extraordinary, this is it. The Sassi and all the landmarks are walking distance. Plenty of restaurants around.
All was genuinely perfect. The only thing is that in the other bedroom there seemed to be a bit of an issue with humidity control
La posizione e la colazione all’aperto proprio nei sassi.

Location was great - could walk everywhere. We enjoyed the included breakfast as well.
The room had a bit of a smell - but I believe it's just part of staying in a rock! I also thought I had booked the room with the pool, but turns out we had the turkish bath which is more like a sauna. Confused caused by the booking site.
Unique property in a really unique town. Very large, spacious and well equipped.
No complaints.
Great location

muy bonita habitación cueva , muy amplia y con un baño enorme
la cama era ruidosa y el aparato de aire acondicionado sonaba muchísimo
Thymus was a wonderful experience, excellent location, superb facilities, well maintained plus a very nice breakfast. We had a Turkish steam room within our room which was a real bonus & used twice a day! We used the recommended car park with a shuttle to the hotel made the arrival process very straight foward.

Problemem jest wilgoć. To jaskinia, więc musi pracować osuszacz. Po prostu trzeba to brać pod uwagę, ale taki urok miejsca.
Ein tolles Erlebnis in Matera! Die Unterkunft ist mitten in der höhlenstadt. Ein tolles Frühstück! Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, unkomplizierte Kommunikation per WhatsApp. Wunderschön und sehr empfehlenswert, um Matera genießen zu können
Posizione eccellente e staff gentilissimo
Qualche piccola anomalia nella stanza (TV non funzionante ad esempio)
Hermoso, amplio, cómodo, era maravilloso tener sauna y piscina temperada dentro de la habitación, me pareció un super plus, muy buena ubicación y recomendaciones para comer

Genuinely could not fault it
Super emplacement au cœur des Sassis. Bonne réception, de bons conseils et du choix au petit déjeuner.
L’emplacement et la piscine intérieure
La résidence est au cœur de la ville dans une rue très vivante et la nuit a été calme. Le petit déjeuner est très agréable en extérieur

L'accueil est très chaleureux, les chambres sont fabuleuses dans un cadre hors norme dans une église reconvertie, endroit très calme qui permet de passer des nuits reposantes. Le petit déjeuner servi en terrasse aux milieu des sassis est magique. Je recommande fortement cet établissement.
magnifique adresse, très bien positionné. nous avons pu profiter de la piscine et du spa privé dans la chambre. les enfants ont adorés. rénové et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. très joli petit déjeuné "fait maison"

Our room was wonderful—beautifully renovated, stylish, and spotlessly clean. The hotel’s location is truly exceptional, right in the heart of the historic old town of Matera, making it the perfect base for exploring this unique city. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always happy to help, greeting us with genuine smiles throughout our stay. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a great variety of delicious, high-quality options. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Matera!
Lieu extraordinaire pour un logement extraordinaire. Personnel très accueillant. Le bain turc intégré dans la chambre est une super expérience. Petit déjeuner varié. Je recommande fortement !

Todo me gusto
Loved Matera, hotel was lovely and in a great location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel. David, Nadia, Steve and Deb.
Es war fabelhaft. Schon im Vorfeld wurden wir sehr gut über die Parkmöglichkeit und Anreise informiert. Der Empfang war herzlich. Das Zimmer war wunderschön und die Einrichtung ein Traum ( ich mag es, wenn Raritäten die Moderne treffen....bspw. ein alter Türteil als Kopfteil fürs Bett umfunktioniert wird). Alles war super sauber und man hatte alles was das Herz begehrte. Das türkische Bad im Zimmer war großartig. Das Frühstück war mein persönliches Highlight (klein aber fein,von süß bis pikant alles dabei).
Quarto excelente e super bem decorado!
Poderiam ter um espaço para deixarmos as malas! A dica e ir com malas bem Pequenas!
We stayed in this unique accommodation in the Deluxe Suite for 2 nights, and our experience overall was very positive. The room was quite large and beautifully decorated, and the breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. The staff were helpful and accommodating, and they provided detailed instructions regarding parking and transportation to the hotel.
The room was humid one evening because one of the dehumidifiers stopped working, but it was quickly rectified the next day.
Incrível. Surpreendente e boa localização
L'emplacement au coeur de la ville historique est exceptionnel (la rue est particulièrement calme). Le logement est directement dans des sassis. Le notre n'était pas le plus grand mais très confortable et pratique. L'accueil est parfait ainsi que le petit déjeuner (il est même possible de le prendre à l'extérieur).
Perfect location in the historical Sassi area of Matera. Rooms were large and clean and very comfortable offering the cave experience that you would expect. Location perfect and importantly very easy to access with bags of you have them. Wonderful breakfast and staff so welcoming and helpful. Great place to stay in Matera.
Everything was perfect.
O quarto realmente é muito bonito, com decoração cuidadosa e criativa. Infelizmente, não dormi bem, pois a cama não era muito confortável. Ouvi os sons da rua e entrava muita claridade no quarto.
Reservei estacionamento com transfer para o hotel, mas funcionários enviaram o endereço do estacionamento errado. Acabei entrando no centro histórico, na zona de tráfico limitado, e já estou esperando a multa chegar.
La struttura in generale. In particolare, la stanza ampia ed accogliente, molto caratteristica inserita in una tipica grotta

Such a unique stay-in a cave! Very clean, nice staff & great breakfast. The location was perfect!
Help with luggage to our room would have been appreciated.
Like the cave.

Tudo maravilhoso!!!
位置相當好,房間溫馨整潔
Excellent location in the Sassi Barisano historic area. Close to a variety of bars. and restaurants or a many-stepped walk up into the top, more touristy area. Room was high ceilinged and large cave style with turkish bath. All modern finish. Fridge and aircon. Light from doorway (as classic cave) so only small windows. Small patio outside but no view. Wide choiced breakfast included outside small reception area with view. The Sassi is in a limited traffic zone. We chose the proposed out of town secure parking (book in advance) with transportation to and from the hotel. Takes about 15 minutes . Pick up from the hotel is on the hour.
For the price I was very disappointed that free bottled water was not included in the price. Hotel was unable to take large luggage before 3pm check in (only small bags) so we were unable to have more time wandering around the town before we got our room.
Chambre magnifique creusée dans la pierre, spacieuse et très bien équipée. Expérience unique dans une ville millénaire
all was perfect, staff very nice, helpful, breakfast had all sorts of foods also for vegetarians and allergic people.
Nice part of Matera, the hosts were super friendly and assisted with the tiniest of things. Room was good, clean and comfortable
No complaints!
Habitaciones maravillosas, entorno mágico, atención muy amable.
Friendly staff and location

The property is very centrally located, and the breakfast was excellent. The staff leant us a charger and was generally very helpful storing luggage after we checked out.
The room was very small and a bit oddly shaped. We made it work but be mindful that quarters may be pretty tight.
石窟洞穴旅館令人驚艷!非常涼爽!屋子很挑高 、各個燈光、插座、吧檯、掛衣區⋯ 都可看出主人充份展現洞穴不平整牆面、屋頂的佈置特色!太值得了!
When you visit Matera,location is key and this is prime location. Maria A,met us on arrival,outstanding hostess. She had us checked in,dinner reservation and Tuc Tuc driver sorted within minutes of us entering the property. Our cave room with spa was beautiful and more than fulfilled our expectations.
Cannot fault the property or staff in any way. Perfecto.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft, sehr bemühte Gastgeber, optimale Lage, super Frühstück - msn will nicht mehr weg!
We really love our stay here!! We had the room with the pool and steam room,room was clean and big. The staff is amazing especially Mariangela !!
With the price we paid we would expect at least a bottle of water included in the price/room, but we had to pay extra .
Location was on point
Bed was pretty hard
All around fantastic stay! Wonderful staff and location.
Wish we would have stayed longer
Unser Aufenthalt in diesem B&B in Matera war etwas ganz Besonderes und wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in den Sassi und bietet damit ein einzigartiges Erlebnis in einer der faszinierendsten Städte Italiens. Wir hatten eine Suite mit eigenem türkischen Dampfbad, was den Aufenthalt zu einem echten Luxus-Erlebnis gemacht hat. Die gesamte Unterkunft ist außergewöhnlich und mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet. Historischer Charme und moderner Komfort wurden hier perfekt miteinander verbunden. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und bot eine große Auswahl an süßen und herzhaften Speisen. So begann jeder Tag bestens gestärkt für die Erkundung der Sassi von Matera. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das freundliche und aufmerksame Personal. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und haben uns während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts sehr willkommen gefühlt. Insgesamt eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft in traumhafter Lage, mit viel Charme, hervorragendem Service und einem besonderen Wohlfühlfaktor. Für einen Aufenthalt in Matera können wir dieses B&B uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Recomendo bastante o hotel. Eles tem uma parceria com um estacionamento com shutle o que foi muito cômodo e tranquilo para nós que estávamos de carro!
Gostamos de tudo mas poderia ter mais amenidades no banheiro do quarto.
Falta colaboración con equipaje y muy alto el ascenso
