EVERYTHING!!!! I had the best room! Had the best view. Everything is so near. Breakfast was good!

Staff impecável - deram-nos um mapa de Matera e sugeriram-nos um percurso pedestre pela cidade de modo a passar pelos highlights da cidade de forma não demasiado extensa, percurso este que se verificou muito acessível e com vistas incríveis da cidade; localização ótima, numa zona bastante calma e perto de imensos restaurantes. Pequeno-almoço com ótima vista da cidade.
Pequeno-almoço razoável.
Amazing location and a clean beautiful property
Nothing. It was perfect
Todo!!! Y sobretodo la atención de Cristina y su compañera de la mañana que no recuerdo el nombre amabilísimas Una vista increíble, la mejor de Matera
Très belles prestations dans quartier et calme avec une vue magnifique Le personnel était très sympathique et disponible pour rendre service ou donner des conseils

The perfect location for Matera. What a view of the city! The reception gave us a map and told us how to get to all the sites easily, which was a godsend as so easy to get lost. They were also very flexible with check in time too. Staff very easy to talk to, very focused on making your stay perfect.The room was amazing, great aircon, and so was the bistro/breakfast area. The staff there excellent too. I would recommend the shuttle service if your bringing your own car. So easy and stress free.
O quarto era incrível: limpo, confortável, amplo, com excelentes amenidades e a possibilidade de enxergarmos o interior da caverna embaixo da nossa cama foi excepcional! Atendimento nota 10 pelas meninas da recepção e café da manhã de qualidade com uma vista inesquecível.
The view was amazing The room was lovely and quite a novelty to stay in a cave. Staff were excellent and breakfast was very good
The view itself is worth the money but we really enjoyed our room too. It's such an unique experienc!. The hotel staff was very proactive, friendly and helpful. They suggested a tour which was nicely paced, educational and fun. Having breakfast with the view was a highlight!
The bathroom floor could be a little slippery but nothing a few towels on the floor couldn't solve.
Our stay at Palazzo degli Abati was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with this beautiful place. The location is spectacular, full of charm, and truly allows you to experience the magic and unique atmosphere of Matera. Our room was beautiful, spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. The entire property has so much character, perfectly blending Matera’s historic architecture with elegance and modern comfort. The staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed. They made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our entire stay. This is one of those special hotels that becomes part of the travel experience itself, rather than simply a place to stay. A true 10/10 experience that we would highly recommend. If we return to Matera, we would absolutely stay at Palazzo degli Abati again. We loved every moment! 🤍✨

Great breakfast, fabulous location, very helpful personnel - perfect!
Hermosa cueva. Atención personal. Vista increíble. Desayuno excelente
Difícil llegar. Mal señalizado
Goede locatie maar qua trappen niet geschikt voor niet fitte senioren. Als je je auto buiten de ring waar je Mag parkeren hebt gezet moet je voor 10 uur uit de binnenring zijn anders krijg je 2 boetes in en uit. Je kunt vlakbij het hotel komen maar keep This in Mind
Werking airco met hitte onvoldoende en dan had het bed ook Nog een deken. Men plaatste een ventilator om dit te compenseren
Un espai increïble des del qual conèixer una bella ciutat. Molt ben situat, habitació comfortable i ben decorada. Disposa d'una terrassa-restaurant amb vistes magnífiques i un bon esmorzar. El personal és molt atent i disposat a aconsellar-te.
Amazing location and lovely staff . The fabulous cafe upstairs was just great !
Amazing staff and amazing view! Breakfast was excellent! Food at the restaurant was surprisingly good.

camera molto bella
Posto bellissimo e posizione perfetta per visitare le bellezze di Matera.
L’emplacement la vue le personnel te es disponible et plein de tips
L’accès difficile car ZTL et bcp de marches avec les valises
Quando escolhi a acomodação booking me mostrou um quarto na caverna e não foi o que recebi . Me mandaram e-mail confirmando mas nem chequei por confiar no que escolhi . Chegando lá foi uma grande decepção . O quarto que me deram era ótimo só que não tive a experiência da caverna . O lugar é difícil para quem tem dificuldade para caminhar . Pedras, rampas, escadas. Não recomendo . Mas foi uma boa experiência . Eles tem um bistrô no rooftop com comida excelente e o café da manhã é lá. Te servem com muito bom gosto e classe . Amei . A vista é sensacional : em frente aos Sassis . Agora , achei o preço que paguei caro ,
Estar fora do prédio principal é as escada e pedras que são próprios do local , afinal está-se frente a uma cidade que começou a ser construída no século IX
Loved the spaciousness of our room and bathroom It was nice to be able to sit outside of our room and enjoy the spectacular views of Matera The breakfast was good as you chose what you wanted and again sitting on the balcony admiring the great views
Everything was great
La vue imprenable, l’accueil et les conseils petit déjeuner magnifique
La lumière dans les chambres, les chambres sont pleines est et le matin les rideaux n’empêchent pas assez la lumière de rentrer.
Це був неймовірний досвід ночівлі у номері-печері. Разом із прекрасною Матерою - це щось незабутнє . Дуже чисто, кондиціонер, чудове оснащення, зручне чисте ліжко. У ванній усе необхідне, не переживайте якщо щось забули, там навіть одноразові гелі для інтимної гігієни є 👏 А тераса- це треба бачити. Найкращий вид у місті. А які сніданки 🤩 Персонал дуже привітний і радий допомогти. Я рідко пишу відгуки але тут просто зобовʼязана розповісти людям про це місце. Дуже рекомендую.
Exceptionnel Accueil, prévenance, Une des plus belles vues sur Matera. Très bon petit déjeuner
Ras,il faudrait être difficile ☆☆☆☆☆
Effectivement le petit déjeuner est vraiment exceptionnel, le personnel très gentil et cette vue magnifique

A localização excelente quarto lindo
Friendly staff. New plumbing. Clean and tidy. We stayed for one night and left our suitcases in the car trunk. We only took a backpack with the essentials, so the stairs weren't an issue for us.
Mooie locatie, nouja mooi een top locatie!!!! Wat een uitzicht. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Lekker a la cart ontbijt. Voor een verblijf in Matera echt een aanrader!
La vue de la chambre à couper le souffle. La décoration. L’accueil (en français parfait).
Location was perfect and easy to find. A secure parking station is 5 minute walk away. The staff and instructions provided were perfect, as was there communication.
Amazing location and the rooms are the actual caves! Recommend to take a shuttle option to get to the accommodation form the parking lot. Everything is greatly organised and the breakfast was splendid.
La vue sur la vieille ville.
Le bruit du déshumidificateur et mauvaise insonorisation avec le dessus et l extérieur
Perfect location, beautiful, magical view, very friendly staff. Delicious breakfast with amazing view. Convenient room, for sure we will come back
The property was lovely and there was a restaurant/bar on top with great food and drinks. Also had the included breakfast which was great. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were pretty spacious. Really nice views of the old town.
I liked everything. If there was anything to note here it is that you cannot drive so you do have to walk your suitcases and then carry them down a few stairs, but that would be anywhere in the historic part.
Perfektně v centru

We stayed for one night and what a location. Perfect view of Matera when the sun is setting. Got to be one of the best located hotels. Very close to one of the major Sassi's - old parts of town. Also very close to James Bind setting! Good rooftop restaurant where we had some really nice food.

Quarto grande, arejado e confortável- cama principal e o sofa cama onde minha filha ficou. Colchões otimos, lençóis, toalhas e chuveiro. Linda vista! A simpatia da Cristina que nos atendeu na recepção e contou toda a história da cidade! Cafe da manhã muito bom!

Зручне розташування для знайомства з Матерою. Персонал уважний. Готель новий, але старі печери використані і облаштовані для стильного номерного фонду. Чисто. Снінанки дуже добрі. Матера перевищила наші очікування.

L'emplacement, le point de vue, la chambre dans un sasso.
Bien que magnifique, les toilettes sont séparées de la chambre uniquement par une paroi de verre.
A magical place. Perfectly situated with a unique view. An unforgettable experience in a Sassi di Matera. Very friendly staff, ready to help at all times.
A localização foi perfeita, fácil acesso. A experiência de hospedar em uma suite escavada na pedra foi muito legal. Embora rustico a suite é muito bem organizada com chuveiro em torre com pressão de água forte e agua quente. Ar condicionado e aquecedor na suite. O Staff foi super prestativo. O Crialoss café é no mesmo espaço e onde tomamos o café da manhã ( a la carte / all inclusive) e com uma vista fantástica do Sassi (os hospedes tem 20% de desconto para uso fora do café da manha). Vista surreal
Ter ficado somente 2 diarias
La vue est à couper le souffle ! L'hôtel est magnifique et le petit déjeuner parfait ! Un grand merci !!
La chaleur de la ville en plein été ! Mais ça l'hôtel n'y peut rien 😅
Great view, heritage property, cozy and clean room, friendly and flexible staff, great breakfast. We will stay here again when we visit Matera.
The location, the service, and the map offered by the owner lady, basically everything
The view from the bar/restaurant is worth the stay alone, like something from a movie. A great location only a few minutes walk into the nightlife of Matera. Reception/host were really helpful and provided lots of great info and recommendations. A perfect stay for one night.
Spacious room, very clean and a comfortable bed. The view from the room was beautiful and the access to the sea amazing! Very calm during the night so we slept very well. Would definitely stay there again.
L’emplacement, la vue depuis le restaurant
Amazing location, the view from the terrace was incredible. We had a cave room with glass floor to see the old bakery underneath. The customer service was amazing from the reception who spoke excellent English and explained using the map what to do where to go, very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to stay, wonderful experience and the cafe, breakfast and staff amazing too!
Nothing! It was amazing
Localisation exceptionnelle Personnels aux petits soins et multilingues Petit déjeuner top
Je passe ….
洞窟を美しく生まれ変わらせた部屋は素敵で、景観が素晴らしい。ホテルのBarからの眺めは最高です。朝食もとても良いです。今年はビュッフェではなくオーダーする形式でしたが、私たちはその方が良かったです。
ホテル自体には何の問題もありません。観光客が多い時間帯は駐車場へ入るのが大変です。
Todo excelente. El personal siempre nos respondió y ayudaron con todo.
The property is well placed in the Sassi with beautiful views. The restaurant is good serving delicious food. The staff were overall friendly and helpful .
The restaurant was closed when we arrived on a Thursday and it is not possible to have a drink or any food at the hotel on this day other than what is in the bedroom. The beautiful views attract many influencers who are desperate to take their perfect photograph while you are dining !

Location and beautiful room
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt und waren begeistert von unserem wunderschönen Cave-Zimmer. Das Zimmer war sehr großzügig geschnitten, stilvoll eingerichtet und etwas ganz Besonderes – wir waren von Anfang an fasziniert. Besonders praktisch war auch die Parkgarage, die nur etwa 5 Minuten entfernt liegt. Mit den Koffern mussten wir nicht viele Treppen bewältigen, was in dieser Gegend ein großer Vorteil ist. Das gesamte Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Außerdem hatten wir einen traumhaften Ausblick auf die Sassi, den wir jeden Tag genossen haben. Direkt neben dem Hotel befindet sich ein sehr gutes Restaurant. Als Hotelgäste erhält man dort 20 % Rabatt.
Nicht-Hotelgäste können auch an den Zimmern vorbeilaufen. Einmal kam es vor dass fremde Personen auf unseren Terrassenmöbeln saßen
Die Lage ist für Matera perfekt: tolle Aussicht von der Terrasse auf die Stadt; und das schon beim Frühstück. Frühstück ist extrem umfangreich , man kann von der Bistro Karte auswählen , was man und soviel man will. Selten so gefrühstückt, und das bei tollem Panorama. Unsere Höhlensuite war einfach super elegant und schön und ist sehr zum empfehlen, zumal man direkt davon eine Sitzecke hat, von der man Abends das Panorama des beleuchteten Matera geniessen kann. Das ganze Team ist ausgesprochen freundlich; Christina hat uns alles erklärt , was man machen sollte und hat uns perfekte Tipps für das Abendessen gegeben. Die Anreise mit dem Shuttle von P 4 lief einwandfrei - wie auch die Kommunikation mit dem Hotel vor der Ankunft.
Da gibt es gar nichts, was hätte besser sein können.
Terassen utsikten o enkelt att hitta. God service hos personalen:)
Beautiful room in a cave. Good looking and high end materials make the room authentic and luxurious at the same time time. The location is great, in the sassi, with easy access to the car park (the instructions, including a video, shared by the hotel make it even more easy. Very friendly and supportive staff. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended!
Very nice room, newly refurbished. The shower/bathroom was superb
Quarto confortável, bem iluminado. Ótimo atendimento da recepcionista. Localização e café da manhã sensacional.
A acomodação precisa de alguns reparos.
The location was excellent. We enjoyed the feeling of being in a cave. Nadia was great at the front desk. She was helpful both before and during our stay.

What an incredible location! The view from the terrace is probably the best we saw in Italy and having our (delightful) breakfast overlooking that view felt so special. The welcome from Cristina was very warm; she was a fantastic host and gave us lots of info and help. The staff generally were really responsive and easy to get hold of when you needed anything. We stayed in one of the cave rooms and it was very impressive with all the amenities you'd want/need. There is a dehumidifier to lessen the obvious damp that comes with being in a cave and the air con keeps you nice and cool. One thing we would note is that the bed on both nights felt quite damp and that effected our sleep quality. However, we didn't tell Cristina or the staff because we assumed we were just dealing with what is probably pretty much expected if you choose to sleep in a cave! Saying that, we haven't seen other reviews mention damp sheets so maybe this was out of the ordinary and something we should have flagged in retrospect. Aside from that, the stay was wonderful and we loved our time in Matera - we would love to return. Thanks for everything, Cristina and co! One more thing - if you have a rental car, I'd highly recommend taking the offer to park your car just outside Matera in a secure carpark and then use the transfer minivan to just outside the hotel - avoids too much sweaty walking with suitcases!
The bed felt quite damp when we were going to sleep though we put that down to sleeping in a cave..!
Estar no coração de Matera, café da manhã excepcional, vista deslumbrante
O acesso é difícil com malas, o estacionamento fica um pouco distante, mas é o preço a pagar que compensa. É um aviso, não uma crítica, se organize para descer com só uma mala. O estacionamento com transfer cobra por cada vez que você for retirar o carro, se for o caso melhor pagar o estacionamento coberto que tem próximo.
The perfect place to stay in Matera! The view cannot be beat! Great breakfast, nice bar to watch the sunset, and very comfortable, clean rooms! Loved everything about this place!

Great view
Hard to get too
This place was stunning! The staff, Nadia, upon check in, was fabulous. Our room was lovely, clean and very unique. The view was amazing. Breakfast overlooking town was breathtaking. The food was delicious and great options were offered.
The beds (we had two twins) were very small.
Accueil chaleureux et en plus en français la veille de notre arrivée, nous avons reçu tous les renseignements nécessaires pour accéder facilement à notre hôtel. La chambre était très confortable et le Services impeccable. Le petit déjeuner était excellent.

Die Lage, der Charme, der Empfang von Cristina und die Ausstattung des Zimmers waren sehr gut. Die Aussicht atemberaubend und Service vom Restaurant Crialoss sehr freundlich.
Leider hat es keinen Gepäckservice. Die Zimmer sind nur per Steintreppe erreichbar. Eine 4 Stern Unterkunft muss diesen Service anbieten. Cristina, die Rezeptionistin, hat uns freindlicherweise ihre Hilfe angeboten. Danke Cristina.
Great location and lovely breakfast terrace. Very clean and spacious room
