Had wanted to visit Matera for many years and it lived up to our expectations. Beautiful historic city and easy to walk around. We had a couple of good meals , one terrible and fine dining experience a massive let down. This can happen in any city just your luck sometimes you can be unlucky.

Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was...
Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was Matera was definitively worth 1 full day or 2, especially if you hike to the point of view on the other side of the little canyon, and/or visit a few historic monuments. We could not visit the famous trogloditic crypts of the original sin since the touristic site to make the compulsory reservations (1 day in advance) is such an absurd mess.

The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia.
The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia. The ancient city is exceptional and definitely worth staying over the night . You easily get lost when walking around (GPS is not very helpful) but it is part of the adventure;) . Be prepared to climb many steps and take your time to enjoy the unique climate of the place.

Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi and cave dwellings. There are also some interesting attractions that you can visit to gain a better understanding of how people used to live and what Matera went through before becoming a UNESCO site and the amazing place it is today.
One such attraction is Casa Noha, which is a multimedia demonstration inside a historic stone house. It provides a helpful insight into the history of Matera and the struggles of cave-dwelling life.
Another interesting place to visit is Casa Grotta nei Sassi di Matera, which is not just a cave-dwelling but also a living museum. You can experience what it was like to live in a cave with a straw bed, tiny kitchen, and livestock all within the confines of the cave.
Chiesa Rupestre della Madonna della Croce is a church located on the other side of the Sassi. It offers great views and is definitely worth the drive from Matera.

We had a wonderful time at Matera.
We had a wonderful time at Matera. The people were very friendly even though the season was just about to start and alot of facilities were still closed. We had a great first of the season meal at Enoteca dai Tosi with a tour of the facility. Tasted new wine, delicious meats from the local butcher, local cheeses, and some dishes from the new menu. The town is so beautiful, that you can't take a bad picture. You must prepare for a lot of stairs and walking...have comfortable shoes...
The town was even prettier at night. It was great! We wanted to stay longer and keep exploring....
This is 2 hotels (Fra i Sassi and ai Terrazzini) together. Beautiful location with views of Matera from the majority of the room's terraces / balconies. Big rooms, comfy beds. Only charged me 25 euro for my dog to rest in the room with me. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great continental breakfast. Short walk into the main piazza of the town for tourist things to see and to obtain lunch and dinner; however, note a lot of the walking is over uneven paving stones in roads or on steps. Plan your footwear accordingly.
The location is STUNNING. Right in the centre of Matera's Sassi area. The breakfast (included) was continental and very good. There's no restaurant, but it doesn't really matter as there are so many within walking distance of the hotel. The thermae spa under the hotel is a MUST. You have to book it and it costs 25 euros for 90 minutes but it's worth it to swim in blue-lit caves and use the steam rooms/saunas etc. We loved it. Our bedroom was a cave and, as far as we could tell, so were most of the other rooms.
Beautiful hotel in one of the most spectacular locations in the town. Views from the hotel were stunning, especially from the restaurant/bar upstairs. The family running the place was so kind. I had a bad accident in Matera due to a fall and they went above and beyond to help us during the slightly challenging time - including personally picking us up late at night from the ER because taxi service was not available. A big thanks to Antonella and her mom for the hospitality and kindness.
Amazing location in the Sassi. Stairs to reach it and a little hard to find until you get your head around Matera map. The hotel’s instructions for parking were helpful. We stayed 2 nights and had upgraded to a balcony suite which was located next to the hotel - excellent views and large rooftop deck for evening drinks. Large living room and a bedroom both with good sized windows. Older style furnishings and terrazzo floors. Good breakfast buffet.
The apartment is as you see in the photos, everything clean and very comfortable beds. Good breakfast is provided; varied juices, milk, coffee, fresh fruit, toasts and yogurts, much better than most hotels in Italy. The location is top as you are right in the centre. And the host goes far and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, from explaining a bit of history about Matera to providing a complementary bottle of wine. 100% recommend to stay here.
Palazzo Degli Abati is a beautiful boutique hotel well located in Matera. The views from the terraces are stunning. The room we stayed in had a glass floor displaying the ancient dug out cave. The room was very well equipped with good quality fixtures and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a wide selection of sweet and savory options and was very generous.
Only four rooms but an outstanding ‘caveman’ dwelling! Beautifully restored/developed blending the original cave with modern amenities. Perfect location for exploring Matera. If driving highly recommend the park and shuttle service that avoids the need to park in the city and cart luggage. Shuttle drops you yards from the hotel. Excellent breakfast and great hosts.
Pleasant and helpful reception in a beautifully designed room carved in stone and rock. Also smells clean and fantastic. Nice mattress, slept well, lobby is beautifully lit, making the parts carved in stone look biblical. Most importantly, however, the hotel captures the experience, one of the nicest hotels we stayed in on our Italy trip. Grade 9/10
SEXTANTIO Hotel at Matera is the PLACE to stay in that ancient Italian city. The Staff (from the front desk mgr Marco to Vita to Asman) were highly professional and made our stay more pleasant. The room is and ancient cave with all the comfort of a 5 star hotel suite (worth the experience). The city is AMAZING!!!!
Very nice Sassi room hotel. Helpful staff arranged tour and dinners. Room was good, and as expected. A cave. Comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast included. Location is perfect and there is an excellent artisan gallery only a few doors away. Via Corso is nearby for evening strolls and Matera is Magical.
The hotel is in UNESKO protected area and cars are not allowed. The suite was great for two adults and a teenager. Large living room. Good size bedroom. The bathroom was rather small, but that is very common for Italy. The hosts were nice and accommodating. I would gladly stay there again.
YOU'RE IN A CAVE WITH A HOT TUB! I can't say enough about how cool it was to stay in a cave that had all the modern appointments of a 4 star hotel. It was like something out of a dream. And then to wake up to an exceptional breakfast brought to your room was the cherry on top. Fantastic!
The Hotel itself is an adventure, the rooms very different to what you are accustom, its literally a cave within the mountains, the town Matera unbelievable. The personnel all were very friendly and serviceable, definitely will be back.
An exceptional experience, cave rooms are beautifully done. Lovely staff. Great agreement with local car park and provide shuttle to hotel. Great position to explore Matera. Just be aware, unsurprisingly, the cave rooms are quite damp.
The location was great, the view from the window was probably one of the best in Matera, the host Nunzio was friendly and he provided tips for restaurants and parking and how to get to the hotel. Overall great stay at Cave rooms sassi.
The location was near the old city of Matera. We had a wonderful walk across the caves and the old town.. In my opinion, Matera is the most beautiful city in Italy.
The host, Enzo, was very kind with us. Overall, we had a nice stay.
very awesome and design forward renovation. the juxtaposition of the ancient cave dwelling with modern amenities was super cool. it was our favorite hotel of the trip. immaculately clean. hosts were amazing. fantastic location.
Boutique cave hotel with attention to detail. Great location in the Sassi with walking distance to sites and restaurants. Fantastic young brother/sister team that we’re beyond fun and helpful.
We loved everything about the hotel and Matera! Bianca at the reception gave us great restaurant recommendation and booked us a table also. It was truly the best food we had in Italy!
it is magic, the hotel in an on itself tells the story of Matera, from breakfast at the grotto all the way to drinks at the roof top , with incredible service and rooms
