This is a beautiful property in a fantastic location but it is not a 5star experience 1. Parking- not at all clear when I booked that parking was no where near the hotel - I recognize that the hotel is in the “historic district” but so were all the other hotels we stayed at on this trip. One offered to “register your car for your stay” and then offered valet parking while others offered detailed maps to offsite parking / provided entry codes and parking spots/ and free pick up via golf cart or similar - this hotel offered none of that detail wanted 15euros to pick you up if you used the lot they recommended 2. Spa - beautiful facility - but during the hour we had access as function of our booking “day trippers” were also allowed in and moved in a pack of 4 allowing no access for others as they took selfies and staff aided pictures in the sauna -disappointing 3. Finally grace is in the details and the staff while super pleasant and nice have crearly not been trained in the finer art of customer service / we had an hour access to the spa and were never informed and pro-actively asked to book our time slot as availability is limited. We were apparently a VIP guest and didn’t know that until after our stay Tons of potential but not quite there yet if the aspiration is to be as exceptional as the facilities and location warrant

We absolutely loved everything about our stay - the beautiful rooms, the stunning spa, the delicious and generous breakfast, and the spectacular surrounds. We felt totally spoilt for our stay. We parked about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel, in a parking building (€1 per hour), which was handy enough to the hotel. Highly recommend!

Great location. The atmosphere was a bit cool, despite the fact that it is in a cave. I expected it to feel more warm and lived-in. But the service and everything else was lovely.

Information about the area

Matera, Italy

Matera is the capital of the Matera province in the Basilicata region of Italy. It boasts the sassi, well-preserved rock-cut settlements that are a World Heritage site and one of Southern Italy's many important attractions. The town center, the oldest part of town, was built on the edge of a bare plateau where a high rocky mount looms over the spot where a valley descends to the long deep river-ravine. This is where you'll now find the town cathedral and the fairly typical Italian town center. The town's main historical museum, the Museo Nazionale Ridola, contains exhibits from distant eras of Basilicata's past, from prehistory to the Roman age (closed Monday mornings; a small entrance charge). Nearby, Palazzo Lanfranchi houses the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna della Regione Basilicata - an art museum incorporating the Pinacoteca D'Errico, which has lots of religious paintings by southern painters and, more interestingly, the Centro Carlo Levi, which contains a range of paintings by the twentieth-century artist and writer who is a part of this region's modern history.
