This is a great "cave house"! It's a bit difficult to find; but it is worth the effort. The hotel will provide direction w/ pictures upon booking. I found a GPS to be beneficial. It's a bit of a walk from the car park to the hotel. Lucca was available to ferry our bags Personal service is evident from check-in.... More

This hotel is excellent, not a three star, I give it 5 stars! Our room was spacious, and very modern decorated with cofee facilities and a mini bar and wi-fi, free. I enjoyed the lovely toiletries, very nice! Breakfast was great and Guiseppi and all other staff were extremely helpfull and friendly. Hotel is in the oldest part, with an... More

we had a perfect stay in this renovated historical place, very friendly and helpful staff. tastefull renovations, comfortable rooms , and again it is is right in the heart of ols Matera, The most attractive churches are just 1-2 minuets walking distance, good restaurants 3-5 minutes walking

This certainly is a unique place. All the rooms are built into 9000 year old caves. The rooms are very large, well done and comfortable. The staff is very nice and the place is well run. But--- I have two concerns:1. There was mold growing along the bottom of the wall in our bathroom. We are not terribly allergic to... More

We loved this hotel - a cluster of private rooms (some in caves, some not) on the edge of the Sassi and its ravine. Very modern and comfortable furniture inside what appears to be a primitive dwelling. Staff were wonderful (my husband was sick and they took good care of him.) Good breakfast, good restaurant recommendations, beautiful views, and the... More

The best overall hotel of the some 200 that I have stayed in. Location: convenient to both sassi districts and 5 minutes from the main sites if caveso as well as the main stretch for traditional dining (via brunno bozzi). Right outside the front door is a fantastic panorama. Be sure to turn right through the arch at the monastery... More

This was a very good choice on our Puglia/Amalfi roadtrip. So in my usual fashion Good: - location, location, location - we liked being in the old city (not that Matera is too big to walk it :-)) - very good welcome service - friendly staff ready to answer questions and interested in feedback - rooms renovated from old interiors...

The Basiliani Hotel is perfectly situated in Matera. We parked in the Piazza San Pietro (free) (N40.664663/E16.611996) and a short walk later we discovered the hotel. Our room had a wonderful view of the caves and the sunrise. It was modern with all the amenities one would need for a comfortable evening. Great hotel for the price and location. We... More

The location and the view of the hotel is unbeatable. The design is also nice, quite minimalist and modern design inside the room which i expected it would be a little bit more rustic than that, but it really up to your preference. The breakfast is one of the best we had in during our trip to Southern part of... More
