    This place was absolutely amazing! The location puts you in the heart of Matera and you feel like you have stepped back in history. The rooms are well designed and well decorated. The bonus is the wonderful cat that stays on the property and was there to check us into our room with the incredibly nice staff. The breakfast is also fantastic!

    Everything was perfect.

    Great location, super clean and very nicely decorated. This place was the highlight of our trip to southern Italy. Paola and Francesco are the best, and they can tell you about the history of Matera and recommend great places across Basilicata and Puglia. The rooms are super comfortable and high-end. They thought about every single detail. Breakfast is fantastic and the whole staff make your stay unique. I would love to come back to Matera and stay at Aque Cave again. You should not think twice and stay here. You will not be disappointed. Easiest decision ever

    Luxurious ‘caveman’ dwelling!

    Hot water was a little slow in arriving!

    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.

    Nothing.

    Everything. The room is sooooo spacious and well-decorated with style, it’s truly a unique but very comfortable experience to stay in Acque Cave. I love all the details they put in the room that make guest feel comfortable and relaxed, including the fragrance, candles, and very good quality room amenities! The slippers, shower gel/shampoo/conditioner/bath salt are the best I had in my 14 nights travel in Italy this time. What’s add-on and invaluable bonus about Acque Cave is its hosts, Paola and Francesco are the most welcoming and accommodating, they gave us very useful and important advice on how to park the car (and it’s in a cheap rate!!!) and where to eat and drink in Matera. Those are the good advice and recommendations you can’t find on Google but from them. Paola also gave us a very vivid history background about Matera and Acque Cave with made me feel connected with this beautiful and unique place immediately. I appreciate everything here and I strongly recommend to visit Matera and stay in Acque Cave!

    Wow, what a unique experience to stay in a cave like this! Something about it was very calming and relaxing. I especially loved the interior design, it fit the cave perfectly and provided great ambience. The room was spacious and actually smelled quite nice! Breakfast was good and there was a big cistern underneath the breakfast place. The host was nice and helpful and offered some history about the room which was very interesting!

    Only wish we had planned to stay more than one night!

    The Aque Cave is a must! What better way to experience the beautiful Sassi than sleeping in a genuine cave! The room was very clean and had beautiful touches throughout. The breakfast was exceptional. Paola was incredible!!! She went out of her way to help us find parking, gave us a tour and history of the area and was so incredibly warm and hospitable. She made our stay extra special! The cave is in a great location and the area is breathtakingly beautiful!

    Absolutely nothing

    Aque Cave made our stay in magical Matera even better. Everything is done in good taste. The room smelled heavenly, not musty like you would think being in a cave though people sensitive to scent would be put off. The bed and even the pull out sofa were the ultimate in comfort, even the quality of the toiletries were top notch. Breakfast was great and had a bit of everything to suit most tastes. The location couldn't have been better, right at the entrance to the Sassi so you don't have to carry your luggage too far on the uneven stones. The hosts provided useful information prior to arrival and were very accommodating . Truly a wonderful experience and highly recommend this unique place.
