Reaching L'Hotel in Pietra initially was a bit of a challenge for my husband and I. I think the Hotel need to tell customers that the hotel is difficult to get to if you have large suitcases & offer assistance AFTER arrival by taxi. We are in our late 60's and reasonably fit, but it was really quite difficult with heavy luggage, I know many people arrive with only hand luggage, but we were spending 4 weeks touring southern Italy so had a large suitcase each. When leaving the hotel, reception organised someone to assist with the luggage to our taxi, which was great. Otherwise, L'Hotel in Pietra was absolutely PERFECT & enjoyed our stay very much !!!!

The location of the hotel was perfect as it was centrally located & close to both eateries & shopping. Our room was divine - gorgeous to look at, as well as being very comfortable and functional. We had a spa and our own private terrace with a view ........ simply beautiful. Breakfast was just perfect.

This hotel was spectacular in every way. You will not be disappointed!

Gorgeous cave hotel in the heart of Matera. Perfectly designed for comfort from the hot tub to the private terrace overlooking the city.

Great view from hotel and the stuffs are super helpful. But there are ~5-7min rock road/stairs walk before access to the hotel, don't bring the luggage over your loading...

The single room is way too small, not for claustrophobic person. The price should be reduced for this room.

The location was fantastic! Staff were exceptionally nice and helpful.

Everything was perfect

One of the best places i have stayed. Great atmosphere! Great location, everythin is near, yet the place is quiet. Its close to the bus station. Authentic place, partly dug in a rock. Amazing view from the terrace. My single room was so cozy and unique. The stuff was very nice and helpful. Breakfasts were very good, so many tasty choices (mini pizza, bruschettas, cheese or ham or spinat pies, croissants....and other standard choises like yoghurt, fruit, bread...). I cant imagine better choice to stay in Matera. I would definitely recommend this place.

The view from the room was beautiful, the hotel seems recently renovated and everything looked very new. The room was great: beautiful stone walls, huge bathroom and shower and again a breathtaking view. The host was very helpful and made many recommendations. Would recommend L'Hotel in Pietra to anyone stopping by Matera!

This is the cheapest cave hotel I've booked during my stay and also the best one. The environment is beyond my expectation. If you want to stay in a cave hotel during your stay in Matera, this is highly recommended. Meanwhile, they also have these music speakers inside of each room, which creates great atmosphere. Location is at the heart of Sassi and only 10min walk from the main Piazza and 15min from Matera Centrale. It comes with a great view where captures the whole view of Sassi. You can hear the echo of the clock during day time and saxophone in the evening. Extremely romantic place. Also, if memory serves, the movie No Time To Die took a few seconds of shooting scene there. So definitely worth visiting. Breakfast is served at their reception hall, with harmonious design of crave and Francesco paintings.

Great location in Matera, in a quiet area yet still close to main strip. Lovely rooms, amazing staff, just superb visits for us personally.

The single room was very small, uncomfortably small and with the shower and toilet in the same shared space. This brings down the value for money ratio just a notch.

The location is excellent, thr ambience really exceptional and very unique, the breakfast good, the staff pleasant and helpful and the beds and amenities really nice. I was lucky enough to spend one night in one of the bigger rooms as there was a problem with the small room, and it was AMAZING. if you can afford it, go for it!

The hotel is located in Sassi di Matera, everything was easily approached by feet. The room was very clean and beautiful. Most importantly, the staff was very friendly and helpful! I will definitely visit again this magical city and L’Hotel in Pietra will be my first and only choice!

Nothing except the hard slog with heavy suitcases, given the hotel is in a pedestrian area! We were away for a week so had no option but to take one good sized case and a smaller cabin case but do try to limit what you need to carry! Also parking is difficult - its street parking and you have to be careful what side of the street you park as one side is resident permits only- apparently wardens are vigilant and we initially parked the wrong side of the street so had to go back to find an alternative spot, but after a lot of circling we found a street where parking was free, thanks to reception marking the street options on a map. Its about as 10min walk in so beware. Matera is not a place for being who have difficulties walking!

Stunning room (1003 if I recall correctly, inside the hotel doors and to the left up a few steps) - with huge high ceiling given its previous function as a church. On a mezzanine level we had a huge jacuzzi spa bath for 2 with colour changing lights which was so relaxing after a hard day walking the steep streets of the town! Then off from the mezzanine was a small door leading out through rocks onto an outdoor terrace with metal table and 2 chairs and amazing views across the city to the cathedral on the other side. It really has the wow factor. We were given a complementary bottle of red wine which we enjoyed up there the first evening, and then breakfast could be delivered to your room on trays, so we took breakfast up there both mornings too - and its a suntrap, even at 9am. The continental style breakfast was lovely - a selection of savoury and sweet pastries. You could also take this in the main communal area of the hotel, and select from the buffet. Reception was very helpful in booking restaurants for us. We really loved Le Bubole (over behind the Cathedral - fantastic food and presentation) and Tierra closer to the hotel was good too.
