    Beds were just a bit too firm.

    The location great for exploring the city. Loved the experience of staying in a cave- very magical. Breakfast was very good and there was evening aperitivo available which was nice.(for a fee) Loved all the candlelight provided.

    The location was great. Beautiful, exceptional accommodation in a cave. Minimalistic and lovingly decorated with original materials. Bathtub in the room and underfloor heating. Delicious breakfast and very friendly stuff.

    I was not able to stay longer.

    The environment is spectacular! Its the most romantic hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The stone surroundings and the furnishings in each room were accentuated by candle light making the ambiance unforgettable. The historic significance only added to the experience.

    there was literally nothing I didn't like

    The room was incredible. To have the experience of living in a cave dwelling with modern comforts is unique and incredible. The modern systems make the cave cozy and dry. The lighting is great, the furniture and many details, including the large medieval door lock are designed to a high aesthetic standard. The staff is fantastic - extremely helpful, responsive and accommodating.

    We got a room where shower is handheld because the tub is in the floor at the side of the room. But then it still adds to the overall experience. ... and I forgot to get get my second portion of burrata... was distracted by my fone

    Authenticity. Breakfast galore!!! Very accommodating staff THE BED... best sleep I had since I was a baby. The candle lights and sound proof cave contributed to the magic too! Accessibility for dropoff and pickup using toktok.

    The cave was very cool and beautifully adapted to support a hotel stay while also staying authentic to its roots. Only suggestion would be to add a couple more lights in the room and a night light for the toilet area.

    A wonderful stay in a unique place! Breakfasts were terrific, the room was generously sized and had a wonderful sitting terrace buffered by a small garden. Great views! Moonrise over the ridge was spectacular.

    Matera is truly magical and shouldn't be missed if you're in southern Italy. I loved the romantic nature of the hotel and especially our room. The breakfast was phenomenal - there's no other word for it. The setting in the grotto was unique and there were 5 long tables of everything you could want. I was able to sample just about every food of the region. They staggered the seatings so the room wasn't too crowded because you had to reserve a time the day before. The staff super friendly and very accommodating with our requests which made our stay even more special.
