So, if you want to know what it is like to sleep in a palace this is the place. Wonderfully restored and decorated, the property strikes the right balance betwen modern convenience (the handicapped facilities were first class) and the feeling that you are in a place that is very old. The room we had overlooked the Cathedral which unfortunately... More

Beautifully restored and unbelievably located in a piece of yet to be discovered paradise. Hotel is restored without sparing and expense. ( Air conditioning struggles due to power supply issues for the area, but the walls are so thick, from beautiful sand stone that it would stay cool except in full summer. All rooms are a good size with great... More

You can happily spend half an hour just roaming the corridors and discovering all the art works and marvelling at the changing views out of the windows. Our "standard" room... More

While waiting for the GPS to "recalculate" - We were approached by a male who was wearing an ID card that appeared to be issued... More

This hotel is lovely: stylish, comfortable, in a great location. Far and away the best hotel in Matera and terrific if you don't want to stay in a sasso (probably the best other options). We enjoyed being able to relax in our junior suite in the hottest part of the day. However, we only stayed there because we got a... More
