This is an exceptional property. From start to finish the staff were fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable about the property. This really is a once in a lifetime experience. The set up is fantastic. Dining room in the cave is a one off.
Nothing. All was brilliant.

Unique property in a stunning location and very sensitively restored to preserve all the amazing history, culture and character. Breakfast spread was exceptional and staff were unobstrusive but ever present. Due to the setting, the rooms are missing a few modern conveniences like air conditioning and standing showers but this was more than offset by the superb character and ambience of the property. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Rooms had air cooling systems but not air-conditioning so we had to adapt as the Materans do, by closing all doors and windows to the sun, and taking refuge in the shade - the steps and rock-hewn nature also meant accessibility is not what you get in a modern hotel, but that is to be expected and we managed well, with the kind assistance of staff.

First of all, this was the most unique experience as we stayed in a "luxury cave" - for real..!!!! You will never know an experience such as this as Matera dates back 9,000 years. Btw, a luxury cave , with all the modern day accoutrements.!!! The breakfast was the best we had in all of our Italian travels.
Absolutely nothing. Everything was as unique as impressive..!!!!

It was really cool being in the cave as an experience. The staff were really nice and it’s an excellent restoration project.
As to be expected with a cave, it is quite dark and damp in the rooms. But it is an experience. The biggest issue for me was the value for money. It’s cool to be able to say that we stayed in a cave, but I wouldn’t recommend it to others just because I think it is too expensive for what it is.
