Scenic views, unique experience. Breakfast had a nice selection of breads, fruits, meats, cheeses and pastries in a very enjoyable setting. Staff at breakfast were attentive and cordial. Many restaurant selections within a short, but hilly walk. In particular we enjoyed our meal and view from Il Terrazzino Ristorante and the tour of the artifacts in its basement.

We had a wonderful time at Matera. The people were very friendly even though the season was just about to start and alot of facilities were still closed. We had a great first of the season meal at Enoteca dai Tosi with a tour of the facility. Tasted new wine, delicious meats from the local butcher, local cheeses, and some dishes from the new menu. The town is so beautiful, that you can't take a bad picture. You must prepare for a lot of stairs and walking...have comfortable shoes...
The town was even prettier at night. It was great! We wanted to stay longer and keep exploring....

A unique city with a long and interesting history.
A unique city with a long and interesting history. Parts of the old city are still being renovated. The ancient cave structures that have been transformed into modern hotels, restaurants, shops and bars are worth seeing. Tourists are not allowed to bring cars into the old city and parking outside can be tricky. Also, there are a lot of steps and uneven pavement so comfortable shoes are a must. Not very accessible for those who have mobility issues.

We loved our Ape Tour of the city.
We loved our Ape Tour of the city. As seniors, we were not able to walk the hills and steps so the tour was a great overview of the history. Beautiful, historic city! Glad we got here.. then had to go to our next hotel and watch the James Bond movie that was filmed there!

Matera is the only place in the world where people can boast...
Matera is the only place in the world where people can boast to be still living in the same houses of their ancestors of 9,000 years ago! Matera is the oldest continuously lived-in-settlements... in the World! Our yellow-washed stone house had a balcony to enjoy our cappuccino & roof-top terrace to gaze at the stars. It alone was another jewel of an experience. The town makes you feel as though you are a witness to Biblical times. You've seen it featured in Mel Gibson's "Passion of Christ" & Bond 007's "No Time to Die".

Matera is a step back in time.
Matera is a step back in time. The old town is built around the original old town, Sassi. Very easy to get around even tho it looks like a lot of stairs and ups and downs. Food great, people friendly. The local bread is amazing. Home made pasta in many restaurants is amazing.
I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff was friendly, and accommodating. We stayed in August which is the height of holiday so it it is busy with tourists. Ivana made it a point to share that we should reserve dinner at restaurant prior to traveling to Italy. Her recommendation was spot on. Our meal was wonderful. Our breakfast the following morning was just as delightful and yummy. Our room was perfect and clean. If I were to go back to Matera I would stay Cenobio Hotel again.
It was a real adventure sleeping in a cave room! The staff were very friendly and helpful before we arrived in providing transportation options for getting to the hotel. We chose the Damasco parking garage, which provides a shuttle to the hotel and pickup on departure, and were glad we had. The breakfast was excellent, and we enjoyed eating outside in the courtyard. The hotel is situated in an ideal location for exploring Matera.
Brilliant location, a few hundred metres from Matera’s historic centre yet superbly quiet & calm with plenty of secure parking & a very pleasant pool to relax by. Extremely nice & plentiful breakfast served in a light & airy breakfast room - which you really appreciate after all Matera’s cave dwellings! Hotel staff very helpful, gave us town maps & good recommendations for restaurants within 5-10 minutes walk.
Palazzo Degli Abati is a beautiful boutique hotel well located in Matera. The views from the terraces are stunning. The room we stayed in had a glass floor displaying the ancient dug out cave. The room was very well equipped with good quality fixtures and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a wide selection of sweet and savory options and was very generous.
Our "cave room" was fantastic, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Great views from our window and from the hotel premises. Also the best breakfast we had in Italy by quite a margin, with everything from newly baked foccacia to fresh fruits. The staff was helpful with informing us on where to walk to see the most of Matera. No luxury hotel, but everything we wanted from a hotel in Matera.
This is a really special place to stay. Yes it does not have all mod cons, but that is the point. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel service, go somewhere else. If you are looking for a great experience and night in one of the old Matera caves, look no further. Great location in fascinating Matera. Breakfast was a magnificent spread. Would heartily recommend this hotel.
Breakfast was a standard selection that you would otherwise get from most hotels in the area. The hotel itself though is stunning and in the cave area of Matera. The views from the room were stunning and honestly second to none. The room was comfy, modern and when all windows and curtains were closed was quiet and pitch black to help with sleep.
I loved this hotel the staff were extremely helpful and friendly
The room was amazing with the rustic cave walls and we could see down into the caves below
The breakfast was brilliant and looked lovely laid out ready for the morning
It was nice having a little area to sit out side
The location was perfect for exploring Matera
Nice hotel in the heart of Matera, views from the hotel's terrace are breathtaking. Room was in the cave so we really enjoyed the experience of sleeping there. We also booked the spa. Great experience, loved it as it wasn't fully packed with people. Superb breakfast - if I could I would've tried everything.
This resort far exceeded our expectations. The location and view are the best in town. Breakfast was amazing and the staff was one of the best we came across in Italy. Staying is a cave is the only way to go in Matera so look no further.
The Hotel itself is an adventure, the rooms very different to what you are accustom, its literally a cave within the mountains, the town Matera unbelievable. The personnel all were very friendly and serviceable, definitely will be back.
Beautiful hotel in the middle of Sassi di Matera
Cinzia was great helping with every detail, from guided tours to reservations at local restaurants
For breakfast they ha plenty of choices and among those the best cornetto ever !
Gorgeous cave hotel with modern comforts, surrounded by the history of Matera. Tricky to find initially (as all things in Matera can be) but worth it. Great breakfast spread. Also we loved Charlie the hotel doggo!
What an amazing place!!! Our room was in a cave felt like stepping back in time but with all the comfort and amenities of a modern hotel. Great location short walk up the hill to see the sights of Matera.
Amazing location in the heart of Matera. All the rooms are in the cave which make this hotel unique. The staff was exceptional accommodating our late arrival and then helped us with parking our car.
Boutique cave hotel with attention to detail. Great location in the Sassi with walking distance to sites and restaurants. Fantastic young brother/sister team that we’re beyond fun and helpful.
Perfectly located; a modern cave hotel very tastefully designed. Breakfast was beyond expectations and the husband and wife team who are the hosts were extremely kind and helpful.
