Staying in the cistern was an experience but you must be sure footed

the only thing that let it down slightly is the advertised breakfast is just a few cartons of juice and some biscuit type things. I think it would be more transparent to not say breakfast is included.

great setting, ideal base and lovely and clean

The rooms are small so with an additional bed it loses some of its charm.

Location is amazing. The old house with thick walls has great atmosphere. It was like in the photos, clean, cozy, nice.

I could not get the television to work. It started out working fine and then stopped displaying channels altogether. Also, the wifi was spotty in the bedroom, but worked perfectly throughout the rest of the suite. However, after repositioning the router, I was able to get better signal while in the bedroom.

Great location! I loved the cave-like charm and character of the suite. Teresa was very helpful with everything from check-in, to suggesting places to eat and activities to do. I was very comfortable in the room, as well as in the city.

The bathroom door is glass

the location was very central and the room was big . The person who took care of us was super friendly - she gave us a gift from the town and even booked a restaurant reservation to help us out!

The check-in time was not available after 19.30, not even with a surcharge as it was said in the info e-mail we received. The staff was n ice enough, but as we got stuck in traffic it was very-very stressful that they weren't a bit more flexible. However the room is underground and cute, the ventilation system makes it quite noisy, so u are underground expecting silence, but there is the unavoidable ventilation noise the whole day and night.

The accommodation could not be more central than it is. The room had a particular design and we quite liked the uniqueness of sleeping in a cistern. The breakfast is also very nice, freshly baked pastries, cakes, coffee etc. all in a small buffet.

The stairs to the bedroom were a challenge but we coped!

Location was amazing! Good restaurants and bars across the street and Teresa looked after us well. Matera is a very special place and it was great staying right in the middle!

No amenities (ie glasses, bottle opener) so difficult to enjoy the gorgeous rooftop terrace as advertised

Amazing location - in a cave

Tv can only be watched one the first floor. In the bedroom area is no tv.

Its simple, clean, easy accessible and it’s in historical sassi located.

All was good!

Very nice furnished cave (we were in the ‘Aqua’ location, a former water storage cave). Large. Clean. Very friendly and helpful personnel, who took care we could leave our luggage there already around 11am! In the center of Matera, ideal for visiting this awesome city. And they even waited for us at the bus stop to bring us to the cave (car parking not allowed in the old city, so you better park in the large parking garage at Via Saragat, and take the bus or walk to the center).

The upper floor of the room could benefit of a fan.

Location. Clean. Great staff. Amazing breakfast.

The facility is right in the center of Matera, the suitcases have to be carried by hand for about ten minutes on the cobblestones because cars can't get in. But isn't that the beauty of Matera?

The rooms are very nice, clean, neat. The owner Roberto was very helpful and kind, always present from the beginning of the reservation. The facility has a beautiful little terrace from which to view Matera and have aperitifs at sunset lights.

It was just a little hard to find, but I got there!

Amazing room. Fantastic location right in the middle of the old town and very friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful location right in the middle of the Sassi. The shared rooftop has an amazing view - especially beautiful at night. A really special stay, would recommend!

Slept in catacomb without air and light with mosquittos all over the place

Excellent location Fantastic city

The airconditioning did not work in both our rooms. Very old airconditioners. With 40 degrees plus outside, you would expect a solution. No alternative solution was offered (eg. fan, another room, refund) after various complaints. The rooms were warmer inside than outside. Only a very tiny window. Not very clean and mold on the walls . The rooms need an upgrade!

The location was good!

The room in the old wells/cisterns was so cool. I loved staying in a cave.

The host Teresa was fabulous. So helpful with advice for what to see and do in Matera, and even came to pick us up from where we’d parked our car. Great service

The lower apartment cleanliness : the sofa bed was filthy and dust falling from the ceiling (the stone)and 2 windows that couldn't be closed so it was freezing all night. the grill bathroom fan was not clean.

the location was super!

Breakfast could have been better, quality of coffee poor, croissants not always available - perhaps bread would have been a nice option!

Location was excellent.

Stayed in September 2022

Shower head was broken, no soap. TV and WiFi not needed but we’re advertised and didn’t work. There was a family group who had taken all the breakfast so nothing really left for us. No service offered from breakfast staff.

The room was quirky and comfortable
