O hotel é realmente uma experiência. Se hospedar dentro de uma caverna é algo único. O quarto era bem amplo e confortável, com ótimo chuveiro. Toda a equipe muito atenciosa, gentil e prestativa. Nossa estadia foi incrível. O hotel ficava bem próximo de alguns pontos a se considerar, como mercado.

The room was super clean, the staff were really friendly, and the welcome wine was amazing. We switched room types between the first and second night, and this one had awesome natural light and great heating. Only thing was the water pressure—it was a bit low. Still, I’d totally come back here!

I visited based on a friend’s recommendation and stayed in two different room types over two days. The room conditions, scent, ambiance, and interior design all captured the essence of Matera perfectly. It was even better than a 5-star hotel. The welcome drink was excellent, the reception staff were incredibly kind, and the breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous property, highly recommend. The only thing lacking (a little, not a reason to pass on this beautiful property) - but breakfast is included from 830 to 1030. We got there at 9 and many items were out. No eggs no bacon and some pasties with empty plates.

Il Palazzotto in Matera is an absolute GEM! From the breathtaking cave lobby and dining area to our spacious, beautifully decorated room, every detail was charming and elegant. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a glass of Palazzo Zimara Susumaniello, so exquisite it was unforgettable! Breakfasts were delightful, the boutique rupestrian style combined with modern comforts and the incredible Sassi location, made our stay truly exceptional. Viviana, Irene, and Antonio’s warm, and impeccable hospitality completed a perfect experience. Thank you all!! We will wholeheartedly recommend this magical hotel to friends and family!

A very special place - both the accommodations and the main reception and dining areas. Worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime cave experience. The staff was lovely and really elevated a great stay to exceptional. Antonio, the manager, was brimming with enthusiasm for his city and the hotel, sharing history of both. He recommended the fantastic Osteria al Casale restaurant on the cliffside for dinner which served excellent food and was nicely away from the hordes. Maristella is as sweet as she is adorable. So helpful and gracious. The included breakfast was ample and there was quite a variety, from savory options to pastries. The dining room is stunning. Loved it! We stayed in the family apartment which exceeded expectations. The main room is spacious even with sofa bed opened. There is a separate sitting area with another sofa and coffee table which was very useful. The sofa bed was comfortable and big enough for two teens to fit comfortably. The master bedroom was roomy and the bed super comfortable. It was only missing a full length mirror. Adding a barn door on the master bedroom to provide privacy from kids staying in the main area would be a bonus. There is also a kitchenette with refrigerator in the apartment. The bathroom is modern and functional. The shower is small so I shared with the manager that a shelf is needed to hold shampoo/soap. This is really the only critique on an otherwise magical place. Highly recommend.
