Hotel berhampiran Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo di Province of Matera

Stayed here for 2 nights recently with friends, overall enjoyed my stay, but here are the pros and cons Pros - Excellent location in the heart of matera old town - Lovely authentic breakfast - Beautiful rooms set inside a cave, aesthetically very appealing -The hotel spa is stunning with a beautiful Turkish bath, sauna and pool Cons - The rooms although aesthetically appealing could use some practical features. Bathroom space is lacking, only one towel hook which was inconvenient, and I didn’t love the open plan bathroom aka no bathroom door -The bed was so hard, like sleeping on a concrete slab, hurt my back - the window let light inside and there was also light from the 2 electrical card slots which lit up the room at night. - I had a few issues with my room. The fridge didn’t work, the safe had difficulties, I had to get reception to come and try to work it. The first person couldn’t so I second person had to come to finally fix it. - the iron we borrowed from reception was dodgy, we used it anyway and it burnt a ruined a brand new shirt. For a 5 star hotel this is disappointing.

We arrived by car at this new, modern hotel. We could easily park the car in one of the free parking spaces in the fenced area in front of the impressive building. At the reception we were welcomed by a lady who was top friendly and super professional at the same time. When we checked in, we immediately felt warmly welcome. We were given valuable tips for our stay in the city, and we were also helped to book a table for dinner when seats in the restaurants were scarce because of the weekend. The spacious rooms have a creative design. At the same time, they are very homely. Everything is absolutely clean. The beds are comfortable with pleasant pillows. Air conditioning and rain shower are of course also part of the great equipment. At breakfast, we were equally welcomed by brilliant staff who complemented the rich, high-quality buffet with perfect service. We will be back!

A very good location if you have no mobility issues! We had a room overlooking the Matera ”canyon”. The room was however just under the terrace of the restaurant so rather loud although I had specifically asked for a quiet room. Breakfast was good but service rather disorganised. To go to breakfast there is no lift so it could be an issue for somebody with mobility issues. Same to get into the hotel: the hotel is not accessible by car. However the hotel will send you somebody to help you with luggage and also had given us good advise as where and how to access the parking lot. We did not like the restaurant: the music was way too loud, the food mediocre and the prices high. On the whole, I would rate this hotel as a mixed experience and too expensive for what it offers.

This Masseria is located at about 10 min driving distance from the city center. It’s a convenient location, with supermarkets and gas stations nearby and close to the highway too. The place is great, an old building with lots of history behind that was renovated and converted into a hotel/guest house, with a beautiful outdoor pool and garden. Unfortunately, I found the management very inexperienced - except for Enzo at reception, who went above and beyond our expectations from the day we arrived, offering plenty of good suggestions for places to visit, restaurants and shops and always ready to help and make us feel welcome. The rest of the staff is either very young or does not seem prepared for the task they are up to. They also have a restaurant inside, managed by other owners, where we did not have a good experience at all. We had dinner there one evening. The food options were very limited (and did not reflect that was on the menu), the food was average and the service seemed improvised. When we paid the waiter summed up our bill with a manual calculator and couldn’t even remember the prices of the dishes in the menu (he was looking at a hard copy of it) - something I found hilarious and have never seen before! Also, bad price-quality relation - you can get something much better for better price in Matera. Overall, OK rooms and apar**ents, although not perfectly clean, and OK breakfast too. However, I would not go back to this Masseria as I am sure there are better places in Matera for the same price. A pity considering the beautiful location they have!

The UNAHOTELS MH Matera hotel in Matera, Italy was a stop on our tour but sadly, for only one night. It was the most high end place that we stayed in. It boasts a spa and swimming pool, 132 rooms and is near the Sassi, a Unesco World Heritage site. It is a large place and the room that I received was very large, with wood floors with adequate lighting. A large double bed was provided which was comfortable and not too soft. Coffee and tea service,[a nice selection] laundry service, a safe and a real plus-extra pillows and blankets were all provided. A nice desk and very comfortable desk chair are provided as well. The bathroom was large with adequate towels provided. A problem with the tub/shower is that it is small and there are no decals or a rubber mat provided to prevent slipping or falling,. There is a very small grab bar [see picture] but this is really inadequate but at least it is something. The water pressure, however, is good. The minibar is not stocked but if you want it to be, it can be for an additional 12 euros a day [I think in addition to the cost of what you consume] If not, vending machines are available on floors 1, 3, and 4. WiFI+ The breakfast was comprehensive and there were adequate selections. It was a very comfortable stay and I would recommend and return.

We corresponded by email with Bette about our reservation and stay at Cenbbio Hotel. She responded promptly and in English. Our shuttle car arrived within a few minutes of our phoning from the parking garage Francesco, the driver was very efficient and helpful. We did have to walk down a good number of flights of steps with our luggage. Francesco helped with our bags and went at our pace which made it easier. The hike was well worth it because the hotel and the view are SPECTACULAR. Ivana at reception gave us a very warm welcome. The rooms were unique- beautiful 'caves' with modern amenities and elegant furnishings. The complimentary breakfast was great- pastries, fruits, cured meats, wonderful cheeses and eggs cooked to order. All of the staff greeted us warmly. Mario, the manager was particularly good conversation. He spoke with us in English and Italian. We would love to return to Matera and Cenobbio Hotel!
