"Room was clean. Breakfast was bountiful except if they claim to use Canadian maple syrup it should be the real thing not corn syrup. Parking on site but you need to pay which was fine. I’d stay there again."

Martino has created a wonderful comfortable home to go with the beautiful view. Ideally located for the town. Martino makes sure your stay is perfect, giving map plans and even taking consideration of my wife’s disability in his effort. An absolute pleasure, many thanks.

We had a lovely stay at the Cenobio Hotel. It is in an old convent and the architecture is beautiful. We had room 6 which was comprised 2 sleeping areas, with wonderful arched ceilings and built from the original stone. We had a large terrace outside with an incredible view over the gorge.
To get to the hotel, we parked in a car park reserved by the hotel. The hotel then booked us a taxi to collect us from the car park and bring us to the Piazza Duomo which is as near to the hotel as you...

We had a brilliant welcome by the staff who couldn't have been more helpful in explaining where to park, best route to see the sights and good restaurants. Lovely breakfast too.
We opted for the "comfort" room and had an extremely spacious cave room. couldn't have been better

Where do I start? I have too many amazing things to say about this 'hotel'
We arrived around 10pm and were given a tour and told the history of the caves and this hotel they must've been waiting for us to arrive but we were not rushed at all! Given a free upgrade to our room which was just phenomenal! So cosy and warm and everything so intimately designed to keep the cave 'genuine' it was so beautiful we could've stayed in the cave all weekend and not gone outside!
Breakfast was lovely and all...

Gorgeous hotel, restored thoughtfully in Matera tradition. Staff were very helpful and communication prior to our visit was great. Restaurants were recommended and booked for us and trips arranged.

Amazing location in the heart of Matera. Simple but nice breakfast. Our room was quiet and comfortable bed and pillows. Great shower with mood lighting!

The entire experience was great. Great hospitality, superb cave bedroom, excellent breakfast selection, complimentary bottle of local wine, even a good restaurant right next door (unrelated to the hotel). No car parking at all but for €15 a valet service picks up the car, parks it away from the restricted zone and brings it back at 15 minutes' notice. Highly recommended.

We went for a romantic weekend, weather as 22 c Dry , materia was clean, the hotel staff especially in the restaurant were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us , we would recommend staying half board, food was fantastic, the room was clean , the only negative ( no English channels) so we couldn’t watch anything while getting ready for dinner! But again overall it was brilliant well done!!!

The Palazzo Gattini is very centrally located and close to the cathedral. The view from the roof terrace is stunning! Breakfast was very good indeed, particularly the fresh orange juice and eggs cooked to order. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although we didn't eat dinner in the hotel (preferring to experience what Matera had to offer), I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a short luxury break.
