"Beautifully appointed and designed room, excellent location a few feet from major attraction, great breakfast and selection of food items and a very friendly and helpful staff. "
"We had a wonderful stay at La Corte Vetere! The location is stunning and full of character—the view from the property is breathtaking, offering a truly unique experience in the heart of Matera. Claudio was an exceptional host: warm, helpful, and always available whenever we needed anything. The property was clean, comfortable, and full of charm. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Matera!"
"Amazing place! Staff is extremely friendly, Andrea and Lucia are super nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with my eyes closed."
"Great stay, clean, close to everything. Nice room but no windows because they are in a grotta in the old town. Be aware you need to walk from the lobby to the rooms and there are stairs to get there (don’t bring heavy luggage)"
"I have been traveling for 5 months and this hotel was by far my favorite! I was blown away by the attention to detail, the powerful ritual and symposium and the incredible heated pool surrounded by replicas of goddesses. The couples’ massage was wonderful and the staff and experience couldn’t have been better. Mindblowingly great! We loved it! "

After visiting Tramontano Castle, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Matera. Visit the spas in this romantic area, or simply enjoy its local cheese shops.
One of the best places i have been. Great food. Jaw dropping views. If you have an ambulatory handicap, however, go somewhere else. You will fall here. Uneven paving stones. Slippery rocks. Walkways and stairs are tilted down, no hand rails.

There are so many hidden gems in the Sassi. The hike to the caves is difficult, but if you can physically do it, it is a rewarding experience. Very friendly people and the food was terrific.

Driving to Matera please be wary of the LImited Traffic Zone which is severely enforced. It is impossible to drive to the hotel! One has to go to the parking garage suggested by the hotel, but beware it is NOT a suggestion! Stiff fines if you drive

Matera is enchanting. A beautiful town to visit where you are taken back to experience how people lived there centuries ago up until the mid 1950's. It is a vibrant historical town

Aside it being showcased in a James Bond film (No Time to Die), the city is steeped in history and culture that is almost overwhelming in the best possible way.

One of the most unique places I've been. A little out of the way to get to but totally worth it.
"Beautiful property in the heart of an amazing city. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They made a delicious birthday cake for our son and we had a great evening in the restaurant with excellent food and service. One of our rooms did however smell of damp and the door didn’t lock properly, it is a cave but none of the other rooms were like this, it wasn’t pleasant but they happily moved us to another one. Small details could be improved, bathrobes worn thin and room service trays left in the rooms and only collected when repeatedly asked. Otherwise a gorgeous hotel and a lovely stay. "
"Unique Experience in Matera!
A real adventure—sleeping in a beautiful cave room was unforgettable! The breakfast was fantastic, and the people were so kind and friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the design of the room kept the history alive. Plenty of great restaurants around, all within walking distance. We would love to come back again!"
"The total experience was excellent. We were in Room 12 and the view was worth every penny. The staff were very nice and helpful. The coffee and breakfast in the morning were excellent. You must stay here!"
"Andrea & Lucia were attentive, kind and professional. I stayed just one night but they did a great job. Nice breakfast, nice pool and the grounds are both charming and spotless."
"Truly fantastic boutique hotel! Such an amazing find! Highly recommended.
Parking is free and easy to find. The hotel picks you up and takes you into the city.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. On the day of our departure we needed to leave very early and they had a full breakfast ready for us and gave us a ride back to our car with no problem at all.
The location at the edge of the cliff is absolutely stunning and the views are unparalleled.
The rooms themselves are unique and very well appointed. The bathroom in our room needs to be repainted and the loft where the kids slept got very hot. But other than that we can't find a single fault with this lovely spot in a beautiful city!

"This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. If you have difficulty with stairs, you may want to look elsewhere, but if no mobility issues, you must stay here! It’s incredible!"
