I think a renovated cave stay is an amazing opportunity that should be done if visiting Matera and was a good location. We did appreciate getting help with our bags to the taxi on check out. We had previously walked with them from the car park which was difficult so I would definitely recommend this option.

Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was Matera was definitively worth 1 full day or 2, especially if you hike to the point of view on the other side of the little canyon, and/or visit a few historic monuments. We could not visit the famous trogloditic crypts of the original sin since the touristic site to make the compulsory reservations (1 day in advance) is such an absurd mess.

The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia.
The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia. The ancient city is exceptional and definitely worth staying over the night . You easily get lost when walking around (GPS is not very helpful) but it is part of the adventure;) . Be prepared to climb many steps and take your time to enjoy the unique climate of the place.

Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi...
Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi and cave dwellings. There are also some interesting attractions that you can visit to gain a better understanding of how people used to live and what Matera went through before becoming a UNESCO site and the amazing place it is today.
One such attraction is Casa Noha, which is a multimedia demonstration inside a historic stone house. It provides a helpful insight into the history of Matera and the struggles of cave-dwelling life.
Another interesting place to visit is Casa Grotta nei Sassi di Matera, which is not just a cave-dwelling but also a living museum. You can experience what it was like to live in a cave with a straw bed, tiny kitchen, and livestock all within the confines of the cave.
Chiesa Rupestre della Madonna della Croce is a church located on the other side of the Sassi. It offers great views and is definitely worth the drive from Matera.

We had a wonderful time at Matera.
We had a wonderful time at Matera. The people were very friendly even though the season was just about to start and alot of facilities were still closed. We had a great first of the season meal at Enoteca dai Tosi with a tour of the facility. Tasted new wine, delicious meats from the local butcher, local cheeses, and some dishes from the new menu. The town is so beautiful, that you can't take a bad picture. You must prepare for a lot of stairs and walking...have comfortable shoes...
The town was even prettier at night. It was great! We wanted to stay longer and keep exploring....
This is a lovely hotel for a stay in the amazing Matera. We parked our car in a garage in town, based on hotel recommendation, and then were driven to the location. The hotel is quite striking, with the rooms and reception built into the fascinating caves. Our room was very spacious and romantic, with an open bathroom arrangement that we didn't expect = not a huge problem, but be comfortable with your traveling companion! Good location to check out the different parts of Matera.
Very nice room, spacious and very clean! Everything in top shape inside the room and Hotel. Valeria is a great host with passion for what she does. She’s very helpful and has great suggestions for food, drinks and sightseeing! Just ask her. Breakfast was super fresh everyday and served directly on a nice terrace next to the Hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely book here again if we come back to Matera!! Thanks for the great stay!
OMG!!!! We didn’t want to leave. Everything was perfect. The modern design, technology, kitchen utilities, and ambiance were stupendous. I wouldn’t change anything. I’ll be back for sure… and often.
Perfect location.
Eustachio and Benedetta greeted and cared for us like we were family. (He even parallel parked our large rental SUV in a small spot.) They could teach hospitality to the best 5 star luxury hoteliers. It comes natural to them.
Amazing location for exploring both the main tourist bits of Matera and for access to the beautiful hikes in the surrounding countryside. Room was very spacious with fantastic views from the private balcony. All the staff were brilliant, incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. The property is beautiful, combining the stone and "cave" like features that Matera is known for, with the elegance and sophistication of a luxury hotel.
If you go to Matera , stay at Basiliani hotel. It is a wonderful discovery. The view from the room is amazing, the hotel staff is super welcoming and helpfull, the beds are confortable and the situation of the hotel is a little exentrated from the bustle of the city center so you can sit and relax . The breakfast was really good and we sat outside on the terrasse enjoying the quietness and the beautiful view. To summarize: go, go, go...
 this property was beyond exceptional. It had the absolute best for you in Matera, whilst also staying in a cave. it is a family run hotel, and they are all very friendly and helpful, they booked our tour of the city as well as dinner at a local restaurant both at the last minute.  The location in Caveoso is unbeatable and breakfast was also well above expectations for a hotel. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.
Our "cave room" was fantastic, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Great views from our window and from the hotel premises. Also the best breakfast we had in Italy by quite a margin, with everything from newly baked foccacia to fresh fruits. The staff was helpful with informing us on where to walk to see the most of Matera. No luxury hotel, but everything we wanted from a hotel in Matera.
The hotel is very well located. Of you want to experience the cave experience in Matera, this is the hotel. we booked the suite as we wanted our stay to be special. it was clean and very well decorated. It felt luxury. We even had a valet brought us our luggage. Breakfast with Michaële in the morning was delicious. They had a variety of savory and sweet food for breakfast.
This was one of the most gorgeous, thoughtful and unique hotel I've ever stayed in. AMAZING details. Wonderful lighting. Spare but still cozy. Well designed. Staff was helpful and interested. Breakfast was delicious and in another great space. We should have stayed two days - it's that good. And Matera is unlike anything I've ever seen. Don't miss this!!!
This is a must stay hotel. everything was great. the breakfast, the staff, the location...all perfect. the spa is worth the extra fee. Matera really took out breath away. we will be back and will stay here. Cant recommend enough, If you have heavy luggage, call in advance and see if they can send a van for you.
The location was excellent and with a true "cave" feel. Friendly staff, nicely decorated and clean! We even had a gentleman making souvenirs on our doorstep!
Just a warning about steps - no problem for us, but could be difficult if you have heavy luggage. Matera is steps everywhere though, so cannot fault this hotel!
Best breakfast in Italy ever ! Traditional products from Matera , all sorts . Sweets and pies as good as you could desire :)
Impressive Thermae-baths comprising long tunnels with blue/ green-lighted hot water.
Great view in the morning over Matera , you will leave in an ancient cave
The service was very very good including recomendations for english guided tours, restaurants for lunch and dinner.
The hotel was right in rhe middle of the old town so it felt really authentic and a Must to stay a night when visiting Matera
Beautiful hotel in the middle of Sassi di Matera
Cinzia was great helping with every detail, from guided tours to reservations at local restaurants
For breakfast they ha plenty of choices and among those the best cornetto ever !
This used to an high school which got converted to a hotel. It's weird and something you don't expect a hotel to look like. The location is great, only 500 meters from the old city of Matera so no parking issues are required.
The staff was very kind and friendly, and assisted us with booking dinner, tours etc.
The hotel itself is really amazing, built inside caves and with fancy decoration.
Breakfast was the best we had during our trip to Italy.
Very interestingly designed hotel scattered amongst different former "caves".
We had a standard room which was rather small
Small spa area and very limited access
Good breakfast
Very, very helpful staff
Perfectly located; a modern cave hotel very tastefully designed. Breakfast was beyond expectations and the husband and wife team who are the hosts were extremely kind and helpful.
