We had a wonderful time at La Suite. It was a last minute switch from a luxury hotel too far out of town. We were so lucky to have found la Suite. It was a great location just off the pedestrian area, easy to walk anywhere, the Sassi entry points and the many good restaurants in Matera. Particularly handy in the recurrent rain we faced. The staff were very friendly and helpful in suggesting restaurants etc. Its a great base in Matera. Only hiccup was a bit slow breakfast on the last day when they didn't have many guests and everyhing had to be pre-ordered and a slight miscommunication on the laundry - it showed up finally. All in all a lovely place.
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.
The hotel was recommended to us by friends. Unfortunately, in our travel plan, we planned for Matera 1 night. The whole of Matera and the hotel are unique. Friendly, helpful staff, from the parking lot in the center of the hotel. Everything was great. The rooms are super neat and the beds are comfortable. We would definitely come again
An outstanding experience from start to finish! The room was not only spacious and spotless but also designed with comfort in mind, making it the perfect place to unwind. The facilities were modern, high-quality, and well-maintained, exceeding all expectations. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to our needs, always going the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. The location was also ideal, adding to the overall convenience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
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!
If you like unique and an unforgettable experience, this is the place for you. I truly felt like I was in a movie. This isn't a ”bells and whistles” place; this is stepping back in time and experiencing life sleeping in a very beautiful, immaculate and stylish cave. Basiliani is a cave hotel with all the amenities of modern day, yet entrenched in the history of a world where people actually lived in caves until the mid 1950s. What a true archeological treasure. Matera is beyond belief in its beauty and history. I was awe struck by its views, especially when lit up at night, and this hotel fit beautifully into the scenery. The beds were extremely comfortable, shower had great water pressure which I couldn't quite even understand how possible amongst the rocky landscape, and the air conditioner kept everything super comfortable. The included breakfast was delicious and had something for everyone, including vegetarians. Most of all, I have to say how lucky Basiliani Hotel is to have Roberto working with them. He is a true treasure, and one of the most kindest and caring people I have come across in a long time. Nothing was beyond him, and he genuinely wanted us to have the most enjoyable stay. I would go back in a heartbeat. What a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommend.
The stay was fantastic, the location is excellent. The hospitality was amazing and the rooms was very clean and the team was available all day long if you need something. Also they can help you with tours, restaurants and everything that you can imagine. I strongly recommend you to visit it if you are wondering for staying there.
The location and view are amazing. Matera is a very challenging place to park, but we got great advanced information and a very convenient shuttle. The cave room (#4) is perfection. It is large and comfortable with a front patio area that contains a small table and chairs to admire the incredible view.
The service we received from Eleonora at Casa Diva was faultless. She was very helpful and provided us with lots of information about Matera (where to park, eat, what to see etc.). As for the property…..Simply stunning! The reception and dining rooms are beautifully decorated. When we entered our cave (the uva suite) it was beyond amazing. Imagine Fred Flintstone won the lottery. Carved out of the rock, the huge room has high ceilings, tasteful decor, two comfortable double beds (in separate areas), and fabulous clean and modern bathroom. There’s even a mini ‘en-suite’ cave with a Jucuzzi bath. Another door leads to a large characterful terrace (shared with one other suite). The town of Matera should be on every bucket list, and is as friendly as it is unique. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend a stay at Casa Diva.
OK, you need to walk a bit to reach it, as the car needs to stay a fee hundred meters away. But then….you are right in the heart of this magic old town. The rooms are different building and each is unique in its way. In very old walls, but with all modern amenities and comfort, and very clean. The breakfast room feels like being in a cave, and very cute and nice. We were impressed by the warm welcome and the friendliness of the staff. They will give you tailored suggestions on what to visit in which order depending on the amount of time you have, pulse some background stories. It feels like you are staying with friends.
Doppi cuscini molto morbidi, ciabatte, stanza pulitissima. A disposizione cialde caffè e tè, acqua nel frigo, biscotti. Senza alcuna restrizione sull'orario di rientro in completa autonomia. Ottimi consigli dove mangiare e come spostarsi. Consigliato vivamente. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, un grazie particolare a Rossella
Siamo arrivati a Matera di domenica mattina e avremmo avuto seri problemi a posteggiare l'auto se il gestore del B&B e sua moglie non si fossero attivati per darci modo di lasciarla in uno spazio autorizzato e vicino alla struttura. La stanza era pulita e confortevole, il bagno completo di tutto il necessario. La posizione del B&B è tra le più vicine alla zona storica della città e abbiamo avuto modo di gustare la nostra visita concedendoci anche una breve pausa prima di cena per poter poi ammirare lo spettacolo dei Sassi illuminati . A colazione c'era ampia scelta sia di prodotti dolci che salati. Insomma un'esperienza più che soddisfacente.
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 apartments, 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!
