Fortino di Sant'Antonio

The EuroStars hotel in Matera is a terrific place to stay. It is a very nice property: very clean, that is quite modern, with spacious rooms, and very well located. An advantage to staying here is that there is a parking lot in the back of the property, where you can easily unload your luggage and park the car for your entire stay in Matera, as you will be able to access all important sites in Matera by walking to them. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants and shops close to the hotel. Furthermore, the hotel staff is terrific. The young lady at the reception desk, who spoke perfect English, in addition to fluent Spanish as well as her native Italian language, was very attentive and provided us with a useful map of Matera and also traced for us the walking route starting from the hotel to all of the sites that we wanted to visit. Although we only had one full day in Matera, I highly recommend to spend two days in Matera to truly enjoy it on a more leisurely pace - as Matera along with Lecce and the old town in Bari are the most interesting locales in southern Italy. (We spent 3 full weeks in touring southern Italy by car.) I also highly recommend this hotel. You will be delighted regarding your stay at this lovely hotel.

One of our favourite hotels when visiting Puglia. The location of this place was fantastic, and is great for getting to and from small town for exploring each day. The hospitality is incredible, as well. We felt taken care of during each moment on this property - from check in to every meal, to pool service and any accommodation needed, the staff was there for any request. Special shoutout to Guiseppe - he was the absolute best!

Excellent place to stay. Good value for money. It is a bit off from Bari and most attractions so renting a car is essential (but that is good idea when exploring Puglia anyway). The room was superb. Very spacious and a powerful AC that can keep it cool during even the hottest summer weather. The private whirlpool on the roof is a nice touch in the evening though we only used it twice. Family room has private room for parents and a separate for kids. Food is good and reasonably priced similar to most nearby restaurants, though it makes sense to plan meals at sites that are visited for convenience and variety. Staff has been very kind and caring. You could tell they took extra steps to make guests feel welcome.
