The cave room was fantastic. The candlelight dinner prepared by Brunella is highly recommended. ##### Roger Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Disha 8 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is really beautiful and authentic with cave stay . It was an unforgettable experience for us on our anniversary day - they provided us with local wine, and special arrangement in the room with a fruit basket . We absolutely loved everything about the property like rooms with candles, sharing history about the hotel, the location is very central, restaurant in a cave setup was so stunning . We loved the cocktails, light bits there and not to forget a lavish breakfast spread was amazing !! Thank you to the staff for such a nice customer service . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bed9b355-b03a-4101-9794-f5e520caf04a-1765219294595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6d2d38fa-4728-4586-a93d-457271662fa7-1765219295479.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4939def4-54d5-425d-9f64-a858f20dc029-1765219294269.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/934689c2-ee4f-4481-85fd-127097615b9a-1765219295487.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Disha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This property and Matera itself are once in lifetime experiences.

The concept of cave dwelling is preserved while indulging the guest in the sensual experiences of light, taste, and textures in understated luxury. Very unusual, and cannot be copied. ##### Carole Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A special experience! This is an INCREDIBLE hotel...from the initial communication, arranging our ground transportation, being met by Jennifer and given a history of Matera to the stunningly beautiful cave we slept in, this was a perfect place. The breakfast was beautiful and delicious. The setting of Matera is stunning. My only regret is that we only had one night there. I am already trying to plan a return trip. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I wish that I could give 10 stars to Sextantio! The property is stunning, the town is wonderful, the views are breathtaking, and the staff is incredible. If you are visiting Italy, Matera is a must. It is a completely unique ancient city with a history that shows the adaptability of human kind. Take part by staying at Sextantio. ##### Beth Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pedro P 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unique Hotel It is a very special hotel. Very unique you will never stay in such a place with so much history and so well kept. If you’re a bit of a claustrophobic, I would suggest you to take a Palazzo room rather than a cave room. ##### Pedro P Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The most incredible, unique experience We stayed in Le Grotte della Civita #8 It was incredible! It truly is a cultural, restoration project. The caves are cozy, well lit, candles, soaking tub (I miss). Their afternoon Aperitivo is lovely. The breakfast is phenomenal. The staff goes above & beyond to assist you. Definitely recommend parking at their recommended parking area (they will come & collect you & your luggage). Thank you Sara, Paolo, Brunella Emilia, Pasquale.

The staff were all friendly and pleasant to talk with. Our room was very clean and inviting. There were beautiful candles lit in the bedroom and bathroom. A table was set up with fresh fruit and a pitcher of water. Elegant napkins and tableware were provided.

Cave rooms were very well designed with a lot of attention to detail (lights, candles, custom shower gels). Breakfast was one of the best I had recently with a lot of local cheese and fruits instead of banal buffet items. Ricotta was simply amazing. Staff was polite and helpful. I would definitely stay again. The only recommendation I would give is that since each room is unique I would put each room and its images separately instead of room category. ##### Cagdas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful Hotel ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi 22 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stunning hotel and location This is a gorgeous hotel in an excellent location for exploring Matera.
