We had a brilliant welcome by the staff who couldn't have been more helpful in explaining where to park, best route to see the sights and good restaurants. Lovely breakfast too.
We opted for the "comfort" room and had an extremely spacious cave room. couldn't have been better

Martino has created a wonderful comfortable home to go with the beautiful view. Ideally located for the town. Martino makes sure your stay is perfect, giving map plans and even taking consideration of my wife’s disability in his effort. An absolute pleasure, many thanks.

We had a lovely stay at the Cenobio Hotel. It is in an old convent and the architecture is beautiful. We had room 6 which was comprised 2 sleeping areas, with wonderful arched ceilings and built from the original stone. We had a large terrace outside with an incredible view over the gorge.
To get to the hotel, we parked in a car park reserved by the hotel. The hotel then booked us a taxi to collect us from the car park and bring us to the Piazza Duomo which is as near to the hotel as you...

Fantastic experience from the get go. Communication, hospitality & excellent concierge. All delivered in a friendly & knowledgeable way by Simona. The accommodation was stunning & flawless & presented in such a way that complemented the beautiful city of Matera perfectly. Highly recommended!

The entire experience was great. Great hospitality, superb cave bedroom, excellent breakfast selection, complimentary bottle of local wine, even a good restaurant right next door (unrelated to the hotel). No car parking at all but for €15 a valet service picks up the car, parks it away from the restricted zone and brings it back at 15 minutes' notice. Highly recommended.

Brilliant stay, we loved every moment!

Where do I start? I have too many amazing things to say about this 'hotel'
We arrived around 10pm and were given a tour and told the history of the caves and this hotel they must've been waiting for us to arrive but we were not rushed at all! Given a free upgrade to our room which was just phenomenal! So cosy and warm and everything so intimately designed to keep the cave 'genuine' it was so beautiful we could've stayed in the cave all weekend and not gone outside!
Breakfast was lovely and all...
