"This hotel is spectacular. Such an awesome experience. Everyone was incredibly helpful, the location is great. A shuttle drove us from the car park and picked us up. The room was excellent, we were upgraded to a deluxe suite which was amazing. The only comment I have is that there was no door between the toilet and the bed. Thankfully we had this cool little tunnel to a room in the cave with some chairs where one of us would wait if the other needed to ‘go’. I would absolutely stay again the hotel is part of an amazing matera experience"
