Matera hotels

Pros: Warm welcome, friendly staff, good restaurant, delicious and extensive breakfast, beautiful garden with pool. Plus they also have rooms with a wooden floor! Though it is not located in the centre it is only a 10 minute drive and parking at the hotel is easy.

Cons: Room with carpet and that not everybody from the staff speaks English which makes communication sometimes a challenge. But staff is friendly so you get there in the end.

Pros: Great feeling of the history of the Sassi in the bedrooms which are part cave structure

Cons: The room is very separate from the facilities so that you have to leave the bedroom in order to get to the breakfast room which means going outside into the public pathway. Similarly to get to Reception area. Can be noisy as the public are immediately outside your bedroom door.

Pros: It was interesting to stay (partially) in a cave. The rooms are built into the cliffs. I liked the balcony of the room. The food itself was not spectacular but, in general, it was good.

Cons: Some services were lacking but these can be rectified. There was no information sheet (that is easy to do - write on the computer & print). For example, I was not told that there was a bar which had a library and that we would have a welcome drink. In terms of the dining room, they are trying - but sometimes service is slow (cold capucchino, being served the first course - e.g. pasta before choosing your wine). Again, these problems can easily be rectified. They are trying and do welcome feedback. I am a professor of management and they were grateful for the few suggestions I made.

Pros: The room and the view from the hotel were significant and impressive! Room was clean and staffs were friendly. Breakfast at the hotel restaurtant was rich and gorgeous.

Cons: Nothing.
