The location was a short drive from the famous Sassi. After checking out the hotel offered excellent facilities to keep my luggage for a couple of hours while I visited the sights.

Had wanted to visit Matera for many years and it lived up to our expectations. Beautiful historic city and easy to walk around. We had a couple of good meals , one terrible and fine dining experience a massive let down. This can happen in any city just your luck sometimes you can be unlucky.

Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was...
Always depends on your expectations, but our feeling was Matera was definitively worth 1 full day or 2, especially if you hike to the point of view on the other side of the little canyon, and/or visit a few historic monuments. We could not visit the famous trogloditic crypts of the original sin since the touristic site to make the compulsory reservations (1 day in advance) is such an absurd mess.

The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia.
The must see place when traveling to Bari/Apulia. The ancient city is exceptional and definitely worth staying over the night . You easily get lost when walking around (GPS is not very helpful) but it is part of the adventure;) . Be prepared to climb many steps and take your time to enjoy the unique climate of the place.

Matera is a beautiful place with stunning views of the sassi and cave dwellings. There are also some interesting attractions that you can visit to gain a better understanding of how people used to live and what Matera went through before becoming a UNESCO site and the amazing place it is today.
One such attraction is Casa Noha, which is a multimedia demonstration inside a historic stone house. It provides a helpful insight into the history of Matera and the struggles of cave-dwelling life.
Another interesting place to visit is Casa Grotta nei Sassi di Matera, which is not just a cave-dwelling but also a living museum. You can experience what it was like to live in a cave with a straw bed, tiny kitchen, and livestock all within the confines of the cave.
Chiesa Rupestre della Madonna della Croce is a church located on the other side of the Sassi. It offers great views and is definitely worth the drive from Matera.

Beautiful hotel in one of the most spectacular locations in the town. Views from the hotel were stunning, especially from the restaurant/bar upstairs. The family running the place was so kind. I had a bad accident in Matera due to a fall and they went above and beyond to help us during the slightly challenging time - including personally picking us up late at night from the ER because taxi service was not available. A big thanks to Antonella and her mom for the hospitality and kindness.
We stayed two nights in Matera at Fra I Sassi. It was a fantastic hotel in a perfect location in the Sassi. The view from our room’s own terrace was absolutely breathtaking. The room was in a restored cave but modern, beautiful and spotless. The property was peaceful and secure. All the staff were lovely, and breakfast was super. We used the parking and transport service offered by the hotel and it was worth the extra cost. Matera is magical and so is this hotel!
Very nice room, spacious and very clean! Everything in top shape inside the room and Hotel. Valeria is a great host with passion for what she does. She’s very helpful and has great suggestions for food, drinks and sightseeing! Just ask her. Breakfast was super fresh everyday and served directly on a nice terrace next to the Hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely book here again if we come back to Matera!! Thanks for the great stay!
Matera is an amazing, preserved Italian time piece & Maison d'Ax is right in the heart of it. Carved right out of the rock.
The hotel has these two big wood doors that open to a perfect view of the Madonna de Idris (old church carved out of the rocks) and La Gravina caves. Enjoyed a beer watching the sun on the hills after a day of walking the labyrinthine cobbled streets and stairs. Maison d'Ax has a nice little pool. Bring your suit.
All was outstanding. The owners and their very friendly Welcome, the hotel small bulding, the exceptional room (with cave's experience but sitll withblight and windows), the products in the bathrooms, the breakfast (different everyday) served in a lovely terrasse. The locaiton is perfect in the middle of Sassi, the old Matera's town. The owner also have a deliciously restaurant nearbye. A place no to miss in Matera!
The hotel is very well located. Of you want to experience the cave experience in Matera, this is the hotel. we booked the suite as we wanted our stay to be special. it was clean and very well decorated. It felt luxury. We even had a valet brought us our luggage. Breakfast with Michaële in the morning was delicious. They had a variety of savory and sweet food for breakfast.
The hotel is charming and clean, the room inside a renovated cave, very beautiful. Wonderful staff who tried in every to give a good feeling, the best breakfast we ate in Italy ... but the hotel is definitely not suitable for people with knee problems ... we counted 78 steps to go up and down the hotel. It definitely needs to be written, so people know what awaits them.
A sweet little boutique hotel with cave rooms and a stunning view of amazing Matera. Junior suite was very nice and despite being a cave surprisingly light with a spacious bathroom. Catering to your every need is Maria Antonella, the very lovely front desk lady sent from heaven. Good breakfast, good WiFi, we were very happy with this accommodation.
Property is in a very good location, close to the train station and few minutes from the city centre.
Very modern property with the shared kitchen area.
Bed was very comfy with the whitest bed linen I have ever seen in a hotel.
Danilo provided the best customer service.
Would definitely stay again if visit Matera.
Amazing architecture and high quality appointments throughout. Super friendly highly trained staff. Best breakfast in italy by far. Delicious dinner in 5 star restaurant. Attentive and professional owners on site. Panaramic views of the ancient cave dwellings. Situated in the oldest and heighest part of the city.
Fantastic interior design of the top cave suite. Prime location at the foot of the Sassi (old matera). Terrace that would be lovely with warmer weather than we had in late February
The free circular bus stops right outside if you dont want to keep walking up the steep hills!!
This was the best accomodation i stayed at for the 3 months i travelled around Italy , the rooms were 5 star and the location was perfect to visit the old town of Matera. I will definitely be back and confidently recommend this place to all my friends and family.
This is an amazing hotel and one of my favorites in our 3 week trip to Italy. Everything is fantastic! The location is perfect! Our room was large and luxurious. Lovely terrace overlooking the town of Matera. Very helpful staff. Tasty breakfast.
The MOST amazing hotel in Matera. The garden and view from my balcony room was incredible, especially magical at night. Management was very kind and thoughtful. Would return in a second as I didn't have enough time to see all of Matera.
This used to an high school which got converted to a hotel. It's weird and something you don't expect a hotel to look like. The location is great, only 500 meters from the old city of Matera so no parking issues are required.
Gorgeous cave hotel with modern comforts, surrounded by the history of Matera. Tricky to find initially (as all things in Matera can be) but worth it. Great breakfast spread. Also we loved Charlie the hotel doggo!
Matera is a very beautiful place, and the hotel is part of that beauty. Centrally located, and all the charm and character that I had hoped for. Spacious room, quiet, warm and cozy - while bright and airy.
Cozy hotel in the heart of Matera old town. Perfect location. Beautiful rooms. Friendly staff. Tasty breakfast and aperitivo. We loved everything! The wine degustation experience is highly recommended.
A fantastic genuine cave location right in the centre of Matera.
Well designed and looked after and clearly a family who care hugely about their hotel.
Excellent breakfast too
It was really unusual experience! If you visit Matera, it definitely worth staying in a cave hotel so that you can make a complete impression of the town.
