We had a wonderful stay at L'Hotel in Pietra. This boutique hotel is a restored stone church that has all the modern amenities you enjoy, but also maintains the ambience and experience of staying in the sassi. It was definitely one of the most interesting, yet beautiful hotels we have stayed in. I highly recommend booking the Suite - it... More

I stayed at this hotel in for one night in July of 2012 and can't say enough positive things about the experience. The hotel is located in the old Sassi area of Matera and is partially built into the soft tufa rock. The reception/breakfast area is part of an old church and is absolutely spectacular and the staff were helpful... More

Very interesting hotel, and not too expensive. If you are visiting the Sassi, you might as well stay in one of the dwellings (the deluxe version that is). Good breakfast as well. If you stay for longer, or think you might spend more time in your room than just to sleep, you may want to choose one of the larger... More

My wife and I stayed here in Jan 2013 and I can honestly say that it was one of our favourite experiences. We loved the design of the hotel and the location was fantastic - walking distance from Sassi and the new town. The staff were more than willing to help out in any way possible from booking you into... More

As we descended the stairs to find our cave bathroom outfitted in the most modern of fixtures, then deeper to a second room where the bed frame was left without bedding (as there was only the two of us), and even deeper to what I called my...

The hotel was amazing. Not only was the location in the Sassi unusual, each room was unique. The decor was elegant but understated, it felt welcoming and intimate. Our host and his staff could not be more helpful, nothing seemed to much problem. I loved the breakfast, a selection of local savouries, pastries, yoghurt, fresh fruit and, if you must,... More

We spent two nights in Suite 1003 - with a charming balcony a tight clamber up a ramp. The hotel is in the middle of the sassi, so be prepared to park and walk through the maze of stony steps and lanes. A very tastefully done restoration of a building which was originally a thirteenth century chapel. Breakfast is standard... More

L'Hotel was a great little spot, very chic and comfortable. They had a nice common area to sit and read, check e-mail ect.. We were in a standard room so not so big or well lit for reading and such. It is located in a remarkable community in central southern Italy. It was very unique area to visit and to... More
