    The Relais La Casa di Lucio was born in 2001. It is the result of a great restoration of old cave houses that were trasformed in elegant and comfortable rooms. The Relais is a perfect example of "scattered hotel", where the rooms are surrounded by courtyards, stairs and narrow streets.

    Beautiful hotel in a great location.
    Beautiful hotel with wonderful service. Michael was outstanding with a warm greeting upon arrival, answering our questions, making a great cappuccino, and helping out in general. His breakfast and hospitality was amazing. The rooms were very unique and special. Enjoyed our stay here in Matera. …

    La Casa di Lucio-Lovely Cave Hotel
    I stayed at La Casa di Lucio for 2 weeks while my husband was here for work in Matera. I had the pleasure of being strictly on vacation and spending much time around the hotel and surrounding old city of Matera. It is located in the most gorgeous and cinematic area of old city of Matera and is truly stunning waking up to the sights of the caves and views each morning. Church bells, full moon views, it was truly something to remember. My most favorite part of my days in Matera was waking up and having breakfast with lovely Michele. I don't often (ever) stop and have an hour in the morning to enjoy breakfast and cappuccino. Breakfast was served down the hill a few 100 feet from our room which was great. Most days it was just me and I so enjoyed the quiet time and chats with Michele who was incredibly thoughtful. Fantastic at taking care of his guests, very thoughtful and kind. Peter also was a true gem of an employee. He has a terribly hard job taking peoples heavy luggage up and down the many slippery steps of this old town. I do not envy the work he does, but he always seemed so happy to help! He was always willing to help me no matter how early or late, and I so appreciated it morning and night. He is a wonderfully kind and helpful person, and I found myself quite literally saved by him many times! Thank you, Peter, for everything! Also after staying in the hotel for two weeks I should add, the housekeeping staff run by Brunsella was also all very kind. The lovely woman who cleaned for us everyday was so good to us. Considering we were living with them for 2 entire weeks I was amazed by how they took care of us. All in all, the staff at Casa di Lucio is what I will remember for their warmth and kindness and genuine happiness to help. We were in room 14 which I liked the layout of, because there was a small seating area above the bedroom. I also liked how the hotel is arranged. It was like having our own little apartment right off the old streets of this ancient city. Do note coming here you will need to be prepared for stairs, and slippery old worn down marble. Footwear is key! It should be noted rooms are literally refashioned Caves, they are dark and cavernous, as you may expect staying in a cave. I would have loved if they had additional floor lamps in the bedroom for light and ambiance at night, but we made do. Unfortunatly the beds were very stiff. In the future I think an upgrade on bedding would go a very long way! Also, to be noted our room did not have a shower. Which was absolutely fine for me, but difficult for my husband. In terms of bathrooms I’d say room 14 has a bathtub with a dream of a view! Incredible overlooking the square below. Lastly our favorite meal of many in Matera was most certainly at the hotel’s restaurant, Regia Corte. I cannot suggest another place more than this. Absolutely incredible place to have a meal, the view! Unreal. So very romantic, and the best food we had in Matera. All in all I am very pleased with my time at Casa di Lucio. As I type this church bells are ringing all around me, what a dream!…

    Great hotel in historic Matera. The room (69) was truly unique and lovely. The converted cave to room was an incredible experience. Michele prepared very nice breakfasts and took very good care of us. He was especially kind to us each morning as he prepared our morning breakfast. When he discovered two of us we vegans, he cut fresh cucumbers to complement his fruit and biscuits. I highly recommend staying here. …

    Historical Unique hotel
    La casa di lucio is a unique place to stay in the center of Matera. My partner and I enjoyed the historical qualities of the hotel, neither of us had ever stayed in a restored cave before. The location is excellent as is the staff. We enjoy our breakfast with Michele who spoke to us about his love for the town of Matera. Andrea at the front desk was able to help us with a package we had accidentally left at the parking garage and send it to us at our next hotel in Sorrento. It was great to get such wonderful service during our stay. …

    Unique, historical experience
    Loved staying here, in a restored cave room. Although my room was windowless (it is a cave after all!), it was such a quaint and distinctive place to stay. Not for those with limited mobility due to the cobblestones and stairs, but my room was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was served in another beautifully converted cave. Mikayli was an excellent host and made everyone feel welcome. There was always a wide selection of local foods to choose from, all neatly presented. I would highly recommend staying here for its "architecture" and history.…
