Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

10/10 Excellent
"This was an excellent choice. Spa was cool, breakfast great. Central location in the cave area. My only concern was I contacted them through Expedia and got no response. It says to contact about where to park. They never responded. I figured it out with Chat GTP but Hope hotels would check their Expedia in mail. I would recommend this hotel, just know communication through Expedia isn’t happening. Otherwise great, mattress and bedding could be nice for the price of the hotel. "

Which area of Matera is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers looking for cheap hotels in Matera, focusing on areas just outside the historic Sassi districts or the newer "Piano" area can yield excellent value. While staying directly within the ancient Sassi is often pricier due to its unique appeal, the surrounding zones still offer convenient access to the main attractions without the premium cost.

Solo travellers might find good options in the Piano area, which is the more modern part of Matera.

This area also benefits from more modern amenities and better public transport links, making it easy to navigate the city. You'll find local cafes and shops here, providing a glimpse into everyday Materan life.

Couples looking for a romantic yet affordable stay should consider accommodations on the fringes of the Sassi, particularly those overlooking the ancient cave dwellings.

What free activities should we do in Matera?

The city's ancient Sassi districts are the main attraction, and simply wandering through their labyrinthine alleys and staircases is an unforgettable, free experience.

Solo travellers and couples will particularly enjoy exploring the Sassi Barisano and Sassi Caveoso on foot.

Don't miss the chance to climb to various viewpoints (such as those near the Duomo or Piazza Vittorio Veneto) for breathtaking panoramas of the Sassi, especially at sunset when the light paints the caves in warm hues.

Another fantastic free activity is visiting the Rupestrian Churches (Chiese Rupestri). While some larger ones may charge a small entrance fee, many smaller, equally captivating cave churches are freely accessible within the Sassi. These ancient sanctuaries, often adorned with faded frescoes, offer a glimpse into Matera's spiritual past and are great for quiet contemplation.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Matera as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
