Be warned as they are true caves, there is little to no ventilation though it creates perfect sleeping temperatures as you don't have the sun baking in your windows. We absolutely cannot wait to stay here again! ##### Anastasia Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stunning property. Breakfast in the cave was a unique experience. Our room was perfect. The location in the center of Matera enabled us to walk the whole city. And what a city. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Thomas ### 10/10 Excellent #### lourdes May 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent property and location. The experience of the cave room was different and fun. The hotel coordinated with a parking garage our car and even used it in the middle of our stay drive to Gravina and Albarobello. Matera is beautiful and has great restaurants (we recommend Austin in front of Agustine church). ##### lourdes Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Hoy May 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Absolutely one of our most unique travel experiences ever right in the middle of a world UNESCO site. The property was stunning and staying in an actual cave was a real experience. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, the breakfasts were amazing, and when we arrived we were greeted with a glass of wine to welcome us. We would highly recommend! ##### Lisa Hoy Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose Marie May 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent choice.

We stayed in the family room / cave which was great for three of us … a short stroll to breakfast and right in the heart of Matera . The glass of wine on arrival was wonderful ( we ended up buying bottles to take with us ). The walk into the canyon / over the swing bridge and up the other side was steep but worth the view . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D41C6B524FC10987F18302FD5612E75C7F03C4371715877587977.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DDACD2F27587F4CFB47F8DC0E748F534BB6B179A1715877585169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2123558E59C04B2E4C1A109CA1146938B0BE62711715877593682.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautifully stylish and unique one of a kind room Beautifully stylish and unique rooms from the converted caves of Matera.

It is really a superb hotel. In Matera to be able to sleep in a room "cave" is quite special. The room #5 is large and had everything we needed except a big mirror. The only one was a small square one in the open bathroom above the lavabo and the lighthening was more romantic then useful there! I know it is not the same in every room as every room has a special design and decoration. The reception and the breakfast room are also beautiful. We loved the big terrasse where we could enjoy the sun and a drink at the end of the afternoon. Well situated in the city center. A place to discover! ##### J Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn Jun 6, 2024 We loved our stay in Matera and so glad I chose II Palazotto as our home for 2 nights. The room was amazing, was a wonderful experience sleeping in a cave! Beautifully designed and had everything you needed. Breakfast was great and met some other lovely guests during our stay. Staff were friendly and the wine was very good. Enjoyed a dinner at their restaurant which is situated at the other side of town. There is only a few steps up to the accomodation from the street. We travelled to Matera by car and left it at car park about 6km away and they have a shuttle service that drops and picks you up from the door which was super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend a stay here and especially a visit to Matera it was a WOW for us! ##### Robyn Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Oct 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr aufmerksames Personal, sehr gute Lage ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Historic place.

Worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime cave experience. The staff was lovely and really elevated a great stay to exceptional. Antonio, the manager, was brimming with enthusiasm for his city and the hotel, sharing history of both. He recommended the fantastic Osteria al Casale restaurant on the cliffside for dinner which served excellent food and was nicely away from the hordes. Maristella is as sweet as she is adorable. So helpful and gracious. The included breakfast was ample and there was quite a variety, from savory options to pastries. The dining room is stunning. Loved it! We stayed in the family apartment which exceeded expectations. The main room is spacious even with sofa bed opened. There is a separate sitting area with another sofa and coffee table which was very useful. The sofa bed was comfortable and big enough for two teens to fit comfortably. The master bedroom was roomy and the bed super comfortable. It was only missing a full length mirror. Adding a barn door on the master bedroom to provide privacy from kids staying in the main area would be a bonus. There is also a kitchenette with refrigerator in the apartment. The bathroom is modern and functional. The shower is small so I shared with the manager that a shelf is needed to hold shampoo/soap. This is really the only critique on an otherwise magical place. Highly recommend. ##### sara Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d32-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Wyndham Garden Anchorage Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Anchorage-Hotels-Wyndham-Garden-Anchorage-Airport.h327867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aquatio Cave Luxury Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Matera-Hotels-Aquatio-Cave-Luxury-Hotel-SPA.h22331703.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Fairmont-Tremblant.h64708.Hotel-Information) > > [Freehand Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Freehand-Chicago.h9418281.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Waterton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterton-Park-Hotels.d181753.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Merritt Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Merritt-Hotel.h18989275.Hotel-Information) > > [Trump International Hotel Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Trump-International-Hotel-Las-Vegas.h1857289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita](https://www.expedia.ca/Matera-Hotels-Sextantio-Le-Grotte-Della-Civita.h3694295.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Rochester (ROC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/roc/yyz/rochester-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Corpus Christi (CRP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/crp/edmonton-to-corpus-christi) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dub/yvr/dublin-to-vancouver) > > [flights from stewart airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/zst/flights-from-stewart-airport) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Powell River (YPW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ypw/vancouver-to-powell-river) > > [Flights from Pittsburgh (PIT) to Buffalo (BUF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pit/buf/pittsburgh-to-buffalo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Timehri (GEO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/geo/new-york-to-georgetown) ### Cars > [Sixt Car Rentals In Orlando Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Sixt-Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573-c35.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Oakville](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Oakville.d9236.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Angel of Independence Monument](https://www.expedia.ca/Angel-Of-Independence-Monument-Reforma.d501737.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mission San Juan Capistrano](https://www.expedia.ca/Mission-San-Juan-Capistrano-San-Juan-Capistrano.d6066049.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Iceland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Iceland.d79.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [New Zealand Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Zealand.d133.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) ### General > [Visit Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal.dx147) > > [Visit St. Jerome](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Jerome.dx7077)
