Amazing property, location, and staff! True 5 star! Highly recommend staying here. We were here with our children age 9 and 10, they were very excited to stay in Cave hotel.
The hotel is a gem in Matera. The rooms are tastefully decorated with all the modern amenities. The breakfast was delicious with high quality ingredients; do try the olive oil as it is exceptional!!! The spa is another level. Throughout our stay the hotel provided service rarely seen nowadays. I applaud the team at Vetera Matera for their exceptional service. Thank you and we will definitely return.
This hotel is part of the Relais & Chateaux group of hotels so it is a luxury property. It is absolutely stunning and worth the price. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with eggs made to order. The restaurant has two tasting menu options. I don’t normally like tasting menus so we ordered à la carte but also received a number of extra dishes. The quality of the food and presentation was exceptional. Don’t miss out on the tasting menu. The rooms are built into the old cave dwellings but have all modern amenities. Finally the outdoor lounge is a great place for a pre-dinner drink. There is a small spa although we did not use it. The staff are all efficient and responsive. Highly recommend for those who are not price-sensitive.
Absolutely stunning property. Rooftop one of the best in Matera. The stuff and service was unparalleled. This is truly five star property and I would most definitely stay there again
It’s a unique property - very beautiful, new, tasteful. But it smelled like sewage … The temperature cannot be regulated inside the cabe - they have to do it from reception area . It was cold.We enjoyed their small sauna. The restaurant was closed.
What an excellent experience. The service spectacular. Rooms so comfy that we slept so well. The spa is worth a try. Francesco and Simone did a great massage.
The service at the bar and breakfast fantastic
This is a beautiful hotel that opened in April 2025. The staff is lovely and accommodating. Very friendly people.
We ordered room service and it was delicious.
One word - amazing!
The hotel overall, location, rooms, staff, courtyard and terrace in front of our room. I want to highlight Rosalba, a lovely young lady at the front desk, very helpful and friendly.
I dream of returning already…
Maravilloso hotel EM TODOS LOS SENTIDOS!!
la habitación, el servicio, el lugar, la vista, el desayuno! Es un hotel que sientes que lo que lagas lo vale.
Ce lieu est tout simplement magique, niché en plein cœur de Matera, il y a eu quasiment 8 années de travaux pour rendre ce lieu si beau, on s’y sent si bien… que dire de la literie, ou encore du SPA magnifique !
Le seul bémol est le petit déjeuner, pas au niveau de l’établissement. Mais l’hôtel n’a que 4 mois, laissons leur le temps de s’améliorer sur ce dernier point ! (Manque de variété, de légumes, de produits locaux, trop buffet basique à mon goût)
