A unique cave room stay in central Matera location
Matera… what a place!! It’s a wow on every corner and Corte San Pietro was the same. Our superior room was one of the original cave dwellings, updated for a comfortable stay. The only windows were in the door to the room, which opened straight onto the street, but we didn’t mind that at all. Not having a door on the bathroom (just a curtain) was a surprise… but only added to the uniqueness of the stay.
Breakfast was delicious and served to live piano music in a room above the hotel’s old underground cisterns (which made an interesting post-breakfast visit).
All the staff were superb, really trying their best to meet every guest’s needs. Sadly they missed our (2) requests for a missing bath towel to be replaced but no one can be perfect.
Finally the hotel’s recommended parking was perfect. Easy to find well sized and secured and a l transfer service can be arranged by the hotel. Just remember that this is all additional cost though.. €20 per night for the parking and €30 return for the transfer.
Overall we highly recommend a visit to Matera and staying in Corte San Pietro.

Nice cave dwelling
Spectacular proportions very friendly service. For the price we paid, there should have been a free shuttle from the parking to the hotel. Breakfast was skimpy. There was absolutely no protein with breakfast and I left hungry.

Genuine people and considered little extras
Corte San Pietro should be proud of everything they have cosidered and carefully put in place.
Yes, you’re in a cave with lovely surroundings, a perfect location and clean nice sheets but it’s the genuine feel and touches that made this one special.
They had Prosecco in the room for our birthday, and sent a glass of fizz at the restaurant they booked for us. For all everyday there is fruit and water in your room, and their breakfasts are simple and classy tapas fruit cheese and cake. Water for your onward journey. We’re at another ‘5 star hotel’ and the extras just don’t live up to Corte San Pietro.
Giuseppe was so friendly and everyone was, they cared and you can stay in any hotel with as many stars as you can find but you don’t always get this feeling.
Thank you - genuinely

Wonderful Matera Cave Hotel
Superb property with a highly professional and exceptionally helpful and friendly staff and owner. Creative use of the property in a challenging Matera landscape with beautiful use of the natural surroundings. Excellent breakfast and helpful recommendations. First saw the property and met the management team over a decade ago and was treated like returning royalty. A superb place to stay in a wonderous and unique environment. Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel in the Sassi district
Lovely hotel. Authentic sassi lodgings, immaculately renovated and we even had a beautiful view of Matera and the Murgia (and Festa della Bruna fireworks) from our private terrace. Fresh water and fruit every morning, and breakfast was delicious (definitely check out the ancient cistern system underneath, entrance from the breakfast room). It was my birthday one of the days and the hotel was so lovely to treat us to a bottle of spumante and some taralli and snacks. What a lovely gesture! Great staff and service.

Memorable Matera
The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Well located in the historical centre close to some monuments and restaurants. Trouble free access to secure parking outside the restricted area and shuttle service to the hotel all organised with efficiency by the staff. Lovely spacious room. Memorable stay. Highly recommended

This was hands down one of the best hotel stays we've had anywhere. The staff were so friendly, helpful, and had excellent recommendations and history on the town. The room itself was beautiful, modern but classic, comfortable, with excellent views. The breakfast was lovely with a pianist to make the environment great. The hotel is in an area where you can't drive and they made it so simple to park and get transportation to the hotel. We were truly sad to leave and can't wait for our next visit. We would go back to Matera JUST to stay here

My daughter and I stayed here in May 2024. We absolutely loved this property! The property is beautiful and unique! There are underground cisterns to explore. There is a live piano player at breakfast. Breakfast is delicious! Our room was beautiful. It was the first time I ever arrived to my hotel room with a lit candle!! Beautiful!
The property location was perfect for us. It was convienent to park outside of the sassi in a garage and be picked up by shuttle. The hotel is on a great street with restaurant options and a minutes walk to a plaza right at the rim of the “Grand Canyon”.
The staff was absolutely amazing, even the owner’s dog made an appearance at breakfast.
We highly recommend this hotel!!

Corte San Pietro is right in the heart of the Sassi. although you must park outside of Sassi, the hotel communicates with you about parking & recommends a lot ihat you can park in & have a driver pick you up to bring you to the hotel. Once at the hotal everything is within walking distance, with shops, restaurants & historical sights near by. I would highly recommmend this hotel!

Amazing Place to Stay
Matera is an amazing town and Corte San Pietro is equally an amazing place to stay. Staying the cave rooms is a unique experience, unlike anything we have stayed in before. Once you understand the history of the Sassi you will appreciate all the conveniences that have been built into the cave rooms. Service is super friendly and accommodates any request from booking tours to booking restaurants.
