"Brilliant hotel has everything needed, unfortunately they was doing works on bottom floor but can only imagine how beautiful it will look when done. Reception staff could be a little more friendly as I did ask a question one morning about getting to a town and had eyes rolled at me. But overall clean and nice hotel definitely want to return."

"Amazing place Matera, took my breath away when we arrived. Taxi from bus station took us direct to hotel main reception, which was great as we were carrying our luggage in rucksacks. Niomi was our taxi, very friendly and helpful. Hotel great, emailed ahead and booked the spa facilities £25 for 1.5hrs. Steam room, underground cave pool, Sauna, jacuzzi. Robes and swimming caps provide as part of cost. Helpful friendly staff, Great location of hotel, restaurants close by for evening meals. Room was amazing carved into the rocks. Good breakfast, everything you needed boiled eggs, toast, coffee cakes, yoghurt, fruit, cereals etc."

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing cave room in fabulous location. Lovely, charming and helpful staff, happy to provide tips on food, tours and walks - and a good choice of breakfast. There is an assortment of goodies left in the room for purchase (wine etc), which is very welcoming but a little confusing if you don’t initially realise they aren’t complimentary. And amongst the bonanza it would have been a nice touch and very helpful to have a bottle or two of COMPLIMENTARY water (it may have been there and we may have missed it amongst the treats). The only other slight oddity of the hotel is how reception closes between 12.30pm and 3pm, so if they are kind enough to look after your small bags after check out, be sure to know you need to pick up before they close or after 3pm. There doesn’t seem to be a luggage room so not sure they would even allow bigger bags, like suitcases, so worth checking ahead. We loved the hotel, its position and loved our cave night and slept very well. They also so kindly gifted us a freshly baked loaf of bread when we left. Perfect spot for a perfect couple of days in Matera, in an unforgettable room. Thank you"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sasso Barisano?
The best area to stay in Sasso Barisano is within the Sassi itself, particularly around the Rupestrian Churches and the Gravina canyon.This area is the heart of Matera's historic cave dwellings, offering a unique opportunity to stay in a renovated cave hotel. The main thoroughfare, Via Bruno Buozzi, winds through the district, connecting many of the key sites and providing access to various restaurants and artisan shops. The layout is a fascinating labyrinth of stairs, alleys, and small squares, with stunning views of the ancient city and the Gravina canyon at every turn.For couples, staying in this area offers a truly romantic and distinctive experience. The unique architecture and the quiet evenings create a memorable setting. Many hotels here offer rooms carved directly into the rock, often with private balconies overlooking the Sassi, great for enjoying a sunrise or sunset together.Travellers seeking a luxurious and unique stay will find the Sasso Barisano exceptional. The high-end cave hotels often feature bespoke furnishings, excellent dining experiences, and sometimes even private plunge pools or terraces with panoramic views.
When is the best time to go to Sasso Barisano?
The best time to visit Sasso Barisano is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October).During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for exploring the Sassi (ancient cave dwellings) and the narrow, winding streets without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience when visiting attractions like the Rupestrian Churches or the Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario. The natural light during these periods is also excellent for photography, highlighting the unique architecture.Couples often appreciate these times for a romantic getaway. The cooler evenings are superb for enjoying an al fresco dinner at one of the many restaurants carved into the rock, with views over the illuminated Sassi. The less crowded streets also make for more intimate strolls and easier access to popular viewpoints.Solo travellers will also find the shoulder seasons appealing. The comfortable temperatures allow for extensive exploration on foot, and the slightly reduced tourist numbers mean a more peaceful visit to museums and historical sites.
