Location was amazing with some of the best views of Matera. One can just enjoy from the comfort of the room in the private balcony or with just windows open. While we had to carry the luggage down to the property, proper research would have suggested the public transport that we could have been used to minimize the hassle. Breakfast here was excellent with so many choices, including some fresh food. Their offer to store luggage after checkout is a good option to avail.

A Magical and Romantic Cave Hotel Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at Frai i Sassi in Matera was absolutely unforgettable! Staying in a beautifully restored cave hotel was a once-in-a-lifetime experience—truly unique, romantic, and steeped in history. The blend of rustic charm and modern comfort made our visit incredibly special. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was warm, attentive, and eager to ensure we had the perfect stay. Their recommendations for exploring Matera were fantastic, making our experience even more enriching. Breakfast was simply superb! Each morning, we enjoyed a delightful selection of fresh pastries, local cheeses, and perfectly brewed coffee while taking in the breathtaking views of the Sassi. It was the perfect way to start our day in this magical city. If you're looking for a truly unique and memorable stay in Matera, Frai i Sassi is the perfect choice. The combination of history, romance, and top-notch hospitality made our trip absolutely perfect. We can't wait to return! ❤️ Thanks from Dr. Jose G and Ida from the USA
