Probably the best place to stay in Matera

Really nice, welcoming place. Very well-located for the centre of Matera (a short walk), free parking - probably *the* best hotel to stay in when visiting Matera. Loses 'full marks' since the air-conditioning (clima) appeared ineffective, and the shower was very difficult to use without getting water all over the rest of the bathroom.

Un hotel con gente amable pero incomodo

La habitación demasiado pequeña y la internet inexistente. Estuvimos un solo día de paso para conocer I Sassi pero de haber reservado por mas días hubiera sido muy incómodo estar sin internet, lejos del centro y en un ambiente tan estrecho

Un piccolo paradiso in una città magica

Piccolo hotel situato in zona tranquilla e silenziosa, dalla quale in 5 minuti a piedi si raggiunge il centro di Matera. L'ambiente è riservato e la qualità del servizio offerto eccellente. All'arrivo ci sono state fornite tutte le informazioni dettagliate per la visita alla città. La camera e gli spazi comuni sono molto puliti e ben tenuti; gradevole e ben curato il giardino con gazebo. Per tutti questi motivi ci torneremo sicuramente.

Lovely hotel, sadly when I wanted a swim the pool hadn't been clean for a while so had quite a few dead insects in it. I didn't go in. The rest of it was lovely.

Matera è una meraviglia

Due giorni a Matera, hotel accogliente e particolare. Un po' distante dai sassi e dal centro ma non è un problema se si cammina volentieri. Colazione basica.

Fabulous choice to visit Matera

We primarily chose Relais Ridola for easy access to Matera. We visited Matera 3 years ago and stayed further out of town. Parking can be a nightmare and why waste your day worrying about that?!! Not only were we made to feel welcome but the warmth of hospitality from every member of staff continued throughout our stay. Clean. Air conditioned (35 deg outdide). Good Italian style buffet breakfast. Welcome swimming pool. Well worth it!

Nice,comfortable

Hotels staff spoke passable to good English, The lobby was "efficient"; the breakfast area was plastic tables in the lobby. The breakfast was OK--no frittatas. The room was adequate size. The airconditioning was in the floor. On a hot day the lack of fan circulation was noticeable. There was plastic or rubber mattress cover that made sleeping hot. The location is on a street with apartment buildings. The parking is easy and is secured at night. It is only about 600 meters from the piazza,but it is a steep climb up and down. There is almost no parking near the piazza.l

Okay before a visit to Matera

Staff were good, but it was more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. Its part of a house, converted some years back, and on the edge of a housing estate. It is easy to walk into Matera but out of season (Sept) think I should have tried for central. Beds and linen were great, but breakfast was poor, not good value overall. However, if you want to park easily without hassle I would recommend.

Great hotel: room, pool, and service all very good

This is a great hotel - we really enjoyed our stay. Our room had character as well as being very clean and comfortable. The grounds are very nice, particularly the pool. The service was great throughout - very helpful staff who made us very welcome. The only (very slight) downside is the location - it was a 15 min walk into town but for this you get peace and quiet. Highly recommended.

A conveniient hotel for parking the car with lovely garden and extremely clean pool.. Rooms are to a good standard and the breakfast also good. Management is friendly but you will need some Italian language skills if you are to get the most out of your stay here.
