  Awesome one night experience

  Liked: This was definitely an experience sleeping in a cave on the side of the hill. Breakfast was great. And the shuttle service from the parking garage outside of the old town was totally worth the 40€.

  Disliked: Showering in an open bath was tough, the rest of the floor got very wet. If you’re happy to just have the bath it would be fine

  Perfect and memorable

  Liked: From the moment we arrived at the designated parking spot with easy transfer to the hotel to the welcoming arrival at reception with Pietro was nothing short of amazing. The room was stunning and our degustation 1950 dinner brought us back in time. Everything was impeccable. We loved our stay at Sextantio and Matera. It was memorable and we will never forget it. Thank you

  Disliked: There was absolutely nothing not to like about our stay.
