Fantastic place to stay in Matera. When we arrived we were overwhelmed by the view. You could look over Matera directly when stepping out of the door of our room. The room itself was great as well, very new and modern with a spacious bathroom. It was also within the old town so easy to explore the city from there. We would definitely recommend to stay here:) also the staff was easy to communicate with.

Large room with a unique view of the cathedral and Sassi

Everything was great, I wished I had stayed longer!

If you are in Matera, it is most definitely worth it to stay in a cave hotel in the sassi. A truly unique experience. The room was gorgeous, staff welcoming, location wonderful!

The parking not being near the hotel - take a small bag as there is lots of steps.

the room was lovely and the views where amazing.

The large room & especially the view.

lugging cases to the property as there is no vehicular access . Early morning disturbances as staff start work for the day . Room not sound proof against noise from reception area .

unique & in a great location

This is not a place for elderly or families with young children. The rooms of this B&B are spread out and accessed via arduous climbs of many stairs! You have to be strong and fit to manage.

We had a nice modern room with an exceptional view of the cathedral and the Sassi Caveoso. The room was called Air. The location was great and the staff friendly and helpful.

Very difficult to find the hotel from the address. Matera has a lot of stairs and slopes, so reading a map was complicated. Humidity in the room is high (though it is how a room in a cave is).

Great surprise when opened the door of the room - to find a very modern room in a cave. The bath was comfortable. A very friendly staff. Superb view of Matera from the terrace of the breakfast.

The shower

The name of the hotel is 5 Elements of Sassi Matera, and of course by the elements they mean air, water etc. We stayed in the apartment called AIR and the most amazing thing about it was the unbelievable VIEW. This is by far the best view I have ever had staying at hotels. The Sassi was just right in front of us! The flat itself was modern, nicely equipped and furnished, very comfy bed. The shower was a bit of a nightmare - a modern piece of engineering that needed a scientist to figure out where the hot water comes from :). But, the VIEW makes up for it.

We stayed in the Terra room which had a balcony with amazing views of Matera. The accommodation was really spacious. Good value for money!

Cold staff, check in rushed and impersonal. Noisy communal area, we could hear from our room.

Room was cool, great shower and really nice breakfast, location was ideal for restaurants and sight seeing

The location could be better signposted.

The rooms were fantastic

Maybe specify to the ones sleeping in the Fuego room that it would be better to chose the 8 to 9 o clock slot time for the breakfast, as the breakfast and reception is literally on the other side of the rooms door, it is impossible to sleep until 9 anyway...

5 friends travelling together, we were really happy to book 2 diff rooms : very spacious, you get to experience the full sassi experience. Bed was really comfy, shower was incredibly beautiful, with a glass door (when in to the Fuego room, probably better to sleep there with your significant other, but you can still manage to get some privacy otherwise). Location is really good as you can go visit by foot. Parking isnt that bad, as we managed to park in the street neer the hotel, and only had to walk 5 minutes or so. Breakfast was good, served on the terrace (fresh fruits, coffee, cereals, local jams, local pastries..) would def come back when in Matera, great value for the money!

This room was such a stand out experience on our holiday. The cave room with beautiful fitout was somuch more than I was expecting. The bath was an extra bonus. We loved the location as it allowed you to access theparked car easily and close to all the towns attractions.

Ladies, make sure you have sensible shoes and perhaps a pair of trainers. The cobbles are very difficult to walk on in anything other than flat shoes…as I found out :)

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful! They were wonderful! We struggled to find the property but that was because we hadn’t yet understood the layout of the Sassi and how everything is in the windy roads. The hiking through the ravine was a highlight, beautiful restaurants. We enjoyed the spa. It was just a beautiful, relaxing place, hardly touched by tourists.
