Unique room that is definitely a cave, but warm and comfortable. Great breakfast. Lovely hosts.

Stayed in February 2025

It was a little hard to find the first time. But after finding it, it was super easy (just behind Corte San Pietro, on the main street to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso).

Breakfast - the best we had on the whole trip. Home-made panna cotta, stracciatella bruschetta, fresh fruit. Room - it's a cave. Really gorgeous design and warm (we went in winter). We slept so well after a nice soak in the huge tub that we almost missed breakfast. Location - perfect. Right off the main piazza. Loads of shops nearby, but still a little recessed so as to not be noisy. Hosts - Mima and Enzo were so warm and kind. We arrived early, so we took a 10:30am group tour after quickly dropping our bags off. It's easy to get lost when in the Sasso Caveoso area for the first time and I was grateful for Mima escorting us to the tour meeting point. If we ever go back to Matera, we're DEFINITELY staying here again. Big luxury hotels don't have their level of personal touch.

Amazing hospitality from a couple of locals! Everyone should stay in a cave at least once in their life! Wonderful cave room with modern amenities. Incredible breakfast! Great communication from hosts! Very reasonable!

Nothing - it was amazing.

Location, beautiful owners, large and delicious breakfast, very unique cave accommodation, close to everything in the Sassi. Easy to get to from the shuttle bus in the square ( just a minute or two up the road from the piazza). Enzo is also an excellent guide and we loved learning about the history of the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Enzo and his wife Mima are wonderful hosts. Enzo was so helpful with recommendations for dining, transportation and providing some history of Matera. He also assisted us in arranging taxi service on our departure. The breakfast was prepared by Mima and was absolutely delicious! Our cave room was exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Incredible place to stay at, wow wow wow!!! Great location to walk around Matera. The staff was incredibly nice, super attentive to our every need. They helped us set up a guided tour of matera as soon as we arrived. The room was spectacular, super comfy bed and pillows, spacious and beautifully decorated. The experience of staying in a sasso is one you should have, simply unique. This is a very special place. The breakfast is included and it is just amazing!!! best breakfast we had in our entire trip to Italy. The only thing that I found a bit difficult after a day was the smell of humidity, the sassos are naturally very humid. But still, would do it all over again.

Amazing location, right in the heart of matera. Following the hosts recommendation we took the shuttle from the parking garage to the piazza. From there, we did not have to carry our luggage very far at all! The breakfast was crazy in size, variety and flavor. So much delicious local foods!

The humidity of the Cave was a bit uncomfortable, but not much can be done about that as it is a cave. There was a dehumidifier that ran constantly.

Enzo and Family were wonderful hosts! Breakfast was exceptional. The room was very quiet.

Absolutely nothing at all.

Mimma and Enzo were the perfect hosts in an UNESCO area, such an important location of Europe. Clear instructions on where to park and catch a small shuttle to the Sassi of Matera. On our arrival Enzo made us a coffee and explained the highlights of the area. Upon entering our room we were overwhelmed by the attention to detail of the fit out and comfort of the room. Now to Mimmas breakfast. A savoury artisan platter of the region, 10/10. A sweet platter of the region 10/10. A fruit platter of the region 10/10. All with the time to have the ingredients explained. Truely the highest quality breakfast I have had anywhere in the world. Can’t wait to go back.

Everything! From the hospitality to the advice on where to go to the lovely and copious breakfast with delicious ingredients! And the modern facilities in such a place.

Enzo and Mima run a wonderful B&B. The breakfast was the best and most delicious we had throughout our road trip through Italy. The room was spotless and authentic, and perfectly located within the Sassi. The shuttle bus stop from the parking is close, and so are plenty of great restaurants and bars. Both owners where very helpful and made our stay in Matera one we will not forget. I would not hesitate to recommend Al Conveto to anyone heading to Matera.

Beautiful and special B&B. Our whole family fell in love with Matera, Al Convento and the lovely couple running it.

We liked it all. My husband was skeptical and at first glance he loved it. We booked the superior room. I would definitely stay there again

Sleeping in a cave was really fun. The renovation was well done with nice fixtures yet it kept the feeling of a cave which I wanted. Breakfast was overflowing and delicious! The owners are gracious and interesting. Mima met us at the taxi and helped carry our bags up the steps to the apartment. All Matera is steps! Property gets 5 + stars from us.
