Corte San Pietro

staff were so lovely and helpful, we even got a tour of the underground cisterns! Great property, right on the main road in Matera, close to delicious restaurants. Breakfast was great and it was such a treat to stay in a cave room! Thank you to Anne, Giuseppe, Angela and everyone for a wonderful stay!

From the moment we were greeted at the Reception we were made to feel like very special guests. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, the rooms are really stylish and the little details (eg fresh fruit in the rooms, replenished daily) really appreciated. The reception team made the process of booking our hire car into a secure garage really easy and arranged a shuttle bus. The breakfasts were also delicious, light and elegant - we loved being serenaded by a fabulous pianist during breakfast each morning! The network of ancient cisterns below the hotel are also fascinating. It was my husband's birthday during our stay and the hotel left a bottle of sparkling wine on ice in our room with a handwritten card. It was a really lovely and thoughtful touch. This is a great hotel in a beautiful city.

Everything is just perfect. The room was very spacious and furnished very tastefully. The private rooftop terrace is so lovely and you see over the Sassi. The hotel is smag dab in the middle of the Sassi, walking distance to everything and the hotel helps with everything concerning parking the car and transferring the luggage. They even send me my belt back home (it arrived before I did). The breakfast is by far best I‘ve had on my four week trip. I still dream about it. The staff were super friendly to my dog who loved the room and the rooftop terrace aswell. I highly recommend this place. Worth every cent!

The staff at the hotel were exceptional and provided us with great assistance during our stay. They suggested places to visit, arranged tuk-tuk tours, made dining reservations, and helped us get taxis to and from the hotel. They were proud of their hotel and its facilities, which were well-appointed and spacious. Additionally, each hotel room was unique in its way. The breakfast was also very lovely, with fresh squeezed orange juice, made-to-order eggs, coffee, fresh fruit, sweets, and toast. They also offered aperitivo, if you ask, with savory treats, prosecco, beers, and other drinks.

The room was exquisite: clean, comfortable and delightfully unusual. The room was on a small side street beside the hotel, central to the older district of the town, but quiet as well. The staff went above and beyond to pass on local information and ensure our stay was pleasant. The town of Matera is the cleanest I have seen in Italy and I have been coming for 12 years. The walk to the caves on the other side of the ravine requires some exertion but should not be missed. Nor should a visit to Casa Grotto or the cathedral.
