Grottole Hotels

Beautiful room carved out of the tufi stones, with a view out over the sassi. Hotel was well-integrated into the sassi neighborhood overall. Liked the indoor pool (where I could do laps, as no one else was there- it was longer than was clear in the picture). Friendly, kind staff. Matera was easily one of the most remarkable towns we have stayed in in Italy. Breakfast was served in an interesting room but could have been more creative. Very difficult to find the hotel via a GPS. I suspect the hotel's directions were more straightforward. There were only 2 ways into the sassi area by car, and you could only park briefly near the hotel, though the walk to the free car parks was not bad.

Unique rooms and thermal pool. My room was comfortable, quiet, and surprisingly spacious. Good location for visiting both the sassi and the city. Hotel offers a pick-up and delivery service for your car (and it gets parked in a secure garage), worth the small fee since driving around is not so easy. Breakfast room too small and crowded. This could be avoided by putting a couple of tables in the large room next to it. All tables were already full at 8:15.

the rooms are well eqiped, clean and maintained. the staff is friendly and willind to help. it is not a walking distance from the center.

The staff were very accomodating and friendly. Breakfast very good. The room (n. 5) was very characteristic: built directly in the rock (for this reason very charming but just a little bit damp), large and just like new.

It was really fun to stay on the side of the hill in the heart of the sassi. The room was clean and the view from our front door was amazing. The room was a little sparse. It would have been nice to have a chair to sit in inside our room. Small inconvenience.

very clean, attentive staff, nice breakfast, free parking hard to find

Really cute room with a view.

We got lost even with a GPS but the lady working the desk came and got us and showed us the way to the Hotel. Incredible act of kindness. Only thing I thought was that the room I stayed in upstairs was not so soundproof. Also, if you are on the side of the road, with the windows open it can be a little loud. Would like to go again and get a room away from the road and get to use the pool, looks wonderfu.

all, excellent design, unique location and environment restaurant is not cheap

Interesting, excellent standard of accommodation, great setting and area. 2 power cuts which we had to tell the hotel about rather than them telling us.

Location, uniqueness of design, high level of service

Parking facility with a hotel relatively close to the city centre facilities. Very comfortable and welcoming. In hotel during peak weeks in August and some facilities, such as the evening restaurant, "not available for the Ferragosto period"

I liked the location, in the heart of the sassi and the staff was extremely helpful. I also had a wonderful experience, thanks in part to the hotel. They ordered a taxi to take me to the bus stop in Villa Longhi for the bus to Naples. cosimo torraco, the driver, didn't want to leave me alone at the bus stop which was deserted and waited an entire half hour with me to be sure I wasn't stranded in a suburb with no phone or help. Then he refused a tip! (He didn't speak English and I don't speak Italian.) His concern was very touching. I thought the bed was unnecessarily narrow and high. There was room for a larger single bed and this was the one thing that could be improved. The bed was like a hospital bed and I felt I might fall off it. That was my only complaint about this wonderful stay.
