Perfection in a cave!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Oct 2024
Hotel's Favourite
Every aspect of this hotel was perfect! The location is close everything. The staff, especially Gianluca,went above and beyond! He had so many stories about how the family started the hotel. Lots of information about the olive mill that on of our rooms was attached to. Can't forget the wonderful breakfast/lunch offering set out daily!
Date of stay: October 2024
Room Tip: Book a tuk tuk tour your first day to get an overview of the Sassi, we did 6pm so we could see...

This is not a room, it is a spacious apartment: room, sitting room, dining room (a table with all kinds of food for breakfast!) a friut basket, etc. A fully equipped kitchen, a refrigerator with food of all kinds. Several options of coffee and tea. The location is incredible. We were offered a private (unforgettable) visit to the San Giorgio stassi.
In short, everything was way beyond what we expected. Truly, a dream!

Room tip: Leave the car outside!

Dear Fabio,
thank you again for being our guest and for your very flattering review. I am very happy that you had a good time in the Gattoni Suite and that you enjoyed the breakfast in your room. I know well that the one to come to Italy was a long journey but I really hope that if one day you come back, you will be our guest again.

Best regards

Alessandra

Our trip to Matera was all too short; but we will remember and cherish it forever due in a large part to the hospitality and friendliness of the staff at Hotel San Giorgio. From the time we arrived, we were treated like family. Our mini suite was beautiful and well equipped. The suite was clean and comfortable. The furnishings were lovely and it was clear that a lot of effort, time and expense; in short, heart and soul, were put into making Hotel San Giorgio a warm and welcoming place. Matera is beautiful - a very special place with very special people, several of whom we were fortunate to meet at Hotel San Giorgio. Book
here - you will not be disappointed.

Dear Mary,
I really can't find words to thank you: what you said about our hotel, your suite, and the staff literally moved me. It is true, we have put our heart and soul into restoring each of the suites, one at a time, and bringing this widespread hotel to life. But we know that there are always small improvements to be made, and words like yours are a vital incentive to continue on this path. I really hope that one day or another we will meet again.

Best regards from all the staff
Valerio, Gianluca, Benny e Alessandra

For the price, we had a great room. Clean, comfortable and actually beautiful. The hotel registration is actually about a 6 minute walk from the room we stayed at, but the people were always readily available. It’s about halfway from the top of the town to the bottom, so there will be some climbing involved, but it is located in a secluded street, so we didn’t have to deal with many people. There is a fantastic restaurant (Lucany) almost next door. I will definitely stay here again if life brings me back to Matera.

Room tip: Parking in Matera is an issue. We parked at a free lot outside the Sassi area which was a 20 minute walk from door to car.

We stayed in a Junior Suite, Vicinato, for 3 nights, an absolutely wonderful experience. It was spacious, clean, bright and comfortable. Well positioned to get to all the restaurants, not too far up or down for a senior couple in their 70s. Dragging wheeled suitcases would be a challenge on the cobble stones. We especially appreciated the in-room breakfast and outside terrace for a glass of wine . It was easy to leave our car at TA&CO parking lot and get a shuttle to the hotel. A very pleasant stay and highly recommended.

Room tip: Parking at the TA&CO parking lot was very convenient. We packed enough clothes for 3 days in a backpack and left the rest in the car.

Oddly enough, we had never slept in a cave before, but this was a delightful experience. The rooms of the hotel are separated by a short distance from the reception (a quirk of Materan geography) but it is unimportant. The room is more than large enough, well appointed with a decent size and very comfortable bed and luxurious linen. Breakfast is in your room waiting for you to make the following morning with everything you need for a generous continental breakfast. There’s a good sized fridge, and we had arranged a bottle of chilled Prosecco to be waiting. The staff were lovely and accommodating
A genuine find, and a unique experience
Highly recommended

Room tip: We took a bus to Matera. The bus terminal is a good way from the centre, but the hotel put us in contact with a taxi to the hotel

Dear David,
we are very pleased that your stay at the Dimora della Chisetta gave you an experience you have never had before. We are delighted that you enjoyed the welcome you received and the breakfast in your room, a peculiarity of our albergo diffuso.

What can we say, we really hope that if you ever decide to return to Matera we will have the pleasure of having you as our guests again.

My best regards.
