We stayed in the Junior Suite- Cave, which had a queen and twin bed. It was very roomy and quiet and a very unique place to stay. We were very comfortable, and we appreciated the terrific breakfast in the morning. The staff were very helpful and the person at the front desk coordinated with our cab driver when the road suddenly closed due to a movie being filmed outside. I would definitely recommend a visit to Matera, a visit to the museum that explains the history of this city, a walk around at night, and of course a stay at this hotel. There are a lot of steps in Matera and also some in the room we stayed in.

I had planned to visit Matera long before the city was popularised by the latest James Bond film and picked the Caveoso Hotel because of its caves and location. I arrived early and got an early check in on a very hot day. Had a lovely cool room. Breakfast I ate on the patio. Just a great city and lovely hotel.

We had a big double room (with an extra single bed) with a few steps between the bedroom and the bathroom (they were not on the same floor level, but it seems to be normal in Matera). The bedroom looked almost empty because the furniture was really minimal, and some pieces, like the wardrobe and the big mirror, looked second-hand and a bit worn-out. Breakfast had not a so wide selection of food but it was of quite good quality and cappuccino was excellent. The staff is really nice.
So, we had a nice stay but I think it should be a bit improved.
