Lovely cave hotel right in the old town of Matera. Our room was big and very clean. Don’t forget to book a slot in the spa, the spa was lovely after a day exploring Matera.

We had a wonderful stay at Cave Aquatica Hotel in Matera! While there’s no on-site parking (common in Matera), the hotel directed us to a nearby lot and arranged transport—Antonio, our driver, was fantastic. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and even making dinner reservations for us. The location is very central, perfect for exploring the Sassi. We were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade—absolutely stunning and well equipped. Highly recommend this hotel!

Cave rooms are special..pool area is restricted to adulta so our son was disappointed. Breakfast was good and there are many good restaurants nearby. Keiv tops the list. It's painful to park a but fair, take taxi and come to the hotel but it's worth it.

Nice hotel to stay in the Center of the old town, clean, spacious room in a cave, friendly staff, great cave pool, nice breakfast but no parking or driving into the old town though, have to park outside of old town in an allocated carpark (€25/day) and need to pay €15 /way for transfer service into the hotel, overall still very good experience staying inside the magical old Matera
