Top Matera Hotel Reviews

Basiliani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel located in the most historical area of Matera. Great views of the gorge and mountain across from our suite. Convenient location and walkable. Parking is offsite at a paid location as there are restrictions, however, the hotel staff picks you up in the van. Great overall with clean, spacious double room with loft space. Lovely breakfast and nice, helpful staff. Highly Recommend!"
