Good hotel on the outskirts of Matera

Hotel Cave del Sole was a nice hotel that was exactly what we needed for two nights exploring Matera. There’s parking for around 10 cars in a courtyard in front of the hotel (plus an underground garage which looked tight to park in). This opens on to a fairly busy road - take care exiting. You really do need a car as it’s 10 mins drive to Matera. We went to a local restaurant recommended by the hotel: 5 mins drive and fine (not pretty but nice pizza). Our room was for three: a bedroom and a sofa bed in what would normally be the sitting room - all comfortable. It was quite functional but nice - all white and clean. There was a kettle and reception kindly provided milk. Breakfast was fine and staff were helpful and friendly. Matera btw is definitely worth including on your Puglia visit - we spent a full day there and we’re able to see most of it. A great, functional hotel (not a ‘wow’ but very nice) that ticked all the boxes.

Great hotel in Matera for those who don't mind driving everywhere. The hotel itself is excellent - the rooms are large and well-appointed, the breakfast is good, and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful (they provided very useful recommendations for both sightseeing and dining options). And there's ample parking on the property itself. For us, it was the perfect option. But it's important to note that the hotel stands on a busy road without sidewalks. So, even though it's within a 15-minute walk from many restaurants and within 30 minutes from the Sassi, it's highly inadvisable to go by foot and you should plan on driving. On the plus side, we had no trouble finding parking near any of our destinations in town.

Perfect in every way

The hotel is very modern and clean. It's easy to find and access if driving. The GPS co-ordinates take you exactly to the driveway. The lady at the reception was very welcoming and friendly and gave us lots of good information about the best restaurants, how to get into town etc. We took the taxi into the town centre at a fixed 10 euros if you used their driver. Less hassle than driving your own car. The breakfasts were great, beautiful cakes, tarts etc and the rest. I highly recommend this hotel. Could not fault it.

Boutique Hotel conveniently close to Matera by car

Pleasant stay in Matera. I got upgraded to a very spacious room; trendy decoration and modern bathroom with the essence of the stones all over. You need to arrive by car, the staff is incansably friendly and helpful. The only thing to say is that internet was a bit slow, so do not plan to work via VPN. An intermittent noise close to the door (maybe heated water running) make you wake up earlier than you want. Overall I will be back here and stay probably longer.

Beautiful hotel

Beautifully appointed hotel on the outskirts of Matera. Great size room, excellent air conditioning, comfortable bed. Our room had a kitchenette so great if you want to prepare you own meals. Excellent breakfast selection with croissants/cake etc but also fruit, yoghurt, cereal and juice - can eat inside or on the undercover outside area. Not located in the sassi, but a short drive and a lovely place to return to at the end of the day. Great shower!

Nice bright good-sized room at this hotel with good size fridge and cooktop we didn't use. Staff were helpful. Hotel on main road so noisy but everything worked well and desk folks helped direct us to ancient section of Matera and good restaurants. Breakfast OK. It would be nice to have some snack food or bar available on site but it was OK.

The hotel is new and the modern furnishings and facilities are great. Although it is slightly out of town, if you have a car it is well positioned to drive into the centre (the staff speak good English and are very helpful with directions for parking near the old town) as well as for roads out of town.

THIS HOTEL HAD A TOUCH OF CLASS

A stunning building tastefully renovated, lovely spacious room with balcony; we had breakfast on the patio. Lots to chose from for breakfast their bread was to die for. It was not really in walking distance of Matera but we did walk there. A more detailed map would be useful as the one supplied by the hotel was the town tourist map and didn't have the hotel on it! We taxied back for 15 Euros. Nonetheless it was a delightful stop, very helpful staff, one of the best hotels we stayed at during our 3 week tour of Italy.
