Pros +
- This hotel is amazing. Incredible location, friendly service, and a clean and spacious room. Highly recommend!
- It is a very special experience to live in a sassi with modern and comfortable facility. The hotel offered a wide and diverse selection. Onofrio, Matteo and Roberto are extremely friendly and helpful. It was raining when we arrived, they helped to carry our luggages under the pouring rain.
- Good location and value. Parking is at an offsite area out of the historical area since it is closed to tourist traffic but the hotel shuttle pick up and drop off is easy
Cons -
- “Bath” exactly in the room ? very interesting experience? no privacy.☺️
- Nothing!
- The temperature of the room we could not figure out and would be hotter than we would normally like it.

Great location and view!! Very clean and comfortable.
Incredible views, pickup and drop off service to and from the parking lots. Great, friendly staff and communication prior to arrival. The room was very comfortable and spacious. No complaints. Great breakfast spread every morning.
The view was amazing! ? The staff was very helpful. Smart TV in the room❤️ We installed “web cast” app on it and could watch movies “James Bond-No time to die” and “Wonder woman” on that big screen?
“Bath” exactly in the room ? very interesting experience? no privacy.☺️
It’s different, in an old city cave type hotel . Very nice atmosphere very clean. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.
Creative way of preserving original features and making it modern and practical.Also a very good breakfast , service and shower.
Perfect location in the ancient city.Helpful courteous staff. Spotlessly clean.They tell you exactly where to park in the newer part of Matera next to the university and then pick you up. Parking was free and left car for 2 days with no problems.
Nothing!
Location, staff, breakfast included. We stayed for 2 nights and had a great time. Giuseppe gave us a very well described map with all the information we needed and more. He also recommended restaurants and explained the traditional culinary of the region (one of the best I ever experienced). I liked their fast responses thru WhatsApp for anything we had questions about. Our room had a little “window view” to a cave under it we thought was very interesting.
The temperature of the room we could not figure out and would be hotter than we would normally like it.
Great location inside the sassi di matera. They come to pick you up from the outside parking lot, so you don't need to drive into the sassi area.
We booked a supervisor triple room that has specific pictures and is described as 45 m², got a rooom completely different than the pictures, which was 25 m² at best. We were told that the pictures on the website are "only a reference."
⸻Unforgettable stay at Bassa Hotel!Sleeping in a cave was a once-in-a-lifetime experience — the room was beautifully designed and stayed cool, with the most stunning view. The staff were exceptional, warm, and couldn’t do enough for us. Oni was amazing, recommending the best local restaurants. Breakfast was a daily highlight — fresh, delicious, and beautifully served. Truly special in every way!
It was all wonderful
In the heart of Matera! Beautiful view and spacious room. Very well maintained and clean. Breakfast was delicious!!! Also, Roberto was extraordinary! He fulfilled all our needs. Thank you so muchHighly recommend!
The staff , the breakfast , the pickup at the parking spot and transportation to thrhotel, the room and room design , the location , everything !
Staying in a modified cave that's thousands of years old was a very unique experience. Great space, location, views, breakfast was delicious, everything was easier than expected. Pickup at a local parking lot was perfect. Would definitely stay longer & recommend to anyone interested in visiting this place.
Great location and amazing breakfast included. Very clean and had everything we needed. Picked us up at the free parking garage to bring us to hotel too.
Shower curtain needed. Everything else great.
Great location in the Sassi area in MateraPick up at the parking lot to the hotel was seamlessGreat communication -excellent place-top notch!

There was no bidet
Extraordinary! Excellent service: the hotel is in the pedestrian zone so they give you options where to park (we parked for free in a university lot nearby) and pick you up / deliver you to your car. They carry your suitcases for you to your room since stairs and some walking is required. Rooms are incredible, each one in a separate « cave » completely refurbished. Heated floors in the bathroom, smart Tv. Amazing breakfast, incredible view from the door of our room, friendly and helpful staff.
