Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita

Celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary in Matera was sublime We stayed for 3 nights in our Cave and celebrated our wedding anniversary evening in their chapel, I was speechless by the whole evening, the surroundings, wine and food were outstanding The team were wonderful, always accommodating and the hotel was so unique, the history of this very special place is breathtaking A wonderful experience we will never forgot

This is a very atmospheric hotel, making the most of the converted caves to provide a unique experience. Candles burn in every room, with subdued electric light, but there is also WiFi , mini fridge and modern shower. Service is first class.

Fabulous and unique hotel in the old part of Matera. Rooms are all in the original cave dwellings. Don’t panic - plenty of light and dry and airy, with excellent bathroom facilities. Staff all incredibly friendly and helpful. Great breakfast with local products. No evening restaurant, but they do serve drinks and food until 7pm. You have to park in the new town and they organise a shuttle to the hotel, which worked really well. Lots of local restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel also organised our guide for a morning tour of Matera.

Wow. I first saw this hotel on a Travel programme years ago and had wanted to stay here ever since. We were luky enough to stay at this amazing cave hotel in Matera for our 25th Wedding anniversary, and it was more than I ever dreamed of. We stayed in Cave 10 situated at the end so you had a private little outside space. There is a small reading nook, large bedroom, separate shower/wc cave and a large separate cave housing the bath all interconnecting. It was the Cave i really hoped for, and it didn't disappoint. Lots of room and filled with lit candles, it was a dream. The breakfast room is a former church carved into the cave, and the breakfast was amazing. The service was top notch and nothing was ever too much for them. If you are looking for somewhere special to stay in Matera, this is it!!
