Hotel Cave del Sole

Breakfast ok. Room was clean and comfortable. TV had no English speaking stations. Google maps showed hotel 0.4 miles away from actual location. Staff had difficulty telling me where property actually was, when phoned in with problem. Staff helpful in scheduling City tour, but when could not locate tour guide, had difficulty helping to make connection.

Great hotel with the beautiful breakfast near city centre. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to walk to the centre, so you will need a car.

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 place to stay

Highly recommended if you have auto.

The property debited my credit card two weeks prior to arrival in full despite explicit statement and request on Expedia site that bill would be settled at property - when challenged the property said these were their rules and it is unfortunate that Expedia states something different- this needs to be sorted out

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.

New hotel with modern decor insude architectural cave characteristics. Excellent breakfast. Overall, aMatera beautiful experience

Pleasant Hotel with plenty of free parking.

Great hotel. Receptionist was extremely helpful and spoke with us in perfect English which is good as my Italian is non existent. Modern boarding on art house design in the shell of an old farmhouse. Quiet and easy to find and park

Very nice modern hotel in an old stone building done up. Very pleasant & helpfull staff. Clean rooms & bathroom. A bit out of town but private parking. Excellent breakfast and good WiFi. In all a great stay.

This hotel is out of the busy area, but by car close enogh to everything

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.

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.

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.

Very good hotel if you want to explore Matera. Although you need a car to get to city centre. Clean , spacious rooms. Limited choices for breakfast.
