Sara provided us with a most courteous and generous welcome. Our colazione were splendid, with plentiful fresh food,fruits, formaggio, uovo etc. Davide quickly problem solved a minor glitch with the heat in the room and we were very comfortable. Grazie a tutti. A wonderful stay in a beautiful modern hotel. Ronnie Biemans

Convenient and unique experience in the heart of Matera. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We loved Le Malve Cave Retreat, the room was lovely and the reception staff were very friendly and so helpful. We wish we could have stayed more than one night, Matera is a very special place

Lovely staff and great location. However, the door / wall separating the room and bathroom was entirely see through which made the trip a little difficult.

Wonderful stay and heritage property.

Place was amazing. Beautiful. We were a little off season and the owner treated us like family, even picking us up from bus station. Location to everything was perfect. Perfect in every way.

This is an EXCELLENT place to stay and enjoy Matera. The rooms are big, very comfortable, modern, and convenient to walk around beautiful Matera. The bathroom is big and the toilet is in a separate room than the shower and the lavatory. The staff is very helpful and very cordial. They helped us with every request we had. But, I can’t emphasize more the location… it is in the middle of the Sassi and all locations that one needs to visit. It is located in a small mountain that overlooks part of the Sassi. And one thing very important, you don’t have to carry your luggage to far up, the lobby is 6 stairs from the main avenue that takes you everywhere. Highly recommended.!!!

Lovely hotel with extremely helpful staff. We loved staying in a cave room. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I didn’t want to ever get out of the enormous shower. When we arrived, really after restaurants were serving lunch, the reception staff called to make sure the restaurant next door could accommodate us. He then mapped out a walking tour for us for the afternoon and recommended several restaurants nearby for dinner. We loved everything about the place except that the platform for the bed was larger than the bed and if one (I.e. me) were not paying attention, it was easy to walk into the corner of the platform and give your leg a nice bruise.

A unique stay in a cave room right in the heart of Matera. No parking in old town but multi storey car park a 10 minute walk away (10 euros per day) - beware the slippery cobbles and steps when pulling luggage through the old town, not for the infirm! Interesting stay and very helpful host. Continental buffet breakfast included. Convenient for exploring the old town.

Front desk receptionist (Valentina) was excellent in checking us in and showing around the room, shared the map and explained where to see what attractions, suggested great dining options. Morning breakfast was great, room was excellent. Recommend all to stay and try the experience out.

This place is incredible!! The room is actually in a cave!!!

beautiful hotel, the staff is extremely helpful. Room 28 is spectacular, clean, modern but with the charm of the caves. highly recommended.

Good service and friendly personnel

Great hotel & location. Great friendly service. Comfortable room. Lovely hot shower. Kettle provided but had to plug it in the bathroom(!) Stocked mini fridge. Good lighting for make up. Breakfast located in newer part of hotel next door, good breakfast choices.

Great location and very comfortable room and very helpful owner.

Location, and the cave still evident in iur riom was amazing

Staying in a cave for a night was a really nice experience! The B&B was located in the centre of Matera with lots of things to see around and places to eat. The owner was very helpful and nice, he gave us a lot of recommendations!

Great location, great breakfast, great room, and great hospitality! A+
