Steps on the way into the apartment.

Was always in contact with the host, and was always checking we were OK, giving us local information, and help. Apartment was clean and well kept. The view was incredible and location was excellent, you just have to be a little careful of the steps on the way too the apartment. We would definitely recommend.

Awkward to bring luggage down all those steps. But it’s Matera

It’s was located in a central place. House was cute, big enough for 4, clean and modern.

We loved the experience of sleeping in a grotto for 2 nights. It’s in a super convenient location and the instructions on how to get there and what carpark to park were very clear. It was nice and cool in summer. Matera is beautiful for wandering around and all the drinks and restaurant recommendations were great too!

The only real issue is the lack of kitchen, the only facilities are a sink, fridge, kettle and a coffee machine. There is no hob or cooking equipment. The bathroom is compact but perfectly adequate.

The reason to visit Matera is to see the Sassi so it’s a must in my opinion to stay in a Casa Grotta. This apartment has it all. Firstly accessible from Piazza Vittorio Veneto, (the gateway is next to the cheese shop on the passage to the Il Terrazzino restaurant.) The apartment enters via a small balcony into a large lounge/dining area with a sofa bed. The first bedroom is on the mezzanine above, the only windows are by this entrance. You then step down to a small kit he and the bathroom. There are more steps down to a large area that serves as a sitting area with a glassed over well, you then descend down into the last bedroom. Both these rooms are in manmade caves. The apartment is large and has a great location. The view from the small balcony is into the Sassi towards the Cathedral. There is parking in the multi storey car park either in Via Rocco Scotellaro (2 days €48) or the one in Via Lanera (2 days €40), both are secure the first is 5 minutes away the second 10 minutes.

This place is the best place to stay. When you come down the stairs and turn the corner- the view is amazing. Thanks for a great stay!

Casamata Matera was one of the most unique places in which I have ever stayed. It's not often one finds high quality accommodations in a cave. The apartment was perfect for my short stay. It had everything I needed and was very comfy! Fabiana was great and I really appreciate her being able to make the home available a little earlier than usual. The self-check-in was very welcomed and included a video to help people get to the entrance of the home from a maze of roads and old walkways of Matera. The sunset views from the private balcony were amazing. Definitely recommend!

The host was very friendly and gave excellent instructions on how to get to the apartment. It is quite difficult to use Google maps there so the video was much appreciated. The apartment was well stocked with coffee, tea, utensils and fridge. There was a lovely terrace as well! When the windows are closed, it is very quiet within.

Down inside the Sassi district. Lots of stairs (50ish?), but my 82 year old father managed just fine. We rented both apartments and they were both equally special. Communication and instructions were easy and well-timed. Everything was wonderful!

Amazing location, very helpful host, wonderfully characterful and comfortable property. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay to enjoy Matera

Everything was perfect

We had an incredible stay at Casamata in Matera! A big thank you to our wonderful host, Fabiana, for being so accommodating with both an early check-in and late check-out. The location was perfect—right in the heart of the old town, making it easy to explore the stunning surroundings. The apartment itself was beautiful, spacious, and had an amazing private covered terrace where we could relax. The bathroom, carved into the rock, added such a unique and cool touch to the experience. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we can’t wait to return!

A very spacious and comfortable space, and having the experience to stay in an original cave was the cherry on top. We read some past reviews talking about the humidity and the sand on the beds. If they had spent more time learning about Matera and what the caves are made if, they might have appreciated how historical that cave was, and that it carved from sandstone hundreds of years ago, which made it very special. To deal with the humidity, we turned on the dehumidifier during the day, and turned it off before sleeping. The bed had an extra sheet that we could be under, protecting us from the sand. It was in all a very special experience. The cave also included a private cistern which is part of the UNESCO heritage.

Beautiful and spacious apartment, also really warm in December time, providing the coziness. We loved every detail and the view out of the window was just spectacular.

Magical Matera views from the patios of our apartments. Great location close to the main plaza - it makes locating them within the old town easier and access from public parking convenient. The cave apartments are very quiet, nice and spacious. The host is very responsive and super helpful.
