We absolutely loved our stay. Very attentive before our arrival, arranging our parking and shuttle to the hotel. Once at the hotel the staff was so kind and friendly and offered recommendations. The room itself was better than expected and the buffet breakfast had a great selection. Best of all, it was quiet at night allowing us to actually get a good nights sleep.

A perfect Matera experience

Our stay at Cenobio lived up to the expectations we had based on previous reviews we had read. The hotel truly felt like an extension of the overall Matera world bringing the cave experience to life albeit with the luxury one would expect of a 5-star hotel. We had just a 1-night stay as a family of 4 including our 2 near adult teenagers. We had a spacious family suite which had a half-split level - twin beds on the mezzanine overlooking the rooms below and a queen at the rear. The suite felt spacious and was tastefully presented matching the stone work, it was spotlessly clean and benefited from a generous bathroom with a lovely rain forest shower. The pre-check-in comms from the hotel was excellent. They reached out a few days in advance to guide on parking and transfer options (the hotel cannot be accessed by car). We were light on luggage and chose to walk from the parking garage to the hotel through the streets of Matera. Breakfast was typical of our Italian experiences, offered a range of cereals, pastries, cakes, cold meats etc with the obligatory Italian coffee. All thoroughly enjoyed by our family of 4. The setting of the hotel is superb with Matera one of the most amazing spots we have visited. Our choice of hotel while at the higher end from a cost perspective, truly added to the holiday. A wonderful stay.

Beautiful hotel update in the old city. The hotel and staff were very welcoming and attentive. The views are amazing. Be aware there are many many steps to go anywhere in the old city…uneven, rocky and challenging to navigate. If you have any physical walking challenges you might find the hotel location problematic. Do yourself a favor, take a taxi and then you can have them meet you and help with your luggage.

Fantastic hotel

We had an incredible stay here. The staff were so helpful and very responsive. Damiano is an asset to the hotel. We stayed in the room with a terrace , the terrace is large and had the most wonderful view. We made use of the private spa and massages which was an amazing experience. The hotel is a short walk ( down quite a few steps) from the main part of the old town. Quiet at night but close to all the sites. Would highly recommend.

Zentrale Oase der Freundlichkeit

Gleich ein paar Steps unterhalb der Piazza Duomo. Bereits vor Ankunft ein freundliches WhatsApp über Parking, da die Altstadt verkehrsfrei ist. Der Transfer vom Parking zum Hotel lohnt sich: Samir holt Euch am Piazzo Duomo ab. Das Zimmer ist sehr gross und modern eingerichtet. Sehr grosses Bad. Der Empfang von Damiano weltklasse. Das Frühstück ist vielseitig und die Organisation zurück zum Parking durch Mario hervorragend. A very nice place to stay.

Best location, rooms and staff amazing !

Fantastic place to stay! Great price! Beautiful view! Amazing Room & staff especially Mario , fantastic personality, helpful , who greeted us at the top of the stairs where the taxi dropped us off & carried our luggage down 80 steps to our room. Breakfast offered was so good with fresh bakery goods and yummy cappuccino. Come to this hotel, it is next door to the sextantio where our friends stayed and struggled with lighting in their rooms. Say hi to Mario!
