SEXTANTIO - LE GROTTE DELLA CIVITA

Bello e caratteristico

You will not find a hotel more spectacular anyway in the world!
The service/ food evening around this hotel is simply the best.

This is a truly magical place that provides a very authentic experience of spending a night (or a few) in Matera.

We stayed over for one night during the off season (in February) in the room with a bathtub and it was very relaxing to use it after a full day of traveling and exploring the town. The ventilation was very good in our room (room 14) which is a very important feature when it comes to sleeping in the caves as we’ve been told.

A note to future travelers - we saw two rooms at the hotel during our stay and both didn’t have a door to separate the toilet so do double check that in advance with the hotel if it’s a concern ;)

The breakfast was exceptional filled with locally made products which were very fresh. The coffee was great too.

The service was great, the staff were polite and very attentive.

All in all, I’d highly recommend this hotel as we had an amazing experience. Thank you team Sextantio!

Best cave authentic room we have ever stayed in. This is the real deal people. First, i noticed pple in the review before i book complaining about moist and dark! Duuuuuh its a cave!!! Second, we stayed here in February it was soo cold but inside the cave was amazing and warm. The service is absolutely wonderful, Emilia and Piere were kind of to welcome us and help us with luggage during checkin and out. Its an amazing feeling being there. Yes, it provides only breakfast which is over the top experience but you can order deliveroo all the way to your cave from any restaurant in this old village or burger king from the modern matera side. In the morning 6 am, you step out on the curb and hear the birds and river flow beneath you. If lord of the rings and game of thrones had a baby this place would be it!
