What guests think
Il Palazzotto I Residence & Winery - The D'Angelo Family Collection delivers a memorable cave-stay in Matera’s Sassi, combining a central, walkable location with characterful design and thoughtful touches like a convivial lobby and terrace.
Rooms are unique, often spacious and comfortable, though the cave setting means layouts and features vary, and a few guests noted minor practical quirks such as limited ventilation, scarce storage or mirrors, or occasional low water pressure. Breakfast is widely praised, and guests appreciate the welcome wine, winery experiences, and a well regarded sister restaurant, with occasional remarks that late-morning items were not fully replenished. Cleanliness is consistently high, and staff help with parking and shuttle logistics makes arrival easier despite the lack of on-site parking. Expect a character-rich, comfortable base for exploring Matera.

Stunning property. Breakfast in the cave was a unique experience. Our room was perfect. The location in the center of Matera enabled us to walk the whole city. And what a city. Would definitely stay here again.

Il Palazzotto in Matera is an absolute GEM! From the breathtaking cave lobby and dining area to our spacious, beautifully decorated room, every detail was charming and elegant. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a glass of Palazzo Zimara Susumaniello, so exquisite it was unforgettable! Breakfasts were delightful, the boutique rupestrian style combined with modern comforts and the incredible Sassi location, made our stay truly exceptional. Viviana, Irene, and Antonio’s warm, and impeccable hospitality completed a perfect experience. Thank you all!! We will wholeheartedly recommend this magical hotel to friends and family!

It is really a superb hotel. In Matera to be able to sleep in a room "cave" is quite special. The room #5 is large and had everything we needed except a big mirror. The only one was a small square one in the open bathroom above the lavabo and the lighthening was more romantic then useful there! I know it is not the same in every room as every room has a special design and decoration. The reception and the breakfast room are also beautiful. We loved the big terrasse where we could enjoy the sun and a drink at the end of the afternoon. Well situated in the city center. A place to discover!

Excellent property and location. The experience of the cave room was different and fun. The hotel coordinated with a parking garage our car and even used it in the middle of our stay drive to Gravina and Albarobello. Matera is beautiful and has great restaurants (we recommend Austin in front of Agustine church).

A very special place - both the accommodations and the main reception and dining areas. Worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime cave experience. The staff was lovely and really elevated a great stay to exceptional. Antonio, the manager, was brimming with enthusiasm for his city and the hotel, sharing history of both. He recommended the fantastic Osteria al Casale restaurant on the cliffside for dinner which served excellent food and was nicely away from the hordes. Maristella is as sweet as she is adorable. So helpful and gracious. The included breakfast was ample and there was quite a variety, from savory options to pastries. The dining room is stunning. Loved it! We stayed in the family apartment which exceeded expectations. The main room is spacious even with sofa bed opened. There is a separate sitting area with another sofa and coffee table which was very useful. The sofa bed was comfortable and big enough for two teens to fit comfortably. The master bedroom was roomy and the bed super comfortable. It was only missing a full length mirror. Adding a barn door on the master bedroom to provide privacy from kids staying in the main area would be a bonus. There is also a kitchenette with refrigerator in the apartment. The bathroom is modern and functional. The shower is small so I shared with the manager that a shelf is needed to hold shampoo/soap. This is really the only critique on an otherwise magical place. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay in Matera and so glad I chose II Palazotto as our home for 2 nights. The room was amazing, was a wonderful experience sleeping in a cave! Beautifully designed and had everything you needed. Breakfast was great and met some other lovely guests during our stay. Staff were friendly and the wine was very good. Enjoyed a dinner at their restaurant which is situated at the other side of town. There is only a few steps up to the accomodation from the street. We travelled to Matera by car and left it at car park about 6km away and they have a shuttle service that drops and picks you up from the door which was super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend a stay here and especially a visit to Matera it was a WOW for us!

The room was super clean, the staff were really friendly, and the welcome wine was amazing. We switched room types between the first and second night, and this one had awesome natural light and great heating. Only thing was the water pressure—it was a bit low. Still, I’d totally come back here!

We had no windows! also we booked a car transfer from the airport to the hotel. No show! Hotel said the taxi driver forgot. We had to take an airport taxi at an extra €40 no offer to assist we were just told by the hotel not our fault!

This property was a fantastic choice for our visit to Matera. Our cave room was lovely, and each room is unique. The staff were helpful, and the common areas are just as unique as the individual rooms. There were minor inconvenience within our room as far as storage options of belongings and toiletries, and getting in and out of your room can be challenging, but very minor in comparison to the experience. HIGHLY recommend this property.

We stayed here in April 2025 and absolutely loved it! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with anything we needed. They also provided excellent recommendations for walking around the city, including some sites to see and dining options in the area. The rooms are quiet, comfortable and include everything you might need. Be warned as they are true caves, there is little to no ventilation though it creates perfect sleeping temperatures as you don't have the sun baking in your windows. We absolutely cannot wait to stay here again!

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Our room in a cave was unique and beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We did a private wine tasting which included wines made at their winery and a lot of good local history; their sister restaurant also was great for dinner. The location is perfect, easily walkable to the entirety of Matera.

Stunning property. Breakfast in the cave was a unique experience. Our room was perfect. The location in the center of Matera enabled us to walk the whole city. And what a city. Would definitely stay here again.

I stayed just one night. It was a lovely hotel well situated with friendly staff. It was cool waking up in a cave and I left before breakfast.

A delightful stay at an unusual, quirky but wonderful hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Lovely wine too! So quiet and convenient to everything including diverse choice of great eateries. Loved Matera! Shuttle service and parking was also efficient. Definitely recommend Il Palazzotto.

Dining
Breakfast earns strong praise for quality and variety; guests also highlight the welcome wine, winery tastings, and a well regarded sister restaurant. A few note that some breakfast items were not fully replenished later in the service.

Il Palazzotto in Matera is an absolute GEM! From the breathtaking cave lobby and dining area to our spacious, beautifully decorated room, every detail was charming and elegant. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a glass of Palazzo Zimara Susumaniello, so exquisite it was unforgettable! Breakfasts were delightful, the boutique rupestrian style combined with modern comforts and the incredible Sassi location, made our stay truly exceptional. Viviana, Irene, and Antonio’s warm, and impeccable hospitality completed a perfect experience. Thank you all!! We will wholeheartedly recommend this magical hotel to friends and family!

Un superbe hôtel décoré avec énormément de goût. Nous étions dans une très grande chambre troglodyte avec un charme fou. La terrasse de l’hotel est très sympa. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et sympa en table commune. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Nous avons apprécié le verre de vin offert à l’arrivée. Et bien sûr idéalement situé à Matera.

We loved our stay in Matera and so glad I chose II Palazotto as our home for 2 nights. The room was amazing, was a wonderful experience sleeping in a cave! Beautifully designed and had everything you needed. Breakfast was great and met some other lovely guests during our stay. Staff were friendly and the wine was very good. Enjoyed a dinner at their restaurant which is situated at the other side of town. There is only a few steps up to the accomodation from the street. We travelled to Matera by car and left it at car park about 6km away and they have a shuttle service that drops and picks you up from the door which was super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend a stay here and especially a visit to Matera it was a WOW for us!

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Our room in a cave was unique and beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We did a private wine tasting which included wines made at their winery and a lot of good local history; their sister restaurant also was great for dinner. The location is perfect, easily walkable to the entirety of Matera.

Gorgeous property, highly recommend. The only thing lacking (a little, not a reason to pass on this beautiful property) - but breakfast is included from 830 to 1030. We got there at 9 and many items were out. No eggs no bacon and some pasties with empty plates.

I visited based on a friend’s recommendation and stayed in two different room types over two days. The room conditions, scent, ambiance, and interior design all captured the essence of Matera perfectly. It was even better than a 5-star hotel. The welcome drink was excellent, the reception staff were incredibly kind, and the breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended!
