Conche Luxury Retreat

What guests think

At Conche Luxury Retreat, guests consistently praise the unique cave rooms with modern comforts, the exceptional made-to-order breakfasts, and warm, proactive service that includes helpful pre-arrival communication and assistance with recommendations, reservations, and logistics throughout a centrally located stay.

Its position in the Sassi is walkable to sights and restaurants, and several reviews mention convenient pick-up or parking arrangements.

Access over pedestrian stone paths can be tricky with luggage, but overall expect a distinctive, memorable boutique stay.

The property is well placed to explore Matera. Viktor, the manager, made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived. He took some time with us to explain many of the places to visit during our short stay and this very helpful. Breakfast was outstanding and a great start to each day, especially when we were able to eat 'al fresco' on the terrace outside reception. Viktor was available throughout our stay to offer any help or advice we required.

Our stay here was like staying at a boutique hotel. It was so unique and felt completely private. Great in-room amenities and great bed and bedding. The location is great, but as we did you will probably need a taxi from the train station. If you can arrive at Matera Sud, it would be more convenient. Victor from the hotel arranged a taxi for us upon arrival which worked out great. This place offers great customer service and a fabulous breakfast. Can’t recommend it enough.

What a unique property with a prime walkable location. Our room was built into the rock facade. Lovely decor with an Italian design sensibility. The bathtub and sink, the faucets, the ingenious clothes hanging line, the tile accents. All appreciated. The breakfast was incredible with every thing fresh, homemade and copious. The staff helpful. We parked in town, and were picked up at the garage and dropped off in Stassi- avoiding the challenges of city parking. We enjoyed walking around The beautiful city.

Where do I begin. Conche was the perfect stay for such a magical town! I had the hotel working for us before we even arrived. They arranged a TukTuk tour for us, and a driver to pick us up at the bus station when we arrived. Although it was too early to check in Tiziana did everything to make us comfortable. She booked dinner reservations for both nights we were there at phenomenal restaurants that were close and great seats. No request was too great, and although I may have been overly expecting, she came through everyone with a win! The room is beyond imagination! What can you do with a cave. They made it comfortable with all accommodations and romantic! This stay was beyond our expectations! Highly highly recommend!

The staff is amazing in all regards. Matera and the Sasse is a bucket list adventure. Bring your walking shoes!

They served a delicious breakfast and made sure we were satisfied at every turn. Carla’s knowledge of the area and passion for Matera added so much to our stay. We will be back one day, hopefully next year, and I would not dream of staying anywhere else.

I don't often wax lyrical about the very many stays I have had in hotels and b and bs around the world but Conche Luxury Retreat, in the historic centre of Matera, is absolutely worthy of the highest praise. For a start, even before your arrival, the attentive host Carla contacts you to find out how you are getting to Matera and then works with you to make sure you know exactly how to find this absolute gem of a hotel nestling right in the centre of this Unesco World Heritage Site. On arrival you are taken to a beautifully and tastefully appointed former cave house, now hotel room, and greeted with aperitifs and snacks. And the experience just gets better. Breakfast each morning is an absolute feast -setting you up for the day ahead. Matera itself is simply jaw-droppingly stunning - literally like no other place on earth. I cannot recommend a visit to the city enough and if so, staying at the exceptional Conche Luxury Retreat to make the experience complete.
