This is an EXCELLENT place to stay and enjoy Matera. The rooms are big, very comfortable, modern, and convenient to walk around beautiful Matera. The bathroom is big and the toilet is in a separate room than the shower and the lavatory. The staff is very helpful and very cordial. They helped us with every request we had. But, I can’t emphasize more the location… it is in the middle of the Sassi and all locations that one needs to visit. It is located in a small mountain that overlooks part of the Sassi. And one thing very important, you don’t have to carry your luggage to far up, the lobby is 6 stairs from the main avenue that takes you everywhere. Highly recommended.!!!

Lovely hotel with extremely helpful staff. We loved staying in a cave room. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I didn’t want to ever get out of the enormous shower. When we arrived, really after restaurants were serving lunch, the reception staff called to make sure the restaurant next door could accommodate us. He then mapped out a walking tour for us for the afternoon and recommended several restaurants nearby for dinner. We loved everything about the place except that the platform for the bed was larger than the bed and if one (I.e. me) were not paying attention, it was easy to walk into the corner of the platform and give your leg a nice bruise.

A unique stay in a cave room right in the heart of Matera. No parking in old town but multi storey car park a 10 minute walk away (10 euros per day) - beware the slippery cobbles and steps when pulling luggage through the old town, not for the infirm! Interesting stay and very helpful host. Continental buffet breakfast included. Convenient for exploring the old town.

Especially charming, especially special
This friendly, immaculately clean hotel was one of the best in which we’ve ever stayed. Gianvito is a wonderful, helpful host who helped us check in (it’s tricky to get to), and gave us a superb orientation that allowed us to maximize our (sadly short) time in Matera. The town itself is of course amazing, and Alle Malve is in a perfect location for exploring it.

Fantastic in every way
This is a fantastic B&B, right in the middle of the Sasso in Matera. The owner is extremely helpful, friendly and informative, and has made a fantastic job of converting this traditional property to a very high standard. Breakfast was very nice, with a selection fresh meat, cheese, croissants and home made jams. Our room, in a self-contained building next to the main house, was superb, with a balcony to sit out on to enjoy the amazing atmosphere of this wonderful town. The owner has plans to provide further rooms and a spa. If you intend coming to this amazing old town, stay here right in the middle of it and soak up the history. One of the best stays we have had.

wonderful cave dwellings
Matera is a very surprising place and for good reason it will be Cultural Capital of Europe in 2019. The B&B is in the heart of the old sassi area of cave dwellings and has kept its original appearance, but with all modern amenities. The owner is very enthusiastic and did his best to make sure we would see all worthwhile places. The breakfast was not on a par with the other services and should be improved.
