Il Belvedere

Il belveredere located off main road, easy access if compared to staying in the centre of sassi with so many steps to climb. The terrace view where you can have your breakfast is really spectacular. The staff are helpful. Overall hotel is clean. Breakfast is adequate but average, coffee is lukewarm, which to me is a letdown, a piping hot cup of coffee shows that the host care. The room given to me was a big disappointment.there was a step down a small rounded empty space in the room which to me serves no purpose, I cannot put my luggage or use it, cos the ceiling was so low, in fact it was use to put a 'humidifier' a whirring machine that I had to ask the staff to come n switch off at 9.30 at night.my husband had a tumble down the level to this space, lucky he was not injured. My bed was parellel n right next to the bathroom which had a transparent door. The window open out to the common space outside, worse, the morning after I arrive, someone was smoking right outside, turns out to be a smoking zone cos I saw a pit w sand which I presume to be for snuffing out cigarettes?Looking in the window you can see me lying on my bed.. I don't like totally enclosed space, and had requested for a room with a window. And I am totally upset to be given a room like that.

Unique experience with fantastic terasse view of Matera. Very friendly and hospitable staff!

The hotel is part of The Sassi so the room was partially carved into the rock. This brings tremendous character and a unique feel. The view from the rear of the property is jaw dropping at first sight. Aside from the majestic scale of the gorge the views of the cave dwellings and the old town take you back several centuries.

Amazing city, hotel in fabulous position, with a lovely terrace.

Great location with great view from terrace. Very accessible to all the sights. Free parking outside. Comfortable room in a cave. We enjoyed our stay.

Incredible view from the terrace while having breakfast in the sun. The breakfast itself was pretty good too. The room was one of the smallest I have ever been though.

As described, we felt like we were staying in a cave (a nice one) with modern amenities. The location could not be better with a fabulous view and an easy walk to all historic areas of the town. Staff was friendly and readily answered our questions. Breakfast was a typical cold Italian breakfast in a breakfast area. It was a great stay and wonderful means of getting a feel of Matera.

Great hotel. Friendly services. English speaking reception. Great view from the terrace.

This hotel is a must stay when you are enjoying Matera. The breakfast is great.
