Corte San Pietro

Corte San Pietro sure knows how to pamper its visitors, and we enjoyed being spoilt. Beautiful 16th century buildings, including amazing interconnected cisterns underneath the hotel-complex itself, spacious rooms with private bathrooms, a luxurious breakfast with live music, and very kind and professional staff all around. Location is right in the middle of the Sassi areas of Matera, so everything you might want to see is at easy walking distance. Finally, getting there by the perfectly organised shuttle service from the Sant'Isodoro car park was another luxury not to be missed! Thanks to you all for two amazing days!

Corte san Pietro offers a unique experience!|The rooms are limestone caves, elegant yet warm. The staff provided excellent service and made you feel very welcome. Angela greeted us at breakfast, a piano was played during and the food was delicious. Reception staff provided suggestions for restaurants and guidance for exploring Matera. Would highly recommend and use the service from the car park instead of dragging suitcases… lots of stairs!

Wonderful experience sleeping in a cave- Room was spacious as it had a separate sitting area-- hotel is extremely convenient to the cave portion of Matera and Matera is a must see if you are anywhere near the area. Close to a number of good restaurants-- excellent breakfast. Bed was a little soft and the bathrooms are small ( understandable given it is a cave) . Lovely open courtyard to relax in the afternoon with some snacks and wine that you can order from the hotel. Mini fridges in room. Only negative was the challenge with parking at the specified garage and relying on the third party shuttle service to the hotel, 3 separate groups arrived around the same time so was a long wait and the shuttle service was running behind the day we left so give yourself ample time -- parking is an issue in town and ||I would not let the parking/shuttle deter from staying in this lovely setting. Matera was on of our highlights in the Puglia region

We were traveling around Southern Italy and we thought of visiting Matera. When it was time to choose our hotel. My husband and some chose Corte San Pietro for several reasons. Entrance was near the road - no need to climb steep stairs to reach the front desk. They had reserved parking slots in a parking garage with transfers (for a fee) to and from it. But the hotel offers more - The owners and staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms kept the integrity of the cave theme but were modern and cozy. There was constant hot water for showers. The bed was large and firm. Breakfast was plentiful and yummy. ||We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. I highly recommend you stay here if you are in Matera

This was one of the most unique and beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. The attention to detail with every item that is placed throughout is truly artistic. We had a beautiful breakfast and the owner came down and introduced himself and explained that it was his goal that his guest felt like family. Matera is some place that should never be missed. It was the highlight of my Italian holiday

Corte San Pietro is the most memorable hotel we have ever stayed at. There is something magical about staying in the Sassi and specifically in Corte San Pietro. The hotel and its amenities itself were amazing but the hospitality of the staff made it a perfect stay. The location of the hotel was very ideal, and close to many sights & restaurants in the Sassi. Table service breakfast was the best we’ve had. We are so happy we decided to stay in Corte San Pietro. I very highly recommend to stay here! Grazie, Fernando!

We loved our stay at Corte San Pietro! The property is very charming, with less then 20 rooms all part of old stone buildings restored to life. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the Sasso Caveoso, a short walk from most sights and restaurants. The service has added to the experience - Anne, responsible for the front desk really helped us optimise our stay and movements (arrange parking, book restaurants, simply chat to us about the town…) in a professional but warm way. Everyone else took very good care of us including the kind owner of the hotel that came to chat with us at breakfast. One of the highlights: the breakfast service in one of the cozy limestone rooms, with elegant Christmas lights and accompanied by live piano music.

Matera and this hotel were the highlight of our trip in Italy! The staff speak great English and are personable, helpful and friendly. We had a custom written greeting with our names on our door when we arrived! The complementary breakfast is amazing and it is within walking distance to anything you need! The room is unique, clean, spacious and comfortable. When staying in Matera, this is the place to be!

Corte san Pietro is a beautiful modern hotel in a perfect location near the base of Sasso Caveoso in Matera. Each room in the hotel is unique, and most are located in the old caves ("sassi") that give this section of Matera it's timeless character. But the hotel amenities all are modern and up-to-date. You're literally right across the street from entrances to famous sites such as San Pietro Caveoso, Madonna D'dris, and San Giovanni in Monterrone, and steps away from numerous alleyways and streets leading through the Sasso Caveoso district. Hotel staff are cordial and incredibly attentive. They made us feel very welcome indeed; their introduction to the Sassi district upon arrival is particularly helpful for newcomers. The breakfast was sumptuous Lucanian feast. (Don't miss the ancient cisterns they discovered underneath the property when building the hotel...entrance located in the breakfast area.) All in all, a really magical place. One note on parking: because of its location in the traffic-limited Sassi district, the hotel doesn't have adjacent parking. However, they suggest several local garages; we'd recommend Damasco on Recinto XX Settembre; nice attentive people, and for a small charge they'll shuttle you to the hotel door.
