Corte San Pietro

THE BEST HOTEL EXPERIENCE WE’VE HAD IN EUROPE! The absolute best customer service. The owner walked around every morning to greet each person, the receptionist was so sweet & helpful (fantastic recommendations, accommodating to our every need, gave a history of the city, walked us to our room for check in… really just went above & beyond to make us feel at home!) There’s a live pianist for breakfast (the food was plentiful, delicious, & the service felt like we were in a luxurious restaurant) There was also cisterns under the hotel you could visit. The rooms were extremely clean, they came with free water & fresh fruit (along with a stocked mini bar available for a small fee). They felt very cozy. The location of the hotel was also fantastic. It was close to all of the main tourist sites & several restaurants. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We fell in love with Matera , such a magical place.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is made up of several cave-houses, which gives you a very unique experience. Our room was very spacious, with a sitting area separate from the bedroom. Another sitting area outside your door on the courtyard is a great place to enjoy a night-cap. Matera has to be seen at night to be appreciated, and the Corte San Pietro hotel is right in the middle of it, providing an excellent experience.

Absolutely incredible stay at Corte San Pietro! From the moment we arrived we fell in love, from the wonderful friendly, helpful service and staff. The cave room was unbelievable! We didn’t want to leave. Breakfast was absolutely stunning with the most fantastic team and live pianists. Amazing stay. 5 star in every way.

What a wonderful experience The hotel staff are great especially Anna. She booked us a Tuk Tuk with Vito that was fun and informative. Then Anna got us a driver to take us to Lecce The staff really go beyond the usual The room was beautiful and the breakfast excellent. All in all A+++

We spent 2 nights here and were blown away by this incredible hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff could not have been more accommodating, helping us to settle into our unique room, providing assistance with local restaurants and ensuring all our comforts were met. All of the staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you, we will recommend this hotel to our friends and family if they are lucky enough to visit Matera.

Amazing experience- the staff were kind and helpful. The room was perfect- clean, stocked and had such character.|The breakfast spread was so plentiful and made accommodations for my food allergies; there was a man playing piano. Off the breakfast room you can travel down into the Sassi. |The location is perfect and we walked, A TON, everywhere.

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!

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.
