Sant'Angelo Luxury Resort

Great hotel. We stayed at the residences. We were upgraded so I can’t really say what the value for money would be if we weren’t, but the room we received was fantastic. Well decorated, recently renovated, great position and view. A cute little house to ourselves. Could not have asked for more. Breakfast had a good selection, of good quality and was placed in a beautiful room. Not quite a criticism, but rather a note for this type of hotel, we did have strangers sitting on our doorstep taking calls, or generally talking at 1am. A little unnerving, but they left after being asked to. It’s not something the hotel can do much about, but it is a consequence of running such a dispersed hotel.

From the moment we arrived at this stunning 5-star hotel in Matera, we felt that we are somewhere special. My Fiancé and I just got engaged, and we knew that this hotel will offer not only luxurious comfort but also a truly authentic Italian experience, during such a special time for us. |The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They took extra care of us seeing me being 7 months pregnant. |We got the room with privet balcony, overlooking the stunning view over hills and old town center. Spacious, elegant and beautiful in its simplicity, reflected the hotel’s commitment to excellence.||One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was meeting the owner, Biagio. A true gentleman who embodies the spirit of hospitality. Passion for His hotel and for making us feel special, was evident in every detail—from the way he greeted us, to the way He personally make sure we were perfectly look after. Biagio’s presence gave the hotel a soul; he didn’t just run a luxury establishment—he created a home away from home.|It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely devoted to make sure that His Guests and their comfort come first. He left lasting impression on us… |This hotel truly exceeded our expectations in every way.|We’re already dreaming of our next visit! Hopefully next year with our little one.||Thank you Biagio! 🙂

The hotel enjoys an exceptional location with truly breathtaking views. Our check-in experience was very pleasant, and we appreciated the professionalism of the staff. However, on the day of our arrival, the temperature was 37°C, and we were surprised to find that the room was equipped only with a bathtub and no shower. Moreover, the switch to activate the handheld shower was not functioning, and it took the staff member approximately 15 minutes to adjust it. We were informed that we would need assistance again to switch it back, which was rather inconvenient. Additionally, we were quite disappointed by our experience in the hotel restaurant. When we sat down and asked for the dessert menu, we were told that desserts could not be ordered unless we first ordered main courses. This policy felt unnecessarily restrictive and left us with a negative impression of the service.

The setting was excellent as was the parking arrangement. We would never stay here again. I carefully studied top end hotels in Matera and selected this one. We've stayed in Small Luxury Hotels affiliated hotels in the past and have always had great stays. This hotel was engaging and responsive before our arrival. The parking solution both seemed good and worked flawlessly. The hotel greeting once we reached the property was good and the room looked nice. It was only in the evening that we realized we had issues. First the room never got cool. Second, we had no hot water in the shower. We called down to the office and after 4 tries finally reached someone. They said it could only be looked at the next day as it was too late. They did come to inspect the issues and take a video. We sweated all night. The next morning a maintenance person did come to the room. The water was marginally made better. The room never got really cool. Ever. And they said that's just how it works. Every other hotel in this trip to Italy has had excellent air conditioning. Some of those hotels were a fraction of the cost of S. Angelo. As for breakfast, it is in a lovely restaurant up the hill from the main street. The restaurant is beautiful. The food is buffet style with only coffee able to be ordered. It's as though the hotel just forgets about the importance of guest engagement. Nobody ever asked how the food was or if we needed anything else. I am just perplexed how this can be such a beautiful place with mediocre service. Hindsight we should have checked out after the first night. Maybe other rooms are great, with no issues. Maybe this type of non-service is what people expect. When we did check out there was no query about our stay. Nobody asked if our issues were resolved. It's as if they don't care. Please consider this and look elsewhere. We will not stay here again.

Absolutely incredible location and a beautiful hotel with their rooms set into the cliff side. Our room was a former cave and was simple and elegant we loved it. Outside our room was a lovely seating area over looking the beautiful church. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choices and also had oat milk (thank you) |We went to their restaurant 1 evening the service is fantastic and the food wonderful. It is quite expensive but you expect this at a 5 star hotel. We’d hope to sit outside but unfortunately it rained but the inside is stunning being a former large cave. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus to and from the carpark (parking Sant’ Isidore) booking done through hotel costs €20 a night. Only residents cars are allowed into Matera.

From the moment we were greeted at our car park at brought to the hotel until the time we were dropped off after our stay, we could not have asked for better service. Everyone was welcoming, prompt to take care of any concerns that we had, and always available. We so enjoyed our stay. We opted for a non-cave room instead had a more modern room with an outdoor patio that gave us amazing views of the old Matera, especially in the evening. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Simply superb. Brilliant location, carefully restored and preserved. We had a cave room with patio, spacious with the most comfortable beds!|The staff were the stars of the show, always willing to help and go the extra mile. A special mention for Flavia on Reception, really made our two-night stay (which is one night less than ideal) truly memorable. we will be back!

Stayed at one of the small luxury hotels of the world in Matera, but it did not feel luxurious as the shower (no bath) was uncomfortably small.|I am maybe 5kg overweight, but maneuvering in the shower was difficult even for my slimmer wife with her Zumba and Pilates skills. And do not drop anything on the shower floor as recovery is difficult||The WiFi kept dropping and the worst I have seen in awhile as it was also slow.|The view is marvelous and the narrow balcony somewhat usable when it was not raining. |Our traveling companions all extolled the wonderfulness of their rooms while ours was very unremarkable. Later some would complain about the lack of adequate airflow. ||So pick your room wisely and only ask for room 55i if you want a great view and a really small shower.|And do not ask for a checkout after the standard 10:30AM as 5 minutes of discussion might only lead to a 11am checkout and some aggravation.||The restaurant was very good and the staff at the restaurant and other staff are a really helpful and a pleasant group as were most of the staff.
