B&B Al Convento

Beautiful large cave room in the heart of the Sassi, close to everything historic. Great breakfast was served in a separate large cave, also supremely beautiful. Fantastic place in a fantastic location within walking distance of everything. Matera is absolutely must-see, recommend at least 2 nights.

Beautiful room, perfect location, wonderful hosts.

Shower was difficult to work

Unique and awesome place to stay in the heart of Matera! Caring and welcoming hosts (Enzo & Mima). Breakfast was great. Mima assisted us in arranging a taxi for both our arrival and departure. Enzo gave us lots of tips on how to maximize the 36 hours that we have in this place. (Thank you, Mima & Enzo) We highly recommend this place! Nothing

Breakfast was fantastic!

It is a great location to many restaurants and bars. Also very close to the scenic views.

B&B Al Convento provided a remarkable “cave” room that was both imaginatively conceived and well-appointed. Mimma and Enzo could not have been better hosts and the breakfast was expetuonal. The only minor complaint is that the hot water pressure could have been better/stronger.

Exceptional breakfast! Cool facilities to stay in a cave! Friendly staff!

We were a group of six with three rooms. Each room was better than the next! From the unique showers/baths to the comfortable beds. The location was within the Caveoso and was within walking distance to everything you would want. Nothing!

Everything! The owners are very hands on and so sweet. The location is priceless.

Welcoming, comfortable. Great hosts, breakfast excellent Nothing

This property was magical and the hosts could not have been more kind. What a unique and special experience to stay in an actual cave dating so far back in time. The furnishings were modern and minimal- a perfect complement to the natural cave surrounding so you could enjoy comfort while still experiencing the simplicity of the natural environment. The Sassi took my breath with its beauty, so I definitely recommend staying in that part of Matera. The hosts went above and beyond in many ways- communication was clear, they offered to store our bags after checkout, and the breakfast was astounding in taste and quantity. Fruits, bruschetta, breads, cheeses, meats, pastries, and more. And all served so generously and lovingly. I only wish we had stayed more days. I hope to go back. Nothing- it was perfection.

Absolutely everything! From the care of the host to the location and beauty of the room. Nothing. Everything was wonderful.

I cannot say enough good things about this stay and the amazing hosts. The hosts are incredible people and phenomenal hosts. The breakfast was so delicious and never ending. We truly felt like royalty staying here. We would love to come back to Matera just to stay here again. There is nothing to not like.

Unique experience. This is one of the best authentic accommodations you’ll ever have the pleasure of enjoying. Sleeping in a cave is fantastic and the room is super clean. The breakfast is worth the stay alone. The breakfast was incredible with a variety of food that is absolutely delicious. Nothing.

The breakfast was great! There was fresh fruits, scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, fresh juice, a lot! The host offered to drive us to the car park (because you are not allowed to bring vehicles inside the Sassi) at 730 am because the first bus leaves the Sassi for the parking lot at 745am. The B&B was very close to the main road where the last stop of the bus is and it took as just 2 minutes to walk to the property. The ambiance was OMG because it was a real cave dwelling! The interior was tastefully decorated. All amenities were complete and exceeding expectation. It felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. The room was made up everyday, with fresh towels provided everytime they make up the room. The hosts were super attentive and caring and were there when you needed them. Nothing! we could not ask for more.

Unique room that is definitely a cave, but warm and comfortable. Great breakfast. Lovely hosts.

Breakfast - the best we had on the whole trip. Home-made panna cotta, stracciatella bruschetta, fresh fruit. Room - it's a cave. Really gorgeous design and warm (we went in winter). We slept so well after a nice soak in the huge tub that we almost missed breakfast. Location - perfect. Right off the main piazza. Loads of shops nearby, but still a little recessed so as to not be noisy. Hosts - Mima and Enzo were so warm and kind. We arrived early, so we took a 10:30am group tour after quickly dropping our bags off. It's easy to get lost when in the Sasso Caveoso area for the first time and I was grateful for Mima escorting us to the tour meeting point. If we ever go back to Matera, we're DEFINITELY staying here again. Big luxury hotels don't have their level of personal touch. It was a little hard to find the first time. But after finding it, it was super easy (just behind Corte San Pietro, on the main street to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso).

Great breakfast. Excellent hosts.
