Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Thermae Romanae

The place was perfect: central, close to nice restaurants and bars, well decorated, nice staff, great SPA (worth the 25 EUR fee to access it!) and what a great breakfast buffet! Do choose the suites, they really are worth the extra price. They were all booked for our second night and so we had to move to a standard room and it wasn’t as great.

Awesome place, right in the heart of the old town, very nice room and great to wake up having a beautiful view of the town in the morning. Very quite place, clean, helpful staff and fantastic the SPA, it’s definitely worth it a visit. I will be back there and I strongly suggest it.

absolutely amazing!! cave life is the best life, felt like a luxury thieves' hole in the best sense. hit the spa for some R&R, very high grade. the breakfast and coffee in the morning are choice ✨🤘✨

The dirt from the cave sifted down onto the bed and floor. Bathroom was cramped. Barely able to fit through the shower door. Mold on the bathroom ceiling was disquieting. For a place that sells themselves on their service, their service was TERRIBLE! View was magnificent! Location was unbeatable! Breakfast was really good. Maneuvering up and down stairs was very difficult so be aware!

This multi-level cave hotel is located into the hillside of the Sasso Caveoso District of Matera. We had stayed in a similar setting in Cappadocia, Turkey and were excited to make a comparison. Located near the Church of San Martino and abutting the city center. Due to its being multi-level, it has a series of balconies that proivde a view of the Barisano. Care was taken to preserve the original homes from which this hotel has been assembled. An unexpected and wild feature is the addition of a thermal bath within the confines of this establishment that is open to all as you do not have to have booked a room to partake of the facilities. i might add that the complementary breakfast is unusual and varied. We happened to be at the hotel with a group visiting from Korea who were allowed to use kitchen facilities to prepare noodle and kimchi dishes that they willingly offered to share with us. What an unexpected treat. The "Thermae" (spa complex), although at an extra cost, is definitely worth a visit. The three sections of the swimming pool are in a cave that stretches ever deeper into the hillside. With colored lights dedicated to the temperature of each location, one went from green (cold pool), to blue (rest area), orange (hot tub) and red (steam room). The mosaics on the floors and walls definitely resembled those in a Roman bath and were artfully done, The staff was very helpful and master masseuses. This hotel - bathhouse is definitely on my revisit list.

Fantastic experience!
