"Hotel was perfect location for the price just outside of a matera and only a 10 minute drive to the historic sassi area Floors in the washroom were peeling from use and showers had a bit of mold on the bottom edges for the price can't be beat with the free breakfast"

"Located in the old town of Matera, I got lost when navigating, but after finding it, I found that the location is very good and close to various attractions. I strongly recommend trying the hotel's dinner, which is worth recommending. You must wear a swimsuit for the SPA, but I didn't bring it with me so I didn't experience it, which was a pity."

"It was an unusual experience. First of all, the receptionist was very kind and checked me in early. The hotel was clean, and I enjoyed the unique, pleasant feeling of staying in a cave throughout my visit. The breakfast was simple; the only thing I didn't like was that the kettle contained warm water instead of boiling water—tea really requires boiling water. I would stay at this hotel again. Thank you.🤩"

"Charming hotel"

"Decent, OK"

"We had a wonderful stay at this property during our recent trip to Matera. The accommodations were absolutely lovely — our room was spotless and beautifully chic, with thoughtful design touches that made it feel both stylish and comfortable. The breakfast spread each morning was a real highlight — a delicious array of options that set us up perfectly for a day of exploring the Sassi. And the staff went above and beyond throughout our stay, warm, attentive, and genuinely excellent from check-in to check-out. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Matera — we’d stay again in a heartbeat."

"When you go to Matera, if you're planning to stay in one of the old town's neighborhoods, the Sassi, the Vetera Matera is in the Sasso Barisano, I believe. Basically, to put it simply, you can choose between a hotel on the canyon side or the other side with the Vetera Matera. Having explored the site, waking up to the sights of the entire village was a real treat. I don't think I would have experienced that from the canyon side. As you can see, this hotel is very well located and extremely well-appointed, with air conditioning throughout. The materials used are beautiful, and the construction is impeccable, done by artisans I wish I had in Paris if needed :-). For parking, don't hesitate to leave your car at the partner garage for €50 per day, but everything is perfect, including round-trip transfers. You can ask a member of the garage staff to contact the hotel if you don't have internet access or a data plan if there are no taxis available. The staff were all very friendly, and some spoke French. The superior room was superb and quiet, with a very comfortable king-size bed and a large flat-screen TV with French channels. It had a balcony with a 180° view of the city—a real treat every morning. The bathroom was equally lovely and comfortable, with a walk-in shower. Complimentary bottled water was provided daily, but other amenities were extra. It's worth noting that while some hotels in Puglia offer a minibar, the Vetera Matera does not. The air conditioning worked well, but it's impossible to adjust it yourself; you have to call a technician, which is inconvenient—the only drawback. Breakfast wasn't extensive, but those who travel a bit know that hotels today have significantly reduced their breakfast offerings, and it's no longer the impressive experience it was 15 or 20 years ago. So, it's good, but nothing particularly remarkable. There's a standard breakfast menu with hot drinks, fruit juice, sweets, eggs, etc., and some dishes are available upon request for an extra charge. There are no surprises, unlike what I've read in some reviews. You can stay in the restaurant or have breakfast in the lovely patio. The spa offers 90 minutes per stay and is excellent, with a magnificent jacuzzi in a grotto, a cold plunge pool for legs, an experience shower, a solarium, a sauna, and more. The terrace bar is a must-visit in the evening to see the city at night. The bartenders are fantastic and friendly, and the cocktail selection is simple yet original. In short: no hesitation, everything is very good and beautiful. Thank you for the warm welcome and this wonderful stay."

"We had an amazing stay at Lo Stemma Hotel. The staff was wonderful and Camilla was incredibly helpful and responsive when we emailed them. She made sure we had everything we needed and gave great recommendations for exploring the city and where to eat. The hotel is modern, clean, and comfortable, with stylish rooms. The location is perfect and a short walk to the Sassi and many great restaurants and shops. Breakfast was very good, offering a nice variety of items to start the day. Overall, Lo Stemma Hotel provided the perfect base for discovering Matera. We highly recommend."

"Very nice place with great potential, but the service is a bit disorganized overall. Nothing special, though."
