Top Matera Hotel Reviews

Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

10/10 Excellent
"A great hotel in the heart of Matera, with an excellent location for exploring the city. The room was a decent size and included a fridge, although it would have been nice to have complimentary water provided. Great Italian-style breakfast with a huge selection of options and plenty of choice. The hotel also offers spa facilities for €25 per person for 1.5 hours. We felt that 1.5 hours was a little too short to fully enjoy everything the spa has to offer, including the saunas, relaxation areas and pool. However, the atmosphere was very authentic and added to the overall experience. Overall, a great hotel in a fantastic location, and we really enjoyed our stay."
