“Amazing apartment”

Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts at Residence San Giorgio. Friendly and helpful, they had thought of pretty much everything for the stylish and comfortable apartment in the beautiful old Sassi part of town.

“Perfect Hotel in Downtown Matera”

The Residence San Giorgio is an amazing place to stay in an amazing place. The rooms are full of character, are beautifully decorated, and are very comfortable. Our room had a loft where the bed was, a kitchen, a living area...everything you could want. It is located in the very center of the Sassi with good restaurants very close-by. Walking distance to all of the local sites. The owner/operators are sweet and helpful. I really felt like I lived in Matera, rather than like a guest in a Hotel.

“Unique”

It was a fun little place and a completely unique experience. You truly are staying in a cave. It was wonderfully remodelled with a nice bathroom and lots of space. Be warned though, because you are sleeping in a cave it WILL be very humid. They had a dehumidifier set up in the room before we got there and it still felt like we were sleeping on a leaking water bed. That isn't their fault but rather just an observation of the nature of sleeping in a cave.

“Comfortable Cavern in Matera!!”

The large room and separate bath was actually a mini-apartment with a kitchen corner. Clean, with upscale furnishing, jacuzzi and high tech shower in the bath. We stayed one night, but this would have been a good place to spend a weekend. Parking is problemmatical for travelers with cars -- we parked illegally, which is ok on a weekday during the off-season. Note that breakfast is not included, although there is coffee and tea for that do it yourself jump start in the morninng. You can shop as you walk through the sassi, and practice your Italian cooking skills , or you can eat at one of several nearby trattorias. Finally, for the exercise challenged, note that the actual sleeping quarters are a good hike up the hill from the advertised checkin location.
