Il Palazzotto I Residence & Winery - The D'Angelo Family Collection

Il Palazzoto is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the Sassi. Despite worrying about all the steps in the Sassi with luggage, the taxi dropped me essentially in front of the hotel – gentle steps up to reception. My room wasn’t actually a cave room it was in a separate section of the hotel, but it was beautifully appointed, spacious, and warm! (It was freezing that week!). The breakfast room was in a cave, and it was a lovely buffet spread complete with cappuccino. The reception staff were very helpful, and overall, I wish I had stayed longer than 2 nights. Matera is fascinating!!

Should have stayed longer.

Location was perfect in quiet section of historic district. Short walk to cathedral above, restaurants, shops, hiking trail. Cave room exceeded our expectations, architecture, furnishings modern and lovely, enjoyed the large shower, ambiance and breakfast buffet spread impressive. Loved eating in the cave.

What an exquisite and memorable property! The breakfast in the breakfast cave alone is worth the stay. The rooms are indescribably beautiful and unusual. Don’t miss the chance to book here

Fabulous location. We had a car, and it was super easy to park in town at the place recommended by the staff, where we got a shuttle van right to the hotel in old Matera. Room was beautiful “cave” with extraordinary lighting and amenities. Staff was warm and extremely helpful.

Nothing not to like.

המקום מדהים מבחינת נראות ! לגמרי חוויה מושלמת בתוך מערה. חדרים ברמה ממש גבוהה וצוות אדיב. החדרים גדולים ועם מיטה גדולה ונוחה מאוד. חימום בחדר שעובד מעולה. נקיון ברמה שלא פגשנו עדיין ! ממליצים לטעום את היינות שלהם. הארוחת בוקר הייתה טעימה מאוד ומגוונת. מרגיש מאוד אישי ומוקפד. הצוות היה אדיב ועוזר בכל דבר שהיינו צריכים. המסעדה של המלון ממש שווה ביקור. אוכל מעולה ! מיקום מדהים וממש מרכזי בתוך העיר העתיקה. במרחק הליכה לכל רחוב מרכזי או אטרקציה.

Camera molto bella, confortevole, curata nei dettagli, con una atmosfera calda che, abbinata ad affaccio suggestivo dal balcone, ha reso il soggiorno speciale. Staff molto accogliente e gentile, apprezzata la degustazione di vino all'arrivo. Posizione ottimale.

Solo un piccolissimo appunto sulla colazione, migliorabile con una scelta maggiore di prodotti locali/artigianali.

Matera is a fairytale UNESCO dream come to life. After an easy hour’s drive from Bari, we found ourselves in a city carved into the "Sassi" rock formations, and staying at Il Palazzotto was the highlight of our trip. This is an architectural marvel. Sleeping here feels like being inside a piece of art. Our room was a masterclass in design: think lights and taps emerging directly from the ancient stone in a way that feels both frugal and incredibly sophisticated. What truly sets this place apart is the D’Angelo family and their staff. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a welcome glass of wine, we felt less like guests and more like pampered family members. A special shout-out to Antonio and his staff, who was incredibly helpful with local tips and organizing our luggage shuttle. The common living area where breakfast is served is breathtaking; it’s a stunning carved space where you can enjoy local delicacies served with genuine care. For dinner, don't miss their sister spot, Radino Wine Bar. The tasting menu was delicious and they were wonderful about catering to gluten-free needs. If you want a soul-stirring, artistic experience rather than a standardized hotel stay, this is it. We’re already counting the days until we can return.

nothing honestly.

Location, cleanliness and hospitality

Nothing that I can think of

Excellent and extremely friendly service. We felt very taken care of. The room was absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. Everything was perfect
