Guest Reviews

• Leah (10/5): Magical Cave Experience - The apartment is a magical experience. Contained everything we needed, comfortable bed, good location, friendly and welcoming host - met us when we arrived and showed us through the apartment. Highly recommend the paid parking option with shuttle. Thank you for the restaurant recommendation Da Vino - a beautiful meal. Absolutely nothing!
• Krzak (10/5): - Nous avons adoré ce logement de charme et atypique. Sans doute le plus spectaculaire que nous avons fait.
• Elisabetta Gusso (9/5): Esperienza da fare almeno una volta nella vita - Esperienza unica Nulla
• Lisa (10/5): Unique and Special Stay - We really enjoyed our one night stay at Grotta Barisano. Our host was very communicative regarding directions to the apartment from the recommended parking garage, including photos to help guide us. This was very helpful as navigating Matera can be very confusing! He met us at the apartment to help us get settled and even left a special treat when he learned we were celebrating a special anniversary. Apartment was spacious, spotless and unique!
• Hyesuk (10/5): -
• Olivier (10/5): A must-do on your bucket list! - We had an awesome experience at Grotta Barisano! Being at the heart of the old Matera, in a real Sassi, is amazing. The "apartment" itself is gorgeous, unique, romantic, peaceful and relaxing. Special thanks to Emanuele for his kindness and appetite to share his love of the history of this unique site.
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Magali (10/5): - Expérience magique, appartement très spacieux et sans aucun bruit la nuit avec Emmanuele très aidant, tout était parfait ! Rien !!
• David (10/5): Wonderful stay, very comfortable! Huge room in a cave! Awesome!! - Amazing! Beautiful!! Extremely unique hotel and especially large for this region. Very attentive manager. Bed, room temperature, hot water, wifi… everything worked perfectly, while being greatly located and in such a unique hotel!! Would highly recommend!!! N/A
• Ilana (9/5): -
• LEANNA (10/5): Grazie all’host che con la sua preparazione e amore per la sua terra è riuscito a trasmetterci ciò che di bello ce in qu - Una struttura caratteristica, finemente ristrutturata ma che chiaramente riesce a far rivivere l’esperienza di vivere all’interno dei sassi.
• Leïla (10/5): Magnifique - L'endroit est juste incroyable! La beauté de la grotte aménagée avec talent et beaucoup de goût Absolument rien
• Valérie (10/5): Impressionnant ! - Le dépaysement total! Le logement est très original ,on se croit hors du temps et c’est très agréable ..Ttes grand espace mais effet cocooning avec lumière tamisée. A refaire Accueil très gentil d’Emanuele qui se rend disponible très rapidement Rien
• Sara (10/5): Fascino in grotta - La grotta ha un fascino incredibile. La ristrutturazione ha, infatti, mantenuto la struttura antica ma con una attenzione al gusto e ai minimi particolari. Abbiamo molto apprezzato la calda accoglienza di Emanuele, la sua disponibilità e le informazioni che ci ha fornito sulla grotta Posizione centrale nel Sasso Barisano Visto il livello del struttura, avrei gradito qualche prodotto in più per il bagno e di tisaneria
• Laureana (10/5): Outstanding Cave home - One of the most amazing places I have ever stayed in! Beautiful, has everything you could need. What a great experience. Luxury cave dwelling!! I loved the experience.
• Roberto (10/5): -
• Francesco (10/5): -
• Sara (10/5): Grotta da sogno - La grotta è davvero bellissima, ampia e curata nei minimi dettagli. Il tutto è suggestivo e sembra di stare in una realtà parallela. Pulizia impeccabile. Si trova a pochi passi da tutto, essendo immersa nei sassi di Matera. Emanuele è stato molto presente nella comunicazione, consigliando ristoranti o spa. Consigliato per chi vuole provare qualcosa di diverso.
• elisabetta (10/5): - Che dire...non posso dare 11 ...quindi 10 ...la perfezione assoluta ...comincio con l'accoglienza di Emanuele di una gentilezza pazzesca e poi con l'appartamento nella grotta di una bellezza che non mi è mai capitato di vedere oltre alla particolarità del posto anche l'arredamento è di alta qualità...e c'è tutto quelli che serve e anche di più complimenti !Oltre a questo è anche in un'ottima posizione per cominciare la passeggiata tra i sassi e visitare il centro storico ...... Tutto perfetto
• John (10/5): A beautiful cave experience in a perfect location. - Grotta Barisano was the perfect stay in Matera! It was a beautiful spacious cave experience . It was all I had hoped for.
• Alessio (10/5): -
• Robert (10/5): -
• YINGHAN (9/5): -
• Georg (9/5): -
• Cathleen (10/5): It was a WOW stay! - Aesthetically beautiful cave! Thoroughly modern and comfortable and one of a kind. Hospitalty was great. Handover was in person with advice on exploring Matera. The parking garage option seemed pricey, but they provided a bit more service than a normal parking garage. The hosts did offer less expensive options, we chose what we thought was most convenient.
• Johann Josef (10/5): Romantische Tuffsteinhöhle in den Sassi von Matera - Wunderschöne historische Wohnhöhle inmitten der Sassi von Matera. Das ist mal was ganz besonderes in solch einer Tuffsteinhöhle zu leben - einfach ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis. Die Wohnhöhle ist per Code zu öffnen und direkt in unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es Lokale und Restaurants. Parken kann man dort nicht - am besten parkt man im Parkhaus Sant Isidoro und kostet 20 Euro den Tag. Vom Parkhaus geht man ca. 35 Minuten bis zur Wohnhöhle, aber es ist ohne Probleme zu machen. Matera selbst bietet so viel an Sehenswürdigkeiten , das man hier alleine mehrere Tage verbringen kann, ohne das Langeweile aufkommt. Matera ist nicht umsonst Unesco-Weltkulturerbe und die Lage der Sassi ist unglaublich faszinierend und beindruckend zugleich. Über viele Treppen kann man die Sassi mit Kirchen und Kapellen, Grotten und Höhlen unter der Stadt kennenlernen - ein unvorstellbares tolles Erlebnis diese Stadt. Auch ein Wanderung in die Schlucht und über eine Hängebrücke über dem Fluss auf die gegenüberliegenden Höhen ist wunderschön. Man wird mit einem wahnsinnigen Blick auf die Stadt belohnt. Auf jeden Fall lohnen sich auch Ausflüge in die Calanchi-Mondlandschaft zwischen Alliano und Pisticci oder die Geisterstadt Craco ist auch toll. Sehr eindrucksvoll sind die Felsen-Dörfer Castelmezzano und Pietrapertosa - das muss man einfach gesehen haben. Es gibt noch andere Schluchten-Orte, wo die Altstadt am Rande einer Gravina-Schlucht liegt, wie z.b. Gravina-Puglia oder Laterza. Matera ist einfach unbeschreiblich schön und für mich die schönste Altstadt die ich kennenlernen durfte und diese Wohnhöhle ist besonders gut als Ausgangspunkt dafür. Es waren wunderschöne Tage in Matera und in der Basilikata.
• Alessandro (10/5): Amazingly beautiful - Tutto, ogni dettaglio Nulla in particolare
• Amanda (10/5): - A Grotta Barisano é excepcional. Superou as nossas expectativas. O anfitrião foi muito atencioso, a localização é ótima, foi fácil conseguir achar a hospedagem e a caverna é tudo aquilo que aparece nas fotos e mais um pouco. Escolheriamos novamente essa hospedagem, com certeza.
• Joanna (10/5): Bardzo przyjemne klimatyczne wnętrze pięknie wyremontowane i wykończone - Klimatyczne wnętrze
• amedeo91 (10/5): CONSIGLIATISSIMO!! - UNA ESPERIENZA INDIMENTICABILE! alloggio magnifico e host davvero disponibile! Se dovessi tornare a matera questa struttura sarebbe la primissima che sceglierei
• Rena Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing! - Amazing and cozy It was a little tricky to get to by car.
• Jeton (10/5): -
• Julian (10/5): Beautiful and exceptional place to stay in the heart of Sassi! - Everything! Nothing was bad. Just sugar would’ve been nice.
• FEDERICA (10/5): - Tutto perfetto dall' accoglienza alla struttura. L' appartamento è qualcosa di unico, le foto non rendono la bellezza e particolarità del posto
• Picone (10/5): -
• Maria (10/5): - Grotta Barisano è un'esperienza da fare e che valorizza la visita alla città di Matera. Di certo visitare la città dei sassi e avere il privilegio di poterci dormire è un qualcosa di eccezionale. Intanto la location è strepitosa, collocazione dentro uno dei due sassi della città di Matera e poi anche la gentilezza,la cortesia e la preziosa disponibilità di Emanuele, hanno contribuito a rendere davvero al top questo piccolo viaggio. Se torneremo non esiteremo a confermare lo stesso alloggio e lo raccomandiamo vivamente. Non è possibile segnalare nulla, è stato tutto perfetto, oltre le aspettative.
• Susan (10/5): Modern in Matera! - This was a gorgeous and unique property! While the town is ancient and historic, the apartment is spacious and modern. Even though I'd seen the pictures when I booked, I wasn't prepared for the scope of the rooms. Soaring ceilings, modern furnishings, great lighting and a friendly host. I'm sorry we couldn't stay longer!
• Konstantin (10/5): -
• Hao (9/5): 仿佛穿越千年，终身难忘 - 这间民宿开在具有千年历史的岩石洞穴里，没有太多的后期人工修饰，能够让人感受到真实原始的洞穴生活体验。房间内设施齐备、设计感强，整体氛围营造得非常好！总的来说这是一次难忘的入住体验！推荐给计划来马泰拉的朋友们！ WiFi 网络信号需要加强
• Siranna (10/5): Stay in a cave! - Uniqueness! Staying in a cave is a lifetime experience. The location is fantastic and walkable to everywhere. Once you are in the Old Town, there are no stairs. (Getting in and out is another story.) The bed is comfy, and the shower has nice water pressure. The kitchen counter and table are ridiculously high. The bar stools are metal and unfortunate. I don't like eating or having morning espresso on the couch...but we did. (First-world problems...)
• Adribel (10/5): -
• Eva (10/5): Matera & Grotto Barisano was a highlight of our trip. The accommodation is wonderful, unique, comfortable and spacio - A unique experience to stay in a cave. Nothing, everything was great.
• Thierry (10/5): super - comme tous les autres commentaires: Fantastique
• Marina Studach (8/5): - kein Frühstück. Sehr schön eingerichtet. Es ist wirklich eine Höhle, darum auch kaum Tageslicht und ein wenig muffig. Aber dieses Erlebnis sucht man ja.
• PEI-YU (10/5): -
• lucy (9/5): Special place to stay in matera - Amazing cave room with all the modern facilities the deco and furnishings were top class , comfortable rooms with all the necessary equipment, near restaurants. Hard to find , wish host had arranged an easier meeting point , lots of biting bugs to be expected in a cave I guess .
• Angela Och (10/5): Hervorragend - Klare Empfehlung, super Kontakt mit dem Besitzer. Top Einrichtung, alles super sauber und angenehm warm. Die Lage ist 1A besser geht es gar nicht! Würden sofort wieder kommen.
• Cameron (10/5): The perfect stay in Sassi di Matera - close to everything, easy to find and brilliant accommodation - I couldn't have hoped for a better location, apartment, facilities and hosts. Emmanuel was absolutely faultless, and when I return to Matera I am definitely staying at Grotto Barisano again Nothing to dislike here.
• Myriam (10/5): Tout Emplacement charme de la grotte parfait - La Grotte d’Emmanuel est tout simplement géniale et Emmanuel aussi ! Son logement, est juste incroyable. Je pense sincèrement que c’est le meilleur hébergement que j’ai eu dans les Pouilles — et pourtant, on en a fait de magnifiques. Mais celui-ci a largement dépassé toutes nos attentes ! Il y a plein de petits détails qui font la différence : le chauffage, les superbes lumières, la douche très agréable, le lit hyper confortable, sans oublier le plaid douillet et Netflix pour se détendre. Un immense merci, Emmanuel, pour la délicate attention envers ma maman — encore une fois, au-delà de nos attentes. L’accueil était parfait : Emmanuel est attentionné, disponible, vraiment aux petits soins. Je le recommande à 1000 % ! Grâce à lui, nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux. On aurait adoré rester plus longtemps, mais le logement était déjà réservé… et on comprend pourquoi ! C’est certain : si on revient à Matera, ce sera notre adresse incontournable. Rien tout été parfait et aussi un emplacement au top
• John (10/5): - A great place to stay in Matera, it’s easy to get to, is comfortable and it’s a novelty staying in a cave-like room. Plenty of space, lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. We would stay there again if we came back to Matera Nothing
• Elisabeth (10/5): A fantastic place to Explore the Sassis - Grotta Barisano is really outstanding! - A fantastic and modern Appartement with all you Need in an outstanding surrounding. Many Restaurants nearby . The owner was so Kind and aaranged in advance a Parking lot and the Transfer to Grotta Barisano. We were absolutely satisfied and can recommend Grotta Barisano in any way. Thanks so much for a Great stay!
• Cristian (10/5): - Todo, muy recomendable
• Namkyung (10/5): - 최고입니다. 사진에서 볼때보다 훨씬 아름답고, 마테라의 매력을 즐기기에 더없이 훌륭합니다. 시설도 깨끗하고 정돈되어 있어, 쾌적하게 머무를 수 있습니다! 추천합니다 :)
• Rosetta (10/5): - It was a perfect location right in the heart of old Matera. The room was fantastic. Very big and comfortable The lighting in bathroom wasn't good for makeup

• Filippo (10/5): -
• Igor (10/5): We would go again! What a wonderful experience and apartment, right in the heart of Matera. - What a unique and special apartment experience and (cave) home in the Matera Sassi. The town and that apartment was just breathtaking. Loved it all. For a romantic couples getaway this place, this city, this experience can't be beat. There was nothing wrong with this place.
• KooTar (10/5): スタイリッシュで素敵な洞窟部屋 - マテーラの洞窟ホテルはどこも割高でしたが、ここはリーズナブルに泊まれてありがたかったです。 非常に広々としていて、洞窟の良さを活かしたスタイリッシュなデザインのお部屋でした。 オーナーさんに関しても、バス停からの送迎シャトルの手配もしてもらい大変親切でした。 全くありません。
• Valente (9/5): -
• Alex (10/5): -
• Albu (10/5): Cazare excelenta. - Cazare inedita,foarte curata,foarte modern amenajata. Destul de rece in camera. Un aparat de facut cafea putin mai familiar.
• Mathilde (10/5): Une nuit dans un lieu féerique - La grotte atypique, spacieuse, pleine de charme et très bien équipée. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter matera
• Francesco (10/5): -
• Ornella (9/5): -
• Bent (10/5): -
• Dirk (9/5): -
• Jordi (10/5): Schitterende accomodatie in een eeuwenoude stad. - Wat een schitterende accommodatie! Midden in het eeuwenoude plaatsje. Erg leuk en pittoreske kamer! Met alle faciliteiten en lekker ruim. Het enige nadeel is dat als je na 10 uur aankomt met de koffers moet slepen. Maar dat maakte de accommodatie en de ligging ruimschoots goed. Leuke host die met tips en trics kwam. Niets alles top!
• Valvassori (10/5): Esperienza unica - Grotta Barisano è semplicemente stupenda. È un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile. Dotata di ogni tipo di elettrodomestico moderno. Il signor Emanuele ci ha accolto con gentilezza ed estrema disponibilità. Ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni necessarie per goderci al meglio il nostro soggiorno a Matera. Nulla
• Simone (10/5): Un’esperienza indimenticabile in una splendida grotta sapientemente arredata, nel cuore di Matera, con posizione perfett - Soggiornare in questo appartamento è stata un’esperienza unica: una vera grotta sapientemente ristrutturata, con arredi curati e ogni comfort moderno. La posizione è perfetta per esplorare Matera a piedi e vivere appieno la magia dei Sassi. Il proprietario è stato estremamente gentile e sempre disponibile, rendendo il nostro soggiorno ancora più piacevole. Assolutamente consigliato!
• Antonio (10/5): Esperienza unica - L'accoglienza di Emanuele,ad ora di pranzo tral'altro, è stata ottima. Ci ha argomentato la storia di Matera e della Grotta Barisano rivisitata in chiave moderna, consigliandoci inoltre con cartina della città davanti, i luoghi e l'itinerario più caratteristico della città. Dormire in questa struttura è stata un'esperienza unica. Consiglio di portare bagagli leggeri per arrivare alla struttura, dato che Matera è per lo più strutturata con gradini scivolosi con salite e discese. Assolutamente niente
• Jonathan (10/5): -
• Colleen (10/5): Quiet, comfortable and a special place - Quiet, spacious and clean. Great location. Friendly and helpful host with some fantastic suggestions for things to see and restaurants to eat at. Very comfortable bed! With large bags it’s important to listen to the advice of the host and get a transfer to the apartment. We walked with 2 large wheeled bags and Matera is not a city to wheel bags with all the cobblestones and steps. The transfers to the apartment are affordable, with lots of options. Nothing. A great experience staying in a ‘cave’ in Matera
• SungIm (10/5): 무조건 강추입니다! - 주인분이 친절하시고 침실, 주방, 화장실, 공기청정기, 에어컨 등등 모든 시설들이 거의 완벽했어요. 사씨지구 안에서 좋은 뷰를 찾아갈 최적의 위치는 더 강점입니다 음.. 특별히 아쉬웠던 점은 없는듯 해요. 공항 가기전 체크아웃 후 시간이 좀 떠 있었는데 조금 더 머무르도록 배려해주신 것도 너무 감사합니다
• SATOSHI (10/5): - センスの良い内装でした。サッシ地区の1番遠くて、低いところにあり、行きは下りだがスーツケース持っていくのに苦労した。帰りは朝10時まではZTLが解除され、車を宿の前まで入れられて問題なかった。色々親切に教えてくれた USB充電できるコンセントがあると良いと思います
• C. (10/5): - Everything! This was one of the most memorable stays ever!
• Geoffrey (10/5): - Brilliant character apartment, recommended for your stay in Matera
• Melissa (10/5): - Such an amazing place. Unique. Very modern facilities inside. Everything that you need. We were met and shown around the property and given a tourist map and advice on what to see, which was very helpful. An amazing experience. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
• Arno (9/5): Fantastisch - Erg mooi, modern maar toch authentiek. Midden in het centrum Alles aanwezig Niks
• Eva (10/5): - Amazing apartment built into the rock – modern and fully equipped. One of the best places we've ever stayed at. Emanuele was very helpful.
• Okag13 (10/5): Se estiver disponível, fique!!! - De tudo. Lugar lindo, móveis novos, cama confortável, localização excelente, facilidade no check in
• Loren (10/5): Modern comfort in historic cave - The pictures don’t do this place justice.. it’s incredible and so well designed, set up with all the technology.. all while being in a historic cave! Nothing, it was perfect!
• ShuWei (10/5): -
• T (10/5): Exceptional accommodation, has the wow factor, would highly recommend, don’t hesitate to book! - The accommodation exceed our expectations. Emanuele was an amazing host, knowledgeable, and assisted with everything. The attention to detail is absolutely incredible. The little touches, make the stay so much better. I would highly recommend this accommodation and would certainly stay again. Matera was simply amazing! Thank you.
• Enrico (10/5): -
• Dan (10/5): Great to stay in the sassi in a very modern, well equipped apartment. - Very spacious and beautifully decorated. Location was excellent and host was very helpful.
• Cindy (10/5): -
• Katrina (10/5): A very unique experience! - Emanuele was a great host, really enjoyed his introduction to Matera when we arrived. He provided very good instructions on how to get there, as Matera can be a little difficult navigating. Totally unique experience to stay in a cave…but with all the home comforts added! We loved everything
• Paula (9/5): -
• Patrick (9/5): - Fabuleux
• Hollie (10/5): - This Apartment was absolutely beautiful. I could live in it. Such an awesome experience to be in a cave with such excellent decor. Couldn’t have had a better experience . Nothing
