Cenobio Hotel & SPA Matera

We did lots of research on Matera before visiting and chose Cenobio mainly for its fantastic location and comparable value for money. The staff are all friendly and cannot do enough for you. All of the rooms are well equipped, with the range of rooms offered giving options on price points. We had a standard double room and also the hot tub suite, both were great! Breakfast was varied and a hot selection on request which was appreciated. The location was perfect, a few minutes from the cathedral square but also a just few steps down to the road around Matera with some great restaurants. The views from the hotel were stunningly beautiful. We could not fault the hotel and would recommend it as a wonderful base to explore Matera!

Location and staff were awesome. Especially Sammy who helped with pretty much everything from carrying our very heavy bags through the hot streets of Matera or translating our every request. The taxi driver picked us up from random locations as requested and helped us with picking finding post offices to try and send luggage - he was also such a lovely personality. Please treat them well!!

The room was spacious and comfortable. It was a real feast for the eyes. We have not stayed in a nicer hotel. Everything is thought out down to the last detail, authenticity intertwines with comfortable modernity. You can even see fossils in the ceiling and walls! Very comfortable bed, amazing shower and spa bath. The front desk is staffed by wonderful and helpful people. They can order you dinner at a selected restaurant, excursions, etc. We were particularly impressed by the breakfast buffet lady. Her warmth and smile made the all days special. Thank you very much! Shower facilities could be replenished more often (we stayed 4 nights). Could also be a couple of simple wine glasses (we only found two plastic ones, which were later thrown away by the maid). It doesn't matter if you choose the hotel for one or several nights, it will definitely not disappoint you. Both a great location and an exclusive interior and warm staff.

The location, the staff and in particular the room with the jacuzzi!

Although our stay was only one night, we couldn’t have been happier with our experience at the Cenobio. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. From booking us reservations at restaurants to organizing parking for us, the staff made everything extremely stress free! Ask for Betty or Mario! The location couldn’t be better in terms of sight seeing, shopping, restaurants and bars. We will definitely be back and for a longer stay next time!
