Fantastic hotel
We had an incredible stay here. The staff were so helpful and very responsive. Damiano is an asset to the hotel.
We stayed in the room with a terrace , the terrace is large and had the most wonderful view.
We made use of the private spa and massages which was an amazing experience.
The hotel is a short walk ( down quite a few steps) from the main part of the old town. Quiet at night but close to all the sites.
Would highly recommend.

Best location, rooms and staff amazing !
Fantastic place to stay! Great price! Beautiful view! Amazing Room & staff especially Mario , fantastic personality, helpful , who greeted us at the top of the stairs where the taxi dropped us off & carried our luggage down 80 steps to our room. Breakfast offered was so good with fresh bakery goods and yummy cappuccino. Come to this hotel, it is next door to the sextantio where our friends stayed and struggled with lighting in their rooms. Say hi to Mario!

Amazing place. I only stayed one night but this was a comfortable place to sleep and shower after 20,000 steps in Matera. The host gave us a helpful map and showed us where all the best views are. He also recommended a nice gluten free restaurant for me, which was sweet. Breakfast was very nice.

Beautiful experience, hotel and staff. If walking to the hotel, accept their offer to meet you at the Piazza del Duomo. The directions given by Google Maps is wrong!

Best hotel stay for our entire 1 mth trip
Mario has been helping us to navigate around the town and book transfer for us. He addresses us with our names and makes us feels like home in this old ancient city. We love our stay in Cenobio and the room is fantastic and clean. It's an experience to stay in a cave room

It was a wonderful stay. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. If you are driving make sure to get in touch with hotel prior to arrival to make necessary parking arrangements. They will send shuttle for you, at extra cost, but totally worth it to transport your luggage to hotel. I'd definitely stay again!
