    My room was just perfect - AC, good ventilation, and super beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better setup. the location of this place is top-notch, just a stone's throw away from the Matera Sud train station 🚉.

    The rooms at Locus Amoenus are just amazing! They are set right in the stone of the Sassi di Matera, giving them a unique charm and an incredible view. As a young holiday-goer, I was in awe of the beauty and history surrounding me.

    Personally, I found that the tile/marble floor in the quadruple room was a little slippery. However, I understand that this may be subjective, and others might not have the same issue.

    Our stay at Locus Amoenus was beyond expectation. The prime location made it easy to explore the magical city of Matera. Parking was not a challenge, with a short walk from the lot to the hotel. The accommodation was exactly as described, with a breathtaking view right outside our doorstep. The main sites were closer than expected and our host, Elizabetta, was excellent in communicating and providing us with insights on the city's history. The breakfast was perfection and we wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Elizabetta!

    We recommend this hotel.

    The house is set right in the stone of the Sassi, offering a unique and breathtaking view. As a family with kids, we were in awe of the historical ambiance and the stunning surroundings.

    The room had a tile/marble floor, which felt a bit cold. However, it's a matter of personal preference, and others may still find it enjoyable.

    We had an amazing time in Matera, and staying at Locus Amoenus only enhanced our experience. The central location made it convenient to explore the town, and the parking assistance provided by the host was a great help. The apartment itself was charming and exactly as shown in the photos, with unique cave-like features. The host was friendly and accommodating, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. it was a wonderful and unforgettable stay.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    Our stay at Locus Amoenus was beyond expectation. The location was perfect, with breathtaking views right outside our doorstep. The room itself was incredible, being a cave with all the modern amenities we needed. The breakfast served in the room was delicious, with homemade cakes and jams. The owners, Elisabetta and her family, were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay. They even assisted us in finding a parking space. I highly recommend Locus Amoenus for an exceptional stay in Matera.

    The location is excellent, with free parking within 10 minutes and easy access to the main street connecting the different parts of Matera. The apartment's unique selling point is that it is situated in an 8000 years old cave, providing a special atmosphere while still being modern and comfortable. The room is large, the bed is comfortable, the shower is perfect, and the breakfast is good. The balcony offers a fabulous view of the sassi.

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

    The house is located right in the heart of Matera's Sassi, with a stunning view. It feels like you're living in the stone! The rooms are very nice and have air conditioning and ventilation to keep the humidity at bay. I slept like a baby! Each unit has a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and a fridge. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.

    Personally, I found the tile/marble floor in the quadruple room a bit cold to walk on. But hey, some people might like that refreshing sensation!

    Staying in an 8,000-year-old cave was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. the location was perfect, just a short walk from Matera Sud train station. the room and bathroom were excellent, with all the necessary facilities. the service provided by the host was extremely friendly and accommodating. the breakfast served was delicious and satisfying. the view from the balcony was stunning, offering a breathtaking perspective of the surrounding area. the stay at this hotel was exceptional.

    It would have been even better if there were more dining options available within the hotel premises.
