"Our suite was perfect, with a handsomely generous bathroom carved into the rock that felt like a suite, a balcony with THAT view, and crisp white sheets on a king sized bed."

"I used room 1004, large, tastefully furnished, comfortable, and with probably the best balcony view over the old city."

Ancient History Surround
L'Hotel In Pietra is set in a converted 13th-century monastery in the Sasso Barisano district. The hotel is located in the maze-like Sassi, near the medieval frescoed rupestrian churches and prehistoric caves. The reception, lounge, and breakfast area are in a 14th-century church hewn in sand-colored tufa, formerly the 13th-century rock-hewn church of San Giovanni Vecchio. The hotel is a five-minute walk to the newer part of town and the great cathedral that towers over the old citadel. Nearby landmarks include Chiesa di Santa Lucia e Sant'Agata alla Fontana (0.3 km), Palombaro Lungo (0.5 km), and the Church of San Pietro Caveoso (0.5 km).
Hotel Services Offered
The staff offers concierge services, baggage porterage, and parking suggestions. A safety deposit box is available at reception. There is a book-lined gift shop selling crafts and jewelry.
Location and Access
L'Hotel In Pietra is 65 km from Karol Wojtyla Airport. Access by car is allowed for loading and unloading luggage for a limited time. The location of the flat is 70 meters away from the reception.
“I find this hotel to be a distinctive choice in Matera, offering rooms carved into the rock of a former 13th-century monastery. The location places you directly in the Sassi area, and the hotel enhances this with culturally themed decor. I especially appreciate the creative designs, some including jacuzzis and terraces.”
