Staying at this hotel was a unique experience with its cave-like rooms, perfect for a retreat from the summer heat. The hotel is situated in the heart of Matera, providing access to stunning views and cultural experiences right outside. While the breakfast had great offerings, the overall dining experience could use improvement, especially for the price. The comfort of the rooms and the service provided rank quite well, though minor housekeeping issues detracted from an otherwise excellent stay.

Staying at Sant'Angelo Luxury Resort was a truly unique experience with its stunning cave rooms in the heart of Matera. The ambiance was wonderful, and the views were absolutely breathtaking, making it a perfect retreat.

The hotel offers a unique experience with its cave rooms and beautiful scenery, but it's let down by poor management and some uncomfortable amenities. While the outdoor areas and breakfast are enjoyable, the lack of basic in-room features like irons and ventilation made my stay less comfortable than I had hoped for. Additionally, unexpected charges for services like valet parking were quite off-putting.

My stay at Sant'Angelo Luxury Resort was truly exceptional!

The rooms were beautifully designed, but I did notice that some were smaller than others, which could be an issue for those who prefer more space.
