Salandra Holiday Rentals

"Gym opening at 7am would be great. Otherwise great hotel. Good breakfast and convenient to Matera Alberobello an Bari"

"Our stay at Cenobio lived up to the expectations we had based on previous reviews we had read. The hotel truly felt like an extension of the overall Matera world bringing the cave experience to life albeit with the luxury one would expect of a 5-star hotel. We had just a 1-night stay as a family of 4 including our 2 near adult teenagers. We had a spacious family suite which had a half-split level - twin beds on the mezzanine overlooking the rooms below and a queen at the rear. The suite felt spacious and was tastefully presented matching the stone work, it was spotlessly clean and benefited from a generous bathroom with a lovely rain forest shower. The pre-check-in comms from the hotel was excellent. They reached out a few days in advance to guide on parking and transfer options (the hotel cannot be accessed by car). We were light on luggage and chose to walk from the parking garage to the hotel through the streets of Matera. Breakfast was typical of our Italian experiences, offered a range of cereals, pastries, cakes, cold meats etc with the obligatory Italian coffee. All thoroughly enjoyed by our family of 4. The setting of the hotel is superb with Matera one of the most amazing spots we have visited. Our choice of hotel while at the higher end from a cost perspective, truly added to the holiday. A wonderful stay."

"Matera is fascinating and this was a wonderful place to stay. Thank you, Francesco!"

"Amazing breakfast spread. Spacious trullo room. Plenty of private outdoor seating for exquisite sunsets. Delightful spa. ZERO parking. Park in new town and notify hotel for shuttle. "

"Beautiful hotel in the perfect location if you want to be right in the Sassi di Matera. Great restaurants and shops nearby, staff were all very friendly. "

"Could not believe the beautiful reception rooms you walk through to get breakfast, as good as visiting a stately home. Our room was wonderful and the staff very helpful. The terrace area was a great place to watch the sunset."

"Beautiful property in the heart of an amazing city. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They made a delicious birthday cake for our son and we had a great evening in the restaurant with excellent food and service. One of our rooms did however smell of damp and the door didn’t lock properly, it is a cave but none of the other rooms were like this, it wasn’t pleasant but they happily moved us to another one. Small details could be improved, bathrobes worn thin and room service trays left in the rooms and only collected when repeatedly asked. Otherwise a gorgeous hotel and a lovely stay. "

"Unique Experience in Matera! A real adventure—sleeping in a beautiful cave room was unforgettable! The breakfast was fantastic, and the people were so kind and friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the design of the room kept the history alive. Plenty of great restaurants around, all within walking distance. We would love to come back again!"
