The hotel offers a mix of characterful, steep-stair rooms and more conventional rooms to suit various preferences. The rooms are charming with cozy four-poster beds, mini fridges, and a romantic ambiance. While some may find the unique layout appealing, it may not be suitable for everyone. The bathrooms are spacious with modern amenities but lack variety in room types.

I absolutely loved the characterful little room with steep stairs that had a view of the Sassi, which I found unique and charming. However, I must admit that the room was very small and not suitable for everyone, especially with the shared shower and toilet in the same space. The hotel does offer more conventional rooms for those who prefer more space and comfort.

The location was amazing for exploring Matera, offering a perfect base to discover the city's wonders. While the dark narrow streets at night might seem a bit alarming, the hotel's proximity to the duomo piazza and its unique surroundings were truly captivating.

The breakfast options were limited and somewhat disappointing. The continental-style offerings were basic with below-average cereal and not-so-fresh fruits. However, there were also some traditional and tasty selections that added a nice touch to the dining experience.

The hotel facilities were adequate, offering essential services to ensure a comfortable stay. However, the breakfast could definitely use some improvement in terms of variety and freshness.
