Sant'Angelo, Matera - Small Luxury Hotels

Sant’Angelo is an incredible hotel located in the heart of Sassi. We enjoyed a lot our stay from our panoramic room! As they said “cross and delight of the Sassi are the stairs” but it worth it! We tasted also their Pizzeria Più Sud, the pizza is one of the best ever eaten! Thank you to staff for the service, see you soon!

This is a wonderful hotel with some rooms built into the mountain. Very special. Stag very professional and accommodating. And excellent breakfast and dinner in it’s restaurant

Absolutely incredible location and a beautiful hotel with their rooms set into the cliff side. Our room was a former cave and was simple and elegant we loved it. Outside our room was a lovely seating area over looking the beautiful church. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choices and also had oat milk (thank you) We went to their restaurant 1 evening the service is fantastic and the food wonderful. It is quite expensive but you expect this at a 5 star hotel. We’d hope to sit outside but unfortunately it rained but the inside is stunning being a former large cave. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus to and from the carpark (parking Sant’ Isidore) booking done through hotel costs €20 a night. Only residents cars are allowed into Matera.

Stayed at one of the small luxury hotels of the world in Matera, but it did not feel luxurious as the shower (no bath) was uncomfortably small. I am maybe 5kg overweight, but maneuvering in the shower was difficult even for my slimmer wife with her Zumba and Pilates skills. And do not drop anything on the shower floor as recovery is difficult The WiFi kept dropping and the worst I have seen in awhile as it was also slow. The view is marvelous and the narrow balcony somewhat usable when it was not raining. Our traveling companions all extolled the wonderfulness of their rooms while ours was very unremarkable. Later some would complain about the lack of adequate airflow. So pick your room wisely and only ask for room 55i if you want a great view and a really small shower. And do not ask for a checkout after the standard 10:30AM as 5 minutes of discussion might only lead to a 11am checkout and some aggravation. The restaurant was very good and the staff at the restaurant and other staff are a really helpful and a pleasant group as were most of the staff.

The staff at Sant’Angelo welcomed us warmly when we arrived. The bellman took our bags and we saw the bags again once we got into our room. Flavia answered so many of our questions, gave us suggestions on where to go to see attractions, and offered suggestions for restaurants. We returned to the hotel just after 3pm when Flavia took us to our room and explained all the amenities. Our room used to be an actual cave and had a king-size bed, a garden tub, and a spacious shower. Additionally, we received 2 bottles of water each day. The staff here made the stay for us. All were kind. Breakfast was very good with a lot of selections to satisfy a person’s choices. Last, provide your WhatsApp number to the staff to remain informed and to ask them to get reservations for restaurants.

From the moment we arrived at this stunning 5-star hotel in Matera, we felt that we are somewhere special. My Fiancé and I just got engaged, and we knew that this hotel will offer not only luxurious comfort but also a truly authentic Italian experience, during such a special time for us. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They took extra care of us seeing me being 7 months pregnant. We got the room with privet balcony, overlooking the stunning view over hills and old town center. Spacious, elegant and beautiful in its simplicity, reflected the hotel’s commitment to excellence. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was meeting the owner, Biagio. A true gentleman who embodies the spirit of hospitality. Passion for His hotel and for making us feel special, was evident in every detail—from the way he greeted us, to the way He personally make sure we were perfectly look after. Biagio’s presence gave the hotel a soul; he didn’t just run a luxury establishment—he created a home away from home. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely devoted to make sure that His Guests and their comfort come first. He left lasting impression on us… This hotel truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already dreaming of our next visit! Hopefully next year with our little one. Thank you Biagio! 🙂
