Palazzo Matà Boutique Hotel

The mentions are always made with a view to the room price of more than EUR 220 per night. We had a terrace suite. Positive points: Beautiful view from the terrace of fishing boats and Mare Piccolo. Terrace nice You have to know that it takes a good 15 minutes on foot from the hotel to the new town, but the walk through the half-ruined old town, where the buildings are slowly but surely being restored, is very beautiful and completely safe. The morbid old town is slowly starting to come to life again, cool bars and restaurants are springing up. Negative points: Very small, even unpleasantly small room with an unpleasant musty smell (clearly damp). From the 3rd floor onwards, the room has to be reached via a wooden staircase, lugging the suitcases up there is exhausting, but doable. Room not particularly clean, dust in corners and under the bed. Very small bathroom, unpleasantly narrow, very unpleasant musty smell. Low ceiling height. No bidet. Small plastic cups for toothbrushes... No storage space for suitcases, no cupboard. So everything is lying around somewhere in the room. The jacuzzi on the terrace was already filled with warm water when we arrived (strange...) and it also smelled very unpleasantly musty. The mere thought that the water might have been in there for a while and that other guests had possibly "used" it before is unpleasant. Breakfast really nothing special, we had much better in Puglia. No fruit available. We went to a nearby bar for a good cappuccino. The boss Angelo's not particularly motivated attitude is also unpleasant. We were treated without a smile and without charm and he also seemed simply demotivated when we made a reservation for a boat. The employees are friendly. But it is strange when the owner treats the guests unmotivated and without charm. There are really more motivated hosts in Taranto. We looked around for hotels in the immediate vicinity and found a few offers (larger rooms, also with a view of the harbor, with a terrace but without a jacuzzi...) and the prices were about half (also 4* hotels). So overall we were really disappointed because of the very penetrating smell of damp in the room and the uncharming service and will definitely not go there again

We booked the Junior Suite with balcony which was a split-level room with the bedroom on the mezzanine floor. The hotel is newly renovated and the room was modern and clean with nice furnishings. We weren’t keen on the stairs which were ‘rustic’ unfinished wood and looked as though they were installed by someone who had limited carpentry skills. The mezzanine bedroom location meant having to use the stairs in order to get to the bathroom which had to be carefully negotiated during the night. The layout of the room was a bit impractical with a seating/sofa-bed area facing inwards and the bathroom next to the entrance door. The bathroom was quite small relative to the size of the room. The room advertises a balcony but this was only a Juliet balcony with no seating area but it did have a nice view. There was a mini bar with juice, water and soft drinks provided free of charge and tea/coffee making facilities. The breakfast is served in the restaurant and was one of the best we had during out time in Puglia. The hotel restaurant was not open for dinner during our stay and due to the public holiday no restaurants in the local area were open so we were forced to walk 20 mins into town to find a meal. The hotel felt safe but the streets to the rear of the hotel did not, even during the day so we would recommend only walking in the better lit areas along the sea front if venturing out in the evening

This is a very new hotel in Taranto. The hotel itself is very nice. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The only problem with this hotel isn’t the hotel but the location. The old part of Taranto is very run down, dirty and makes you feel unsafe to walk around.

Without any doubt I highly recommend this hotel. I stayed here for 5 days and it was just superb. The hotel is located in the traditional part of Taranto with a fantastic view of the harbour area which is literally across the road. It’s a short, easy 10 minute walk to the commercial side of town. The rooms are large, spacious and well equipped with everything you will need. A super comfortable bed and a super powered shower. The free mini bar was restocked daily. Breakfast was excellent and the restaurant of the hotel is outstanding serving a great selection of Italian dishes, fresh fish and seafood at very reasonable prices. The is no ‘bar’ in the hotel but very attentive staff serve drinks promptly all day long to an outside area which overlooks the waterfront and tied up boats. Simply stunning! (and the local wine is very drinkable!) All staff are very friendly, attentive, professional and so very helpful. The atmosphere is so special. All respect to the staff and for the owner/manager Angelo, who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent Italian hospitality!

Siamo stati accolti da personale gentilissimo, ma la camera assegnataci (l’ultima disponibile) davvero complicata da raggiungere . Letto comodo , doccia molto ampia, prodotti da bagno all’olio di oliva di buona qualità. Asciugamani dure e ruvide. Posto auto riservato dinanzi la struttura situata lungo il mare. Colazione varia, ma nulla di che. Non voglio essere pignola come Barbieri , ma da un boutique hotel mi aspettavo molto molto di più. Perdonate la mia franchezza .

Hôtel très convivial, situé dans le centre historique de Tarente, face à la Piccolo Mare. Chambre avec toutes les commodités avec vue sur la promenade face au petit port. Petit déjeuner à l’italienne fait maison et restaurant à recommander avec une très belle carte. Patron très aimable.

Hotel lindo e renovado localizado na parte velha de Taranto. As ruas no entorno não são bonitas, porém fica bem na orla e facilmente se chega a parte comercial da cidade e a estação de trem. Possui estacionamento na porta. Café da manhã muito farto e saboroso. Quarto muito limpo, cheiroso, frigobar liberado com água, suco e refrigerante e ainda uma seleção de chás e cafés. O restaurante do hotel é excelente.

Hotel diffuso dalle ripide scale, ma ben ascensorato. Ha volte basse e sopra il metro e 80 c'è il rischio di zuccate. Ma è rischio da correre perchè le camere sono ottime, moltissime con affaccio proprio sul mare e sui pescherecci. Al pian terreno c'è un ristorante che promette bene (non provato perchè chiuso il lunedì). Colazione sopra la media. In linea col prezzo.

Delizioso hotel di nuova costruzione posto sul lungomare, curato nei minimi particolari, con camere arredate con buon gusto e stile. Frigobar gratuito.Colazione abbondante varia e di qualità. Ristorante annesso di alto livello. Siamo stati accolti e seguiti con gentilezza dai proprietari, simpaticissimi e disponibili e ospitali. Una menzione particolare al giovane Alessandro che ci ha fatto sentire a casa nostra. Il top per chi ha in programma una visita a Taranto.
