The hotel is built into the side of a mountain and each room is cut into the rock. Very unique and interesting design and layout. The staff was friendly and the price of the the room was comparable to the surrounding hotels. My only real complaints are the walls are blown concrete which causes excessive dust requiring a lot of cleaning by the maid services. This is likely why the nooks of the room were in bad shape. Also, because the room is built into rock, it's very damp. The dehumidifier in the room filled up fast and turned off at night causing that damp feeling by morning. Overall I liked the hotel for it's novelty and would stay there again if we return to Matera.
