Great location with beautiful staff
A quick stopover on our way back to Rome. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Located in a central area close to old city. Breakfast was lovely. We had a standard room which was all they had left and it perfect with all that you need.

Nice spacious clean rooms. Bathroom had an excellent shower. Spectacular views from the patio/dining area. Friendly staff. The only negative was that our room was on the second floor and the elevator did not go there, so that if someone has difficulty walking, that room would not be suitable. A family member had a room on the 1st floor so there was no problem.

A gorgeous view of the Sassi and Matera. We were a quick walk from sites and food, plus had easy free parking close by. The staff were very friendly and the room was gorgeous. Be ready to get your stair-master on. There was an inside direct road into Matera Saadi center, but we preferred to wander the old part with gorgeous views over the valley. So up and down we went.

The view from the hotel is wonderful. Our room was large and well equipped, with a comfortable bed and good air conditioning. An excellent, varied breakfast served on the balcony or in a cave room. The staff were very helpful and full of information.

A great boutique hotel with the greatest views of the city and surrounding countryside. Staff is fantastic and the hotel is easy walking distance to all attractions and restaurants.
Rooms are all nice but I recommend staying in one of the rooms located in ‘the Cave’. A most memorable experience that I will not forget!
Breakfast was very good and having drinks served out on the patio was fantastic.
You will not regret booking Il Belvedere!

Awesome place. Wished we had stayed here a week. The view of matera and the gorge is spectacular and unrivalled. Sipping wine on the terrace at sunset was pure magic. Room was perfect. Breakfast was great. Staff are amazing. No free parking but reasonable. Probably my favourite B&B we stayed at out of 9 of them all over Italy. Great restaurants not far from hotel.
