Sant'Angelo Luxury Resort

Where to start a review about this fabulous hotel in a fairytale location! Guess I should start with the welcome, we drove to Matera and were sent very clear instructions by the hotel about where to park and how we would be collected from the carpark. All was very efficiaent! Matera was a bit of a surprise and it really does give you a "BOO" moment as up until the moment you turn the corner into the old city it gave away no glimses. We were right up until that moment underwhelmed as we could have neen in any majot town in Italy but then..... Then the fairytail begins, it is simply a breathtaking place and could be (indeed has been) the backdrop to a movie. Then we arrived at the hotel. This is the second SLH hotel I have stayed at since they became part of the Hilton group and although the other hotel (Dunas de Formentera) was comparible in beauty it was not comparible in service - it got a 1* from me only as you cant give 0*. The Sant'angelo, Matera however would get 6* if i could give them!! From the moment we got there nothing was too much trouble. We got an upgrade as it was our anniversary and my birthday and also a bottle of wine and a cake!! They advised us where to go for drinks and ice cream and arranged a TukTuk ride to explore the city. Everything was just perfect. Thank you for looking after us so well and we wioll be back!

This was the most amazing hotel stay. The staff was the nicest we’ve experienced at any hotel - they couldn’t have been more attentive or kind. On top of that, the rooms were beautiful with extremely comfortable beds and very clean. Staying here is a must in Matera!!!

I’ve traveled all over the world. Matera is stunningly unique. It’s ancient yet alive. The hotel is amazing. Great location. Who would have thought a cave could be so comfortable?!
