Locanda Di San Martino: Historic Luxury and Wellness in the Sassi of Matera

The Locanda Di San Martino Hotel & Thermae Romanae is a charming 4-star hotel nestled in the heart of the ancient Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The structure, resulting from a skillful restoration of ancient rock-hewn dwellings, offers a unique stay that combines the city's millenary history with the modernity of luxury comfort.

Rooms and Suites in the Rock

The rooms and suites are partly carved into the tuff rock, maintaining the original architecture but enriching it with elegant and modern furnishings. Many rooms offer a spectacular view of the Sassi panorama. Every accommodation is equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safe, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The evocative lighting enhances the unique texture of the stone walls.

Thermae Romanae and Panoramic Pool

The hotel's highlight is the exclusive Thermae Romanae, a spectacular SPA set in an underground environment that evokes ancient Roman baths, complete with wellness pathways, sauna, and Turkish bath. During the summer months, guests can enjoy the outdoor panoramic pool, located on a terrace with an unparalleled view of the Cathedral and the Sasso Barisano.

Dining and Strategic Location

The Locanda's restaurant offers cuisine that highlights the typical Lucanian and Mediterranean flavors, served in rooms carved into the rock. The location is ideal for exploring the streets and rock churches of the Sassi on foot. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the paid parking lot and a dedicated concierge for tours and guided visits.

His Opinion: We stayed for 2 nights September 2026.
The room was clean and functional. Disappointing that there were no coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Lack of control over air conditioning a minor issue.
Staff were mostly great.
Car parking tip on the web site was very good. Shuttle was very good.
We had a problem with noisy teenagers on Saturday night coming onto the walkway outside our room 27. At my request, Staff came up and asked them to leave , but I hear this is an ongoing problem. Not a good experience for guests.
No instructions in room for how to call reception desk - that needs urgent attention.
Breakfast was ok. I would have liked an English breakfast though.
The mattress was worn out and needs changing.
Overall 3.5 stars.
