The Sant'Angelo Luxury Resort is a 4-star Superior boutique hotel (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) located in the heart of the Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The resort is a scattered hotel developed within an ancient village of cave-houses, offering a total immersion in the millenary history and architecture of the city. It is the ideal base for exploring the streets, rock churches, and neighborhoods of the Sassi, with attentive and discreet service.
The 23 rooms and suites have been created from ancient cave dwellings, each one different, but all characterized by a design that highlights the original tuff and lime structure. The furnishings are a sophisticated mix of antique pieces, linen fabrics, and modern comforts. The Matrimonial Suites and Junior Suites are particularly suggestive, with unique views of the Sassi or the Murgia Materana Park. Rooms include complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
The resort's gourmet restaurant, "A Tavola", offers refined cuisine that reinterprets the typical dishes of the Lucanian tradition, using zero-mile raw materials and DOP products. The location is breathtaking, with tables inside the restored caves or, in warm seasons, on the panoramic terrace with an unparalleled view of the Sassi. Breakfast is a moment of relaxation, with a rich buffet of homemade pastries and regional savory products.
Despite being situated in a historic context, Sant'Angelo offers luxury services, such as continuous assistance for guests (being a scattered hotel) and the organization of guided tours to discover the secrets of the Sassi. The resort features a cozy lounge bar set in an ancient granary and offers a transfer service upon request for arrival/departure (given the limited vehicular circulation in the Sassi). The hotel does not have a SPA but offers agreements with nearby wellness centers.
The resort is located in Sasso Caveoso, a strategic position for visiting both Caveoso and Barisano. For those arriving by car, guarded external parking is available, with a subsequent shuttle service (upon request) to reach the structure within the pedestrian area. The hotel is Pet Friendly (small pets welcome upon request).

His Opinion: Overall good but we had problems with AC in the room. The singer didn't fit the very nice and romantic restaurant (too loud, not "jazzy" enough). Bar was closed during afternoon.
