4-Star Hotels in Basilicata, Italy

Really great one night stay. The hotel is very conveniently located for the autostrada. It was easy to check in and the reception staff were pleasant. We were advised parking was at the rear of the hotel where there was plenty of space. Our room was clean and modern, with a lovely comfortable bed. We had dinner in the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the choice available, as we don't eat meat, there were vegetarian options and of course fish, and the quality was excellent. It was also reasonable in cost. We had breakfast the next day where there was ample choice of scrambled egg (and bacon), cheeses, bread and pastries, cakes etc. Would thoroughly recommend.

The hotel was recommended to us by friends. Unfortunately, in our travel plan, we planned for Matera 1 night. The whole of Matera and the hotel are unique. Friendly, helpful staff, from the parking lot in the center of the hotel. Everything was great. The rooms are super neat and the beds are comfortable. We would definitely come again

Hotel location is very good, just near the ancient city of Stone, about 10 minutes, the front desk brother service is also very good, the only fly in the ointment may be because of the low season guests, the room bathroom shower is blocked, the water is poured during the shower, I hope that the  will follow up...

To be honest, I was skeptical about this one. I needed to book the hotel last minute (like literally the previous night), so seeing an old-looking building (probably constructed in the 1980s) was not really encouraging BUT I wanted to see Matera, so I went ahead. The hotel surprised me and by a lot. First of all - yes, the building is old BUT all inside is renovated, so all is great. The rooms are good in size (not too small at all, just right) and everything is very clean. You have a full minibar if you want something and the hotel has a working restaurant and staff at reception 24/7. The breakfast is phenomenal (like, literally anything any traveler could want) and the staff are helpful and friendly. The best thing about the hotel is the location. Basically, there is no other hotel in Matera which is closer to the Sassi and the historical center. You just need 5 minutes of slow walking (entrance to the old town square is just behind the hotel :) ) and you are at the viewpoint and the cistern. There is a vending machine for snacks and drinks just less than 10 minutes away down the street from the hotel (in the old town) and any sights and amazing places to eat are within the same 5-10 minute distance. If you want to see the historical center of Matera, this is the place to stay (you won't regret it, trust me!). The hotel is very popular with Italians visiting Matera, so keep that in mind and if you are not travelling solo, like me, better book in advance :) The prime location comes with a single downside and a few things to consider (listing them here as they are just things to keep in mind and not something that is a huge issue) - the proximity to the Sassi means you will be quite far away from the bus station (3 kilometers) and the train station (1.5 kilometers). The distance is not that much BUT it is an uphill slope 90% of the time, so if you have a lot of luggage, better take a taxi. I loved it, so there is nothing I can put my finger at as a bad things, really, I just want to continue what I started above with the things you should keep in mind when visiting. If you come by car, make sure to notify the hotel in advance, as it is within a restricted parking area and parking lots are limited. Also be aware that the hotel is busy (as I said, very popular with Italians visiting) and check-in starts at 15.00, so if you come in earlier than that, you may need to wait. The staff would do anything they can to accommodate you early, BUT if you plan on arriving before noon, better notify them, to get your room ready. The hotel also have luggage storage, just so you know. Did I say I loved it? Just to repeat I can't wait to return!

The hotel has a very nice lobby and common areas; the comfortable, clean rooms, drawing attention to some details (like air conditioning not work, a little noisy). The hotel has a parking area, and the hotel has a parking area.

Beautiful place to stay, near everything, excellent service, staff so friendly and professional, breakfast out of this world with fresh and local products!!! Lugar espectacular, muy cerca de todo, comida excelente con materia prima di calidad, personal super profesional y amables. Bellissimo posto, personale gentilissimo e super disponibile, la colazione fantastica con prodotto di ottima qualità. Definitivamente da visitare de nuovo. Thankyou for marina our vacation super special. Jacqueline

Hotel Heraclea has all the potentials to be a great hotel and offering an memorable stay. But it was a rather disappointing stay. Management and staff should wake up an reflect on al lot of things. But it isn’t all bad. Rooms are large and kept very tidy, breakfast is more than satisfying and offering a nice mix of Italian and more Northern ingredients. Dinner is nice as well. But. Staff is friendly but lame. The bartender is not always on top of things but like the others, tries hard. This hotel is big. But I have been to hospitals with far more warmth an coziness than the entrance, hallways and rooms, which are rather cold and basic. Rooms are noisy as well. One can hear too much from the adjacent rooms, let alone the one above. Most shocking experience was the welcome drink. Sounds nice and sympathetic. But offering some tiny drops (2cm?) of Italy’s finest prosecco in an even tiny plastic cup was flat-out embarrassing. A refill was hard to get, staff ignored the guests. Management should be ashamed (foremost for the plastic cups)! This of course, is an occasion on the side, but it is quite representative for the whole stay. With summer season on its way, they really should get their act together.

With No Time To Die pending an April 2020 release date those wanting to get into the action may want to check out this hotel as the perfect base - five minutes from the Tower and Duomo and the incredible motorbike stunt and ten minutes from the car chase locations and that of the square seen at the end of trailer one. Incredibly clean, comfortable with friendly staff with a great breakfast (amazing coffee!) the Albergo seems to appear from inside a church. Terrific location. Those hoping to see the Ponte Aquedotto (the bridge leapt from at the start of the cat chase) will need to travel 20mins to Gravina in Puglia, a nearby town. Don't go on Monday as most everything is closed. Costing approx 70 euro by taxi or 5 euro by bus (six buses a day and six return) the bridge can be seen in a morning so suggest basing in Matera and a 3 -4 he trip to Gravina. Overall this hotel is perfect for those wanting to see the film locations - 10/10 for cleanliness, comfort and friendliness. A score worthy of 007 himself.

A special experience. Take a taxi for 10 Euros from the long-distance bus station to the hotel. The driver took the initiative to call the hotel staff to help carry the luggage because there are steps to go up. The hotel maintains the most primitive accommodation conditions, mainly lighting by candles. There is no TV. The hot water was out of condition and was not repaired for a while. As compensation, we delayed the check out and left Matera at night. The breakfast was great. The front desk is also very welcoming. Help us boil hot water, print boarding passes, and call a taxi. There are many cave hotels in the area, this one is very authentic and high-quality.

I was there for one night with a group. A beautiful “event” hotel in the countryside - our room had a beautiful view of the nearby hill town. Staff was incredibly helpful and available. Dinner their was verygood including a nice risotto. I arrived after a day of hard walking/stair climbing in Matera with leg and back pain, andthe staff managed to get a massage appointment in the spa. The massage therapist was incredibly skilled - it was a relaxing and healing experience. Highly recommended.

Premetto che la mia recensione ( comunque positiva ) è strettamente personale e si basa sul confronto di questa struttura con altri Hotel 4 stelle dove ho soggiornato. Ho prenotato in questo hotel dove mio figlio avrebbe sostenuto un concorso il giorno successivo, giunto nei paraggi a momenti saltavo l'uscita dalla superstrada a causa di indicazioni carenti, inoltre il parcheggio abbastanza ampio di fronte alla struttura era completamente buio così come l'insegna e le uniche luci ” piuttosto tenui ” erano quelle del pergolato dell'ingresso. All'interno confermo l'impressione di latente penombra, zona hall abbastanza illuminata ma il resto del vasto salone non beneficia della stessa irradiazione nonostante le zone siano dotate di diversi corpi illuminanti. Gli Addetti alla reception si sono sempre dimostrati altamente professionali , cortesi e gentili ( come già in precedenza per via telefonica ). Nella hall sono presenti 2 ampi ascensori per l'accesso ai piani. Preso possesso della camera, la stessa si presentava abbastanza spaziosa per un letto matrimoniale + lettino, pulita, dotata di 1 sedia e 1 poltroncina, con frigobar variamente rifornito ( con prezzi degli articoli piuttosto alti ), mobile con comodo piano d'appoggio, armadio capiente, specchio, cassaforte, telefono, tv da 32 pollici, aria condizionata , pavimento in moquette . Segnalo la presenza di numerose prese elettriche per smartphone e pc, e di una buona rete wifi. Ottima l'insonorizzazione, pur essendo accanto alla superstrada non si percepiva alcun rumore del passaggio dei veicoli o delle camere attigue. Il bagno, molto bello, rivestito in marmo con vasca e pannello vetrato per la doccia , sanitari, ampio specchio ( più specchietto regolabile ) ben illuminato , asciugacapelli , vari asciugamani, teli, kit bagno shampoo/bagnoschiuma e saponette, il tutto comunque ben pulito e ordinato. Nonostante un ottima prima impressione, a ben osservare si notava una certa ” stanchezza ” della tinteggiatura della stanza di un giallino deprimente, e numerosi segni di gocce d'acqua sul pavimento in marmo e sulle fasce scure di contorno al grande specchio in bagno. In stanza erano presenti i cartellini ” Non disturbare ” e dei moduli dove è possibile indicare le preferenze per la colazione in camera, il listino prezzi del frigobar, e un piccolo notes con penna per gli appunti. L'illuminazione della camera era garantita da lampade a tonalità gialla che notoriamente generano ombre e scarsa definizione ( ma questi sono gusti personali ). Per il servizio di colazione in camera è previsto un sovrapprezzo che sconosco, la stessa viene servita nell'area ristorante, trattasi di colazione continentale anche se mi è parso di vedere alcuni cibi salati. Sempre per opinione personale il caffè non è dei migliori. E' possibile cenare al costo di 30 euro per persona ( mezza pensione ) o ” alla carta ” , non è disponibile il pranzo. Per il pagamento sono accettate tutte le carte ed ovvi
