Regional Reserve of Montalbano-Ionian Badlands, Basilicata hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel reception was super friendly and gave us so many good recommendations to explore Matera. Had good wifi, the air conditioning worked GREAT! Highly recommend this hotel"

"Amazing breakfast spread. Spacious trullo room. Plenty of private outdoor seating for exquisite sunsets. Delightful spa. ZERO parking. Park in new town and notify hotel for shuttle. "

"Beautiful property in the heart of an amazing city. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They made a delicious birthday cake for our son and we had a great evening in the restaurant with excellent food and service. One of our rooms did however smell of damp and the door didn’t lock properly, it is a cave but none of the other rooms were like this, it wasn’t pleasant but they happily moved us to another one. Small details could be improved, bathrobes worn thin and room service trays left in the rooms and only collected when repeatedly asked. Otherwise a gorgeous hotel and a lovely stay. "

"Amazing! "

"The total experience was excellent. We were in Room 12 and the view was worth every penny. The staff were very nice and helpful. The coffee and breakfast in the morning were excellent. You must stay here!"

"Andrea & Lucia were attentive, kind and professional. I stayed just one night but they did a great job. Nice breakfast, nice pool and the grounds are both charming and spotless."

"Truly fantastic boutique hotel! Such an amazing find! Highly recommended. Parking is free and easy to find. The hotel picks you up and takes you into the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. On the day of our departure we needed to leave very early and they had a full breakfast ready for us and gave us a ride back to our car with no problem at all. The location at the edge of the cliff is absolutely stunning and the views are unparalleled. The rooms themselves are unique and very well appointed. The bathroom in our room needs to be repainted and the loft where the kids slept got very hot. But other than that we can't find a single fault with this lovely spot in a beautiful city! "

"This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. If you have difficulty with stairs, you may want to look elsewhere, but if no mobility issues, you must stay here! It’s incredible!"
