Palazzo Viceconte

Great location with wonderful views The hotel is very much in need of updating to make it more user friendly. It is an absolutely gorgeous building We had a junior suite which was basically a big room with a settee in it. There was only electric points to one wall so there was battery bedside lamps, mine never worked. The bathroom was large with an over bath shower, the water was only just warm, when I asked about it I was told it was a requirement to have it temperature controlled, this was my 7th hotel in Italy and all the others managed to have hot water! The towels were thin and just adequate Breakfast was with terrific views but was at small tables with uncomfortable chairs, little choice and our worst breakfast of all the places we have stayed. On check in we were advised to use the rooftop bar for drinks with fabulous evening views of Matera only to find it closed for the whole time of our stay. The staff are friendly and helpful The car park is very difficult to get to and includes driving through heavily pedestrianised tourist areas, with narrow roads and a tight turn of palazzo duomo

What a splendid Renaissance palazzo, renovated to the highest standards! We spent 2 nights here - great location (we didn’t have a car be sure to get directions if you do) and the staff were extremely helpful. Lovely breakfast, quick turnaround on laundry and our room had a beautiful view of Matera.

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel ( being upgraded to junior suite with view on sassi. People are really kind, room is very confortable , breakfast is good ( I would have waited a little bit more if choice, like different kinds of eggs for example , but still very good ) Parking , with fee if 30 euros per day , is a real advantage as you are at the highest point of Matera. View from the terrasse is exceptional but my only regret is that this terrasse is not used the way it should bring the best experience . Just a few uncomfortable chairs and 2 tables ( you can ask a glass of wine if a beer at the reception )

It is like staying in an art museum. It was an actual palace. There is parking on site, but realize the streets are small and ancient (to be expected). The breakfast was very good and included local specialties. The terrace provided great views. I wish the bar would have been open. I would stay here again.

Nice place but clearly over rated and extremely costly with limited services. Watch out : they take your Amex payment card to book your stay but refuse it when you pay so that they do not have to pay the fee. You clearly need a second payment card. And they couldn't care less ...

There is no doubt that this is a spectacular former palace. You can wonder it’s public rooms, view the art work and gape at the chandeliers, but it is lacking as a hotel. I fortunately, had a substantially-sized room, but others in my group were not so fortunate. They had cramped, little spaces, with steps to the bathroom (an accident waiting to happen). My room was more a suite, with a modern bathroom, and an odd layout. There was scant lighting and rare outlets. Had to unplug lamps in order to charge devices. There is no restaurant, and a skimpy breakfast. The location is near nothing. I was on my own, and after dark I was not willing to venture many blocks to a restaurant. I ended up pleading a couple of yogurts from the desk personnel. This was not an acceptable location. The next day, the hotel was all set up for a professional meeting. I venture to say that meeting are a better use for this unusual property. With only 14 room, you are likely to get an unsuitable one.
