-Important Information-

Check-in from  2pm*  to 8pm** / Check-out from 8am to 10:30am

We would be glad to know the estimate time of your arrival, above all if it’s before 2pm or after 8pm.

*In case of arrival before 2 pm you can leave your luggage at the Reception and get a map and some info to start the tour of the city. We cannot guarantee the access to your room before 2pm, but,  if it’s logistically possible (as the room can be occupied by previous guests until 10:30am) and if we are promptly informed about the time of your early arrival, we can try to give cleanliness priority to your room.

* LATE CHECK-IN: we inform you that the Reception closes at 8pm, therefore, for late arrivals from 8pm to 10:30pm we offer the possibility to access the room by opening the access door (s) via pin code. In case of access to the room via pin code, an online check-in is required (to be done according to our instructions). On the contrary, for late check-in in the presence of our staff, with our Reception open on demand, there is a surcharge of €15. In both cases, late check-in after 11 pm is not allowed.

Palazzo degli Abati  is located in the Sassi, a UNESCO world heritage and a very ancient historical area of Matera.

Throughout the Sassi area there is a ZTL (LIMITED TRAFFIC ZONE), so access is NOT allowed to tourists’ cars, but only and exclusively to motorcycles, residents and authorized persons.

We suggest you the following 3 possibilities to reach our property and let you park your car (whichever solution you choose, the Sassi and the historic center can only be visited on foot, so you will not need a car during your stay)

1. FREE  PARKING  BY  ROAD and COMING TO THE HOTEL ON FOOT

 2. Parking in a MULTI -STOREY PUBLIC CAR PARK and get to the hotel by shuttle bus “Linea Sassi”

3) PARKING AT a GUARDED CAR PARK AND get to the hotel by using their TRANSFER at 20€ (or 14€) per night

1. FREE  PARKING  BY  ROAD and COMING TO THE HOTEL ON FOOT

  • HOW IT WORKS: we are lucky to be in a location very close to the ZTL gate of the Sassi, in Via D’Addozio, which is only 300m away from us. You can look for a parking space outside the entrance to the ZTL, on the street, and reach us on foot, descending from Via D’Addozio that is the entrance to the Sassi area. The streets just before the ZTL gate of the Sassi  with free parking are Via Pentasuglia, Via Santa Cesarea, Via Piave, Via Volpe, Via Gattini and Via Santo Stefano.
  • HOW MUCH IT COSTS: there are free or paid parking spaces (parking in blue lines, with parking meter, costs 0.50 cents per hour, except at night from 8:30pm to 8:30am and lunch break from 1:30pm to 4pm)
  • HOW TO GET TO US: once you have parked your car, walk down from Via D’Addozio, (where the ZTL dei Sassi begins) and you will almost immediately find yourself in front of the Church of Sant’Agostino; keep descending and you will arrive at the “Baccus” restaurant, right in front of the Church of Sant’Agostino.Once you have seen the “Baccus” restaurant sign, you will have to go down no more than 50 meters where you will find a small road on the right that goes up, while Via D’Addozio will continue to go down; take this small road to the right and at the end of this small road you’ll find us in the small square, just to the right of the Rock Church of San Pietro Barisano / Casa Cava)

The closest stop to us is called “Via D’Addozio-Sant’Agostino”.

At this point, once you have seen the Baccus sign, you will have to descend via D’Addozio for about 50 meters and then turn right where there is a narrow street that goes up, while Via D’Addozio will continue to go down; at the end of this small street we find ourselves in the small square, to the right of the Rock Church of San Pietro Barisano / Casa Cava.
