Boutique Hotel nel cuore degli storici rioni Sassi a Matera (patrimonio mondiale Unesco), in posizione dominante e panoramica sorge dal 1756 il Palazzo degli Abati, antica dimora del Capitolo della contigua Chiesa rupestre di San Pietro Barisano, la più grande della città.
Palazzo degli Abati is located in the Sassi, the UNESCO ancient historical area of Matera. We are located in the Sasso Barisano district, exactly in “Via San Pietro Barisano, 27“.

Our hotel can be reached easily by car for loading and unloading luggage, and in the immediate surroundings you can find restaurants, pizzerias, pubs and cafes; our hotel is surrounded by many interesting sites of the city: the church of San Pietro Barisano, the ex dug quarry now auditorium Casa Cava, the gardens and the Church of St. Augustine; the Cathedral is literally in front of us and after a 5-minute walking you can reach the main square of Matera (Piazza Vittorio Veneto), always pleasantly busy until late.
