Landmark views from the rooms
Every room category at Albergo Italia is listed with a landmark view, so even the entry-level Standard Double looks out over Matera's famous stone cityscape. It's the defining feature of the accommodation here, not an upgrade you have to pay extra for.
Terrace and sun deck
The hotel has an outdoor terrace and a sun deck, giving guests open-air space above the city. The King Suite and the Suite with Terrace also come with their own private terrace or balcony, so you can step straight out from the room.
Suites with outdoor space
The two suites are the largest options. The King Suite is 35 m² with a balcony and terrace, while the Suite with Terrace reaches 40 m² and adds a separate living room with a sofa bed, which suits a small family or a longer stay.
Bar, snack bar and coffee house
There's a bar and a snack bar on site, plus a coffee house. Breakfast is served and rated very good by the property, with a kid-friendly buffet available. Room service runs alongside these if you'd rather eat in.

Arriving in Matera
Albergo Italia is 54.3 km from Bari Airport (BRI), where the Ferrovie del Nord Barese line runs to Bari Centrale. Matera Centrale station is about 0.5 km away, roughly a 5-minute walk. Matera operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. No parking is listed here, so check where to leave a car before driving into the centre. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 294 reviews, guests give Albergo Italia 4.5/5. The strongest themes are location, free wifi and cleanliness, which suggests the hotel's position in Matera and the standard of its rooms are what people remember most. No recurring complaints stand out in the data provided.
