Palazzo della Fontana is a beautifully renovated hotel right at the start of the historic town, allowing you to reach it easily by car, and also use it as the perfect base for sightseeing.
A very tasteful, spotlessly clean property with excellent staff and great amenities.
Cherry on top… the rooftop bar where you can enjoy your cocktail with a great view of the old town.

The location is perfect, the hotel is lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Only criticism, would be better if the roof terrace was accessible during the day.
I intend to return in the near future if I can

Great location with very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful breakfast. Lovely rooftop bar.
You cannot drive directly to the hotel. Parking is a short distance away and you must walk to the hotel on cobblestone streets with your luggage, but this is not too difficult and true of many places in central Matera.
