Best B&Bs in Matera
Search the best hotels in Matera
Matera is an incredible city, it’s been inhabited for the last seven thousand years, expanding outwards from the original ‘sassi’ cave homes the inhabitants of Matera built across the millennia. These cave homes were cut out of the limestone mountain Matera sits upon, and all around them is a picturesque web of ancient grottoes, churches and shops or cafes. Some of these sassi dwellings have been converted into boutique hotels or B&Bs, and staying in them is an incredible way to experience this totally unique city. Matera’s sassi B&Bs tend to be smaller, though many are very centrally located, so there’s plenty of fantastic places to grab your other meals nearby. And the historic part of Matera is very much easier to explore on foot. Use our guide to the best B&Bs in Matera and start planning your visit to this extraordinary place!
