Best Boutique Hotels in Matera
Search the best hotels in Matera
Matera is home to some of Basilicata’s most unique boutique hotels, conversions of the ancient ‘sassi’ cave dwellings built by the earliest inhabitants of Matera, who started living on this limestone outcrop around seven thousand years ago (there are a number of more mainstream luxury hotels and B&Bs amongst them too). Matera’s 13th century cathedral marks the approximate centre of the city, and the most historic boutique hotels are those around the cathedral. If you don’t fancy the sound of staying in a cave — even a boutique one — Matera also has some beautifully converted villas and townhouses, not a rock-hewn wall amongst them!
