“Elegant accommodation in the heart of Matera, offering en-suite rooms that seamlessly blend the rustic traditions of the "sassi" dwellings with modernity. There is a restaurant serving local cuisine, bar and massages on offer. Ideal for newly-weds or those looking to soak in the city's history. ”

Hotel review

Within the vaulted chambers of a 14th century palace carved into the limestone rock of the mountains of Matera, is the Palazzo del Duca.  This is the "Civita Matera" district of the city, an area historically inhabited by the wealthy elites of Matera, and the Palazzo del Duca is no exception.  The nine rooms' decor is uneffectedly stylish, seamlessly blending the old and new in happy harmony. The Grottapignata Suite is one such example, built out of an old "sassi" cave dwelling, with exposed stone walls and antique furniture, it's now been married with a heated indoor pool - perfect for a honeymoon suite. There is a restaurant that serves locally-sourced regional cuisine, and they offer cooking lessons to guests. For those hoping to soak in the city's culture, the hotel offers themed tours around the city, including tours of the "sassi" dwellings, the Rock Churches and the gastronomic culture of Basilicata.
