Experience the magic of Matera by staying directly within its ancient history at Le Grotte della Civita. Here, you'll sleep in beautifully preserved cave dwellings, where minimalist luxury meets prehistoric charm, all illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The hotel is carved into the rockside, offering breathtaking views across the Gravina canyon, especially from the common area, a former 13th-century church where a spectacular breakfast is served. Be prepared for a unique arrival; the hotel is nestled within the pedestrian-only Sassi district, so you'll leave your car in a nearby partner car park and navigate the charming, stepped alleyways on foot to reach this unforgettable retreat.
