Matera is stunning. We chose to get a hire car from Bari airport as driving is fairly straightforward and parking is super easy outside of the ZTL with the Easypark app to pay. Lots of amazing bars and restaurants and sights to see. Lots of walking.

Matera is a unique human inhabitation. Makes you wonder how people lived there so many years ago and built the stone houses and lived on the caves. We were in awe!

I'd recommend to stay 2 nights to enjoy the quiet evening and morning to avoid the swarm of day trip tourists. From 10am-5pm is like a Venice, the amount of tourists is crazy. It's a completely different place after 5-6pm if you want nice photos.

Matera is a very interesting city, and we took a short tour with a guide to acclimate ourselves. Lots of hills and walking, and the views are amazing. There was an amazing restaurant down the street serving local food, and lots of shops nearby.

One of the most unique cities built into a mountain. You can't see the actual city until you round the corner and it is a shocking surprise! Lots of great places to eat!

Stay 1-2 nights to avoid day time tourists. It was touristic but still well maintained and enjoyable. You do need comfortable shoes with good grips.

So much history in this town. We only stayed one night, but would recommend two nights, to see more
"We had a wonderful stay at Cave Aquatica Hotel in Matera! While there’s no on-site parking (common in Matera), the hotel directed us to a nearby lot and arranged transport—Antonio, our driver, was fantastic. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and even making dinner reservations for us. The location is very central, perfect for exploring the Sassi. We were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade—absolutely stunning and well equipped. Highly recommend this hotel!"
"The concert was wonderful. The rooms could be cooled a little better and it would have been nice to have a shower you could Stan up in. The facilities were wonderful and the staff very kind and accommodating"

A real adventure—sleeping in a beautiful cave room was unforgettable! The breakfast was fantastic, and the people were so kind and friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the design of the room kept the history alive. Plenty of great restaurants around, all within walking distance. We would love to come back again!"
"Wonderful room in a cave. Simple, but beautiful, and made you feel part of the history. Location was right off the main strip near the Santa Maria Church. Breakfast was varied and good. Many restaurants to choose from. Staff was attentive and helpful. Price was a bit high, but worth it. Nice stay."
