cave hotelUNESCO World Heritage cityviews of the Sassispa carved into the rock

In the city of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vetera Matera has installed its guest rooms and lounges in some of the Sassi, troglodyte dwellings dug into the mountainside in the Paleolithic era. This original undertaking lets guests explore the city and region while staying in this admirably restored world of stone. The contemporary décor, all of understated elegance, perfectly complements the rough, natural rock and the rooms’ broad windows look out onto scenery that has been the backdrop for countless film productions. The accommodations boast large terraces and are set on the heights of the city’s historic center, a district woven together by a tangle of alleys and spectacular staircases. The gourmet restaurant at Vetera Matera showcases specialties of the Basilicata region, while the spa invites you to slip into relaxation pools carved into the rock itself.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at Vetera Matera Hotel

Exploring Matera

Follow in the footsteps of a passionate local guide through the sassi-troglodyte dwellings listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Via cobbled streets, steep staircases and vicinati-shared courtyards where communal ovens and wells once stood-each turn reveals a new perspective of Matera, a stone city that feels like a movie set. From the heights of a belvedere to the depths of a hidden cellar, this fascinating journey reveals how the soul of this destination has been sculpted by time.

Truffle hunting in the forest

Set out at dawn into the forests of the Lucanian mountains, accompanied by an expert truffle hunter and his team of dogs. Guided by their keen sense of smell, you will learn to identify suitable soils, differentiate between local varieties and uncover the secrets of this most precious fungi. Each step through the undergrowth leads you on a sensory immersion ever closer to nature, a lesson in patience and humility.

Horseback riding from pine forests to the sea

Enjoy an unforgettable adventure with your loved ones, to the rhythm of your steed. Rides begin at stables located between Ginosa and Taranto, then lead across the Pineta Regina, a vast Aleppo pine forest where you'll pass by the remains of casoni, ancient shepherds' shelters. Beyond this protected haven, you reach the beaches that border the Ionian Sea, where you can discover the joys of a horseback ride in the surf, borne by the sea breeze and the innate beauty of the coastline.
