Basilicata and
the Sassi in Matera

Sometimes the Italian experience can be found in a unique accommodation. The city of Matera, for instance, in the southern region of Basilicata is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. For centuries people lived in the so-called sassi, cave dwellings which have now been converted into restaurants, apartments and hotels with modern amenities. Matera is just one of the many enchanting cities in Basilicata, a region in southern Italy with striking views of valleys and mountains.
