Save to favouritesPrintMailLe Grotte della CivitaLe Grotte della Civita is a truly unique hotel, set in the troglodytic, Unesco-listed town of Matera. Its old quarters (sassi) are built into and over limestone caves, and interwoven by narrow cobbled streets. Inhabited since prehistoric times, these remarkable underground spaces include rock-hewn churches and many half-carved, half-built dwellings looking out onto the arresting Gravina gorge. The hotel itself consists of 18 such [r:SI042:cave rooms] and a restaurant, all renovated over 10 years with obsessive attention to detail and utter respect for the past. We arrived on a misty night and opened our gnarled wooden door to find a 6-metre high vault flickering with 100 candles, like our own private cathedral - a truly sensational first impression. Recycled wooden furniture, carved crosses and cosy nooks are the only visible decoration; but closer examination reveals concealed spotlights in the walls, underfloor heating beneath the time-worn cobblestones, and an oversize egg-shaped Starck bathtub in the depths! With fantastic [eating:SI042:breakfasts], friendly English-speaking service from Michele and Roberta, wonderful trattorie and gelaterie on your doorstep, and ancient rock churches to explore in the gorge, it's a fantastic and restorative break from your day-to-day travails.
