Overview
Literally cut into the volcanic tufa of the Matera hillside, the caves of Albergo Sextantio Le grotte della Civita were originally a stronghold for Italian peasants. Forcibly removed in the 1950s, many of the peasants came back against the government's wishes. Today, the area has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is attracting curious travelers to its snaking rooftop streets, craggy hillside drop offs, and stone cathedrals.
At Albergo Sextantio Le grotte della Civita, great care was put into restoring the 18-room hotel. Local materials were used to create linens, handmade furniture, room fragrances, and even candles. Modern amenities, like freestanding Stark baths, were chosen based on their unobtrusive design.
Trekking throughout Sassi provides almost endless curiosities, but guests here may opt to spend a day of recluse in the cave: reading a book, sharing a heartwarming meal in the main atrium, or slowly enjoying a glass of wine in the bath.
