Enjoy a one-night stay for two in a charming B&B nestled in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Sassi district.

Treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner featuring traditional local dishes, giving you a true taste of Lucanian cuisine.

This is the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and unique atmosphere of Matera.

Highlights

  • One night in a B&B located within the Sassi UNESCO district
  • Traditional Lucanian cuisine meal included
  • 2-hour guided walking tour of Caveoso and Barisano neighbourhoods
  • Visit a historic rock-hewn church carved into stone
  • Step inside a fully restored typical cave house

Insider tips

  • Arrive in the late afternoon to settle into your B&B, then explore the Sassi at dusk when golden light transforms the stone facades and crowds thin out.
  • Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes—the Sassi streets are uneven stone steps and narrow passages; trainers with good grip are essential.
  • Ask your guide about visiting a local artisan workshop; many cave spaces now house ceramic makers and craftspeople worth supporting directly.
  • The meal is most enjoyable when eaten at a traditional restaurant within the Sassi rather than elsewhere—request a table with a view when booking.

Good to know

  • Package is for two people sharing one B&B room.
  • Walking tour is 2 hours on uneven historic stone terrain; moderate fitness advised.
  • Meal timing (lunch or dinner) should be confirmed at booking.
  • The Sassi has limited vehicle access; arrival by bus or train to Matera central station recommended, then taxi to B&B.
  • Some areas have low doorways and tight passages—not fully accessible for mobility devices.
