The trendy city of Matera is full of attractions, such as Palombaro Lungo and Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches, and is loved for its spas and churches.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches – just one of the monuments in central Matera.
Viewpoint of Matera and the Sassi is just one of the landmarks located 0.7 mi (1 km) from central Matera, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the churches in the area.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Metaponto Beach, located 1.5 mi (2.3 km) from central Metaponto. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Ti Blu Spiaggia and La Spiaggetta.

Aquatio Cave Luxury Hotel & SPA
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel, great location right in the middle of everything. Walking is not easy but that’s the nature of Matera. Great sauna, pretty pool. Excellent breakfast! Highly recommend! "
"Excellent stay- very friendly & professional staff in a beautiful area. Only caveat is getting to the hotel- tough to find a taxi nearby or the small van that services the “Sassi” area. "
"Very well located, in the center área, cars not allowed but paid parking is within walking distance. Friendly staff and city is a must see. Different from everything I have ever seen."
"Stayed 2 nights - rooms was great. What really made the stay was the wonderful help from the desk staff. Went out of their way to help us with directions and other travel info. Thank you very much. "
