Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita
MATERA, BASILICATA, ITALY
Our take
You sleep inside a Paleolithic cave cut into the Matera ravine — stone walls, candlelight, silence so complete it has weight. Breakfast is organic and local, the views across the Sassi are genuinely arresting. This is for people who find meaning in a place rather than a thread count. Skip it entirely if you require a pool, a spa, or anything resembling a resort rhythm — none of that exists here. Two or three nights is the move. More than that and you're romanticising discomfort.
Notable Features
- Stunning cave rooms with modern amenities
- Breathtaking views of the Matera landscape
- Organic, locally-sourced breakfast
