Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita

What Surprised MICHELIN Inspectors This Year

"Set within the Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and embracing the albergo diffuso concept, these 18 cave rooms overlook the Alta Murgia National Park and deliver an experience I found unforgettable — and, as a claustrophobic and astigmatic with terrible night vision, unexpectedly vivid. Despite modern comforts like a king bed and bathtub, sleeping in the cave felt completely blind, with no natural light and only a few dim lamps and candles casting flickering shadows on the walls; even so, the night was restorative, and although the dawn didn’t wake me, I rose well rested and eager to step back into the sunlight." - The MICHELIN Guide
