"Aquatio Cave Luxury Hotel & Spa leans into the region’s understandable adoration of its caves. The five-star accommodation is designed so that visitors feel like they stepped back in time, all the way to Matera’s beginnings thousands of years ago. Your room within tuff (or stone) walls does come with all the modern amenities you need for a great stay — all 35 rooms and suites are decked out in plush furnishings, and guests have access to a massive wellness spa and a swimming pool carved directly into the rock." - Travel + Leisure Editors
