How to Visit Matera, Italy

"Staying here feels like stepping back to Matera’s beginnings: the five-star property leans into the caves with rooms set within tuff (stone) walls while still offering modern amenities; all 35 rooms and suites are plush, and guests have access to a massive wellness spa and a swimming pool carved directly into the rock." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
