Stay in a Cave in Matera
Heading to southern Italy and looking for something unique to try? How about spending a night caveman style? Well, caveman style with all the modern amenities, that is. Humans have inhabited the area in which the small town of Matera sits since Paleolithic times, living in cozy caves that developed over centuries into modern homes. Located in the most ancient section of the city (now a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Sassi are homes carved straight into the rock. Tourists can stay in one of several cave hotels that have been renovated and modernized with private baths, Internet, heating and air-conditioning.
Among the hotels to check out are the Locanda di San Martino, the Caveoso Hotel, L'Hotel in Pietra, the Hotel Sassi and the romantic Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita.
