Corte San Pietro

Stretched along Via B. Buozzi on the ridge above Matera's Sassi, Corte San Pietro occupies a row of restored cave dwellings whose vaulted rooms still show the original tufa stone. Terraces overlook the ravine toward Sasso Caveoso, a ten-minute walk down into the historic district.

A hot tub sits on the shared terrace, and staff arrange bike tours and cooking classes centered on local cucina lucana. Breakfast can be taken in-room, useful given the property's stepped, uneven access typical of the Sassi.

Parking near the entrance suits drivers, since cars cannot reach the historic core itself.
