L'Artiere Dimore nei Sassi

Folded into the tufo rock of Matera's Sasso Barisano, L'Artiere Dimore nei Sassi occupies cave dwellings on Via Conche, a five-minute walk from Piazza San Pietro Caveoso and the ravine-edge views over the Sasso Caveoso. It suits couples and slow travellers seeking a quiet, historic base away from the main Via Duomo crowds.

Rooms keep the barrel-vaulted stone ceilings that once sheltered farm animals, now paired with soundproofing and single-room air conditioning. A terrace looks over the gorge toward the rupestrian churches carved into the opposite cliff.

Staff arrange walking tours on request, and private check-in accommodates late arrivals from Bari's airport shuttle.
