The best area to stay in Matera for pet-friendly hotels is generally within the Sassi districts, particularly around the Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano, as these areas offer the most accommodation options that welcome pets.


The Sassi itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its ancient cave dwellings and rock-cut churches. It's a truly unique place to stay, with narrow, winding alleys and staircases connecting the various levels. You'll find many guesthouses and boutique hotels carved directly into the tufa rock, offering a blend of historic charm and modern comforts. The main piazza, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, is a good reference point just outside the Sassi, and from there you can easily access both Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano.


For travellers with pets, staying within the Sassi offers the convenience of being right in the heart of Matera's most iconic area. Many hotels here are accustomed to guests with well-behaved animals and often provide amenities like pet bowls or beds upon request. The pedestrian nature of the Sassi means you can easily take your pet for walks through the historic streets, though be prepared for steps and uneven surfaces.


Alternatively, some pet-friendly hotels are located just outside the Sassi, in the more modern "Piano" area. This can be a good option for those who prefer easier access by car or a more conventional hotel experience, while still being only a short walk from the Sassi.

For pet-friendly hotels in Matera offering outdoor spaces, consider Pianelle Resort, Aquatio Cave Luxury Hotel & SPA, Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita, and Fra i Sassi - Residence.

The best pet-friendly activities in Matera focus on exploring the Sassi areas and the Murgia Materana Park.


For travellers with pets, walking through the Sassi di Matera is a must. Many of the ancient cave dwellings, now shops, restaurants, and hotels, are accessible from the cobbled streets. You can wander with your pet through the Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso, admiring the unique architecture and stopping for photos. Ensure your pet is on a lead and you carry waste bags.


The Murgia Materana Park, located across the Gravina canyon from the Sassi, offers extensive walking trails and breathtaking views of Matera. It's an excellent option for active couples or solo travellers with pets who enjoy hiking. There are numerous paths, from gentle strolls to more challenging routes, leading to ancient cave churches and panoramic viewpoints. You and your pet can spend hours exploring the natural landscape and archaeological sites.


While many restaurants have outdoor seating, it's always a good idea to check in advance if pets are welcome.
