The best area to stay in Sasso Barisano is within the Sassi itself, particularly around the Rupestrian Churches and the Gravina canyon.
This area is the heart of Matera's historic cave dwellings, offering a unique opportunity to stay in a renovated cave hotel. The main thoroughfare, Via Bruno Buozzi, winds through the district, connecting many of the key sites and providing access to various restaurants and artisan shops. The layout is a fascinating labyrinth of stairs, alleys, and small squares, with stunning views of the ancient city and the Gravina canyon at every turn.
For couples, staying in this area offers a truly romantic and distinctive experience. The unique architecture and the quiet evenings create a memorable setting. Many hotels here offer rooms carved directly into the rock, often with private balconies overlooking the Sassi, great for enjoying a sunrise or sunset together.
Travellers seeking a luxurious and unique stay will find the Sasso Barisano exceptional. The high-end cave hotels often feature bespoke furnishings, excellent dining experiences, and sometimes even private plunge pools or terraces with panoramic views.
