When in Italy, you just CAN’T miss this extraordinary ancient cave city. Not only does visiting Matera offer up one of the most unique settings (I mean it LITERALLY is a town of grottoes and caves), it has one of the most inspiring historical accounts I have ever come across in Italy.
Shunned and forgotten for decades, it wasn’t until just recently that Matera came back into the spotlight. In the early 90s the city was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and soon after started to generate Hollywood buzz earning a reputation as most-desired filming location for many motion pictures. Since then, Matera has come a long way, going as far as earning the title of European Capital of Culture in 2019.
When visiting Matera today, you will find a mix of historically preserved cave-houses and trendy remodeled grotto shops and hotels. Although that sounds awfully touristy, in reality Matera has impeccably rebuilt on its past fusing its historical identity and traditions with the demands of today’s modern society. It is a true gem and thanks to its remote location, it still remains relatively off the beaten path with respect to other more crowded cities in southern Italy.
In this post I will outline everything you need to know to plan a foolproof trip to Matera. From what activities and things to do in Matera, down to specific restaurant and hotel suggestions, this guide covers all the travel tips you need to know.
So, without further ado, let’s get started by addressing some FAQ’s when planning your visit to Matera, Italy.

Visiting Matera: What to Know Before you Go
So, before we head into the minute details of what to include in your Matera itinerary, it’s first important to know a few things before traveling there so that you can better plan your trip to avoid any impracticalities. I 100% guarantee that if you consider the following aspects BEFORE booking your trip to Matera your vacation will go much more smoothly and you won’t run into any unexpected surprises!
Visiting Matera with Kids – Can it Be Done?
First thing’s first is a question I get a lot… is Matera suitable for kids? Well, it depends! Visiting Matera, or at least the historical downtown called Sassi di Matera, involves a great deal of steps and staircases. The entire town develops as a series of winding pedestrian alleys that descend through the layers of stacked grottoes (caves). That is to say that Matera is not stroller friendly in the slightest.
Having said that, if your kids are older than stroller age or you are okay with using a baby carrier for the better part of your visit, then Matera can absolutely be done with kids.
**The same thing applies if you are in need of a wheelchair or have a disability– if this is the case, I strongly urge you to consider if stairways and steps are something you feel comfortable taking on.
Driving in Matera – What to Be Aware of
If you’re new to driving in Italy, you must familiarize yourself with our good ol’ friend the ‘ZTL.’ ZTL in Italian means ‘Zona a Traffico Limitato’, (limited traffic zone). Simply put, these are areas that are restricted to many types of traffic. As a general rule assume that when you see this sign you cannot drive through. Usually, depending on the time of day, 2-wheeled vehicles and residents are allowed entry and can pass through, but it can get really confusing.
I highly suggest you to be on the lookout for ZTL signs and to not drive through whatever the indications say. Or at least doublecheck with a local if you can indeed drive through- trust me, you don’t want a traffic fine spoiling your trip!
Choosing your Accommodation in Matera – What to Factor?
Because traffic is limited inside the Sassi, it is crucial you consider this when booking your accommodation. Why? Well number one, if you have your heart set on staying inside the Sassi area, you most likely will have to park your car outside of the downtown. Usually, you can park in a secure paid parking garage and your car will be safe. We, however, were uncomfortable with this and exceedingly cautious as we had just bought our brand-new motorcycle and didn’t want to leave it overnight far away.
Number two, you have to factor in your luggage. If you have a lot of heavy suitcases remember that you might have to lug your bags around town (and thus steps) to get from your parked car to your hotel. Of course, certain accommodations depending on their location or star rating (luxury vs. budget) may have either a drop-off zone and/or valet service.
We factored these aspects in when planning our stay and decided to stay right outside of Matera. Don’t fret however! There are numerous options both inside and outside of the Sassi to choose from!
To read more on the different types of accommodations available when visiting Matera skip to Where to Stay in Matera.
Can Matera be Done as a Day Trip?
No, in my opinion one day in Matera is not enough. The city has so much to offer that a daytrip would really only get you feeling rushed and barely scratching at the surface. Plus, you wouldn’t get to experience the change in atmosphere between morning and night (which is amazing by the way).
So, how many days do you need in Matera? I suggest you stay a minimum of 2 days in Matera (two full days) to really have a chance to soak in all the history at a manageable and easy pace – I mean, you also want to relax and enjoy that Italian ‘dolce far niente’ right?
We recommend you incorporate Matera on a Puglia road trip. Check out my guide to the best beaches and towns in Puglia here.
When is the Best Time to Visit Matera?
If you do not like hot weather DO NOT plan a trip to Matera in the months of July and August. Besides the crowds and the inflated summer prices, Matera can get miserably scorching during the summer months. And because most of the caves reflect quite brightly, there is not a lot of opportunity to escape the sun.
If you would like to venture into other parts of the region of Basilicata and do some hiking, April and May are the greenest months (although you might get scattered showers especially in April). June is a good compromise between weather conditions and natural landscapes. September is a good month too, although the landscape at this time will be rather arid and dried up.
Christmastime also can be quite striking as it isn’t uncommon for Matera to be sprinkled with snow during the winter months. (Caution however as it can get quite cold!)
Before heading into our Matera itinerary, a most burning question is left when it comes to accommodation in Matera… should you stay in a boutique cave hotel in the heart of the Sassi?!
Should you Stay in a Boutique Cave Hotel in the Sassi di Matera?
To answer that question, it depends on how comfortable you are with the factors discussed in the FAQs section: Choosing your Accommodation in Matera.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you okay with having to park your car in a parking garage outside of downtown? (You most likely have to pay a daily fee)
- If you’re not staying in a hotel that offers drop-off or valet service, are you okay with having to carry your luggage up and down stairs from your car to your hotel?
- Are you willing to spend, or can you allocate enough budget to stay in a hotel that offers valet service?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you can definitely stay in a boutique cave hotel! The experience is rather unique, quite like staying in a trullo in Alberobello!
Where to Stay in Matera, Italy
Here are some of the best accommodations in the area according to what type of hotel and/or where you are looking to book your stay.
Best Cave Hotels in Sassi di Matera
Luxyry – Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita
If you want to catapult yourself in a real-life fairytale, the cave complex at Sextantio will leave you in pure bliss. With spa treatments available at your request and exclusive candlelight dinner options, Sextantio is the epitome of cave luxury.
Mid-Range – Le Dodici Lune
If you want a luxury cave room at a mid-range price tag, this is your pick! Located in secluded Sasso Caveoso, this hotel overlooking the Murgia ravine offers some of the best views in Matera.
Best B&Bs in Matera Sassi
If you don’t necessarily need to be in a cave but absolutely can’t do without a great view of the Sassi, here is a fantastic B&B to try out:
Mid-Range – Gradelle San Nicola B&B
Spacious and modern rooms serving an exquisite breakfast on the panoramic terrace – what more could you want?
Staying Overnight Outside the Sassi
If, however, you want to save some money or are not comfortable leaving your car unattended, there are some great options right outside of Matera! We opted for this beautiful Mediterranean-style Masseria where we had our very own private stone patio and a fantastic pool and restaurant on site.
Residence Masseria Santa Lucia was a great base for us as we had free parking on site and could easily get on the road to explore other nearby attractions outside of Matera. Located just 10 minutes outside of the Sassi, our room was very large for Italian standards and the walk-in shower was divine after having climbed so many steps during the day.
The courtyard and outdoor grounds at the Masseria made for such an idyllic countryside feeling; it really felt as if we were staying in our very own cozy resort. To top everything off, the hotel restaurant and piano bar not only had exquisite food but a wonderful ambience to wind down after a full day of exploring.
So, now that we’ve covered the most crucial things to consider let’s finally get down to touring!
Visiting Matera– Discovering the City of Caves in Italy
Upon arriving in Matera, you will notice its rather remote location. Nestled deep in the mountainsides of the Basilicata region in southern Italy, the cave city quite suddenly unfolds before you, gazing back with the proudest and noblest of stares.
Rumored to be one of the three oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world after Aleppo and Jericho, it is no surprise that visiting the Sassi of Matera feels like stepping back in time into an ancient biblical town *(to be clear, Matera is NOT a biblical town). With first recordings of human establishment as early as the Paleolithic Era (that is to say 10.000 years B.C.!!!), the sheer age of this town makes for quite a moving experience.
If you’re interested in reading about the history of Matera (I know most of you are eager to get to the actual Matera itinerary), skip to the Introduction to the History of Matera.
Best Things to Do in Matera
Before starting to wonder, it’s useful to look at a map of Matera and get a basic understanding of how Matera is structured.
Matera is actually divided into 3 sections. You have the older downtown which is the part of city that is carved into rock that is called Sassi (which literally means rock in Italian). The Sassi area is divided into 2 sections. You have the Sasso Caveoso which is the area to the south that is a bit more rugged. In this area you will find many authentic abandoned cave houses and the area in general has less shops and restaurants with compared to other parts of the Sassi.
On the northern side instead, is Sasso Barisano, which is more modern and livelier than Sasso Caveoso. Here, you are spoiled for choice for hip restaurants, shops or places for aperitivo.
Lastly, you have Piano di Matera, which is the newer part of Matera and has a more “common city layout.” (Here there are no caves).

Start with a Visit at Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario
To start out your day I highly suggest you make your first stop at Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario, one of the best things to see in Matera! Buried deep in Sasso Caveoso, the Casa Grotta is an authentic cave house that was inhabited up until 1956, when the family residing there, the Vizziello family, was forced to evacuate.
Inside, you will find the typical furnishings of the time and a guide will explain what a typical day-in-the-life consisted of. Because I don’t want to completely spoiler the visit, I will only mention a couple of details.
The Vizziello family included 9 children, yet the cavehouse itself had only one bed! The family, like all families at that time, kept animals (donkeys, chickens etc.) inside in order to use as a source of heat.
During your visit you will get to learn how families provided for themselves, what they cultivated, how they stored water and get a general look into the hardships that families in Matera had to deal with each and every day.
As a part of the tour, you will also get to see what an icehouse looked like and how it worked (how snow was gathered to collect water) and there is also a video room that plays an exceptional video explaining the history of Matera. The video is about 25 mins (you can come and go as you please) and I found it to be so extraordinary that I was actually brought to tears!
The visit to Casa Grotta gives you a great historical background on Matera that allows you to subsequently visit the rest of the city with a deeper understanding and heightened sense of appreciation. Of the things to see in Matera this was definitely our favorite!
VISITING DETAILS | Entry fee to the Casa Grotta is 5 euro for adults and is discounted or even free for children depending on their age. To check their visiting hours please visit their website for updated hours.
NOTE ON CROWDS! We visited early April and there were very few people visiting. We know however that Casa Grotta can get VERY crowded during the summer season so keep that in mind if you’re traveling during peak season.
Wander Around Sasso Caveoso
To proceed with your tour around town, one of the best ways to enjoy Matera is to simply get lost wandering its meandering alleys. As you explore, you’ll uncover intact caves from the 1950s carved amongst a maze of winding steps and picturesque courtyards that oh-so characterize the town.
With panorama terraces at every corner, trust me when I say you will want to take your time uncovering each and every stone and alley. From spontaneous architecture to romantic little fountains (like the Fontana dell’Amore), the levels of sheer visual beauty that you will encounter while visiting Matera will no doubt take your breath away.
Word to Know: Rupestrian Church ( chiesa rupestre in Italian)
A Rupestrian Church is a church that has been carved into rock or natural caves.
Discover the Rupestrian Churches of the Parco della Murgia
Just on the other side of the ravine from the Sassi, The Park of Rupestrian Churches (chiese rupestri), contains over 150 rupestrian churches sporadically sculpted in the rock and natural grottoes of the area. With a deep gorge cutting through the park, the landscape of the Murgie is one of the most unique in all of the Mediterranean. Not to mention the incredibly preserved state of the rupestrian churches!
You can freely roam about the grounds and explore the churches (from the outside) on your own. If, however, you want to have a deeper understanding of the history and timeline behind each church and get a chance to go inside, I suggest you book a guided tour of the Park.
Explore the Beautiful Churches inside the Sassi
Not nearly as old as the rupestrian churches across the ravine, there are a few churches worth visiting right in the heart of the Sassi.
Visit Santa Maria de Idris
A rupestrian church right in the center of Sasso Caveoso, you can’t miss this church… I mean literally! Perched at the top of a rock formation you can see it and its imposing cross from just about anywhere in the city. The church has been rebuilt and restored a number of times throughout the years. We were crunched for time and since we had read that the interior was not as exciting as other churches in Matera, we decided to skip the interior. The outside however is truly fascinating and unexpected! *Note that there is a small entry fee of a few euro.
San Pietro e Paolo al Caveoso
Perhaps more impressive is San Pietro e Paolo al Caveoso for its incredible location, teetering right on the precipice of the ravine below. Although not a rupestrian church, the scenery surrounding it is quite evocative. You will also find a fair number of beautiful paintings inside the baroque church.
Hike out to the best view of Matera at Belvedere Murgia Timone
Because walking around Matera entails taking a picture every 30 seconds, you might be thinking you don’t need any more “scenic views”. TRUST ME me when I say this panorama point is different. It’s no surprise that Mel Gibson chose this very spot as the location for Christ’s crucifixion in the Passion of Christ. Of the things to do in Matera, hiking here was our favorite!
How to Get to Belvedere Murgia Timone
Getting to the Belvedere Murgia Timone is exciting. The exact point is on the other side of the Gravina (ravine) so you will be hiking down into the gorge and hiking back up on the other side. The hike begins at the parking lot on via Madonna delle Virtú. You’ll see a dirt path start to descend down into the canyon.
The hike first descends into the ravine where you reach the river (Torrente Gravina). From here, you will cross over to the other side on a suspended bridge (it’s suspended about 9 meters in the air) and then proceed to make your way up the mountain again. The whole hike is about 5km and takes a couple of hours (roundtrip).
Once you start getting close to the top, you will come across dozens of natural cave dwellings from the Neolithic era. Wander the various dirt paths and scope out your favorite cave. The views you get of the Sassi from this side of the ravine are absolutely stunning! One of the most romantic views, this is a great spot if you’re thinking about proposing in Italy. (The lighting is absolutely spectacular at sunset)!
At the top, you finally reach the Belvedere Point which opens up on one side onto the plunging gorge and breathtaking Sassi, and the other side onto the Parco delle Murgie. The Park is huge and is a great place for trekking (literally hundreds of trails if you have time to hike). If you don’t have time you might consider stopping for a picnic. Up top on this plateau is where you’ll find many of the rupestrian churches we discussed earlier – consider a tour, depending on the guide they also bring you down to the grottoes and explain their history!
Can you Get to the Belvedere Murgia Timone Viewpoint by Car?
Absolutely YES! If you’re not eager to hike or if it’s too hot, you can get to the viewpoint by car. Just type in “Belvedere Murgia Timone” and you’ll be led right to the parking lot above the observation deck.
The drive in takes you through the Altopiano della Murgia Materana (a part of the Parco delle Murgie). We went in late April and it was just stunning stretches of green rolling meadows with cattle grazing here and there.
BEWARE! Matera can get really hot in the summer and most of the hike is completely without shade. Consider hiking in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid sweltering temperatures!
It is only a 15 min drive to get here but beware that on the road leading up to the parking lot you’ll see a bar/parking barrier with a sign that reads that the road is only open to limited traffic. We asked many guides and even called the municipal police for clarifications, but no one knew who could pass and when. So, to be sure, we parked farther away at the Jazzo Gattini Visiter Center and walked the rest of the way.
Don’t have a car? No problem, there are many guided tours that come here via shuttle. Or if you don’t want to participate in a guided tour there is supposedly a bus that departs from Piazza Matteotti (but info regarding this bus line is rather scarce and vague).
Check out different Panorama Points inside the Sassi of Matera
Although you will find that there is a stunning viewpoint at basically every corner around Matera, the following panoramic spots around Matera give you different perspectives around town.
- Belvedere di Piazza Giovanni Pascoli gives the best view of Sasso Caveoso
- The Convent of Saint Augustine gives you a great view of the other side of Sasso Caveoso
- Piazza Duomo gives the best views of Sasso Barisano
- Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio gives the best view of the Cattedrale (cathedral and its belltower)
Ape nei Sassi – Ride on a Tuk Tuk around Matera
Another great way to discover the Sassi is to hop on board a tuk-tuk. (In Italian they are called ape cars [ah-peh] which means bee)! Although they can’t go everywhere (certain streets are too narrow and only open to pedestrians), most tours hit all the major spots. It’s a fun way to get your grounding on the city- most drivers are incredibly friendly and super engaging as they recount Matera’s history.
Visit Casa Noha
Another fantastic historical stop is visiting Casa Noha, a private residence donated and turned into a multimedia exhibition. The 25-minute video itinerary explains the challenging history that brought Matera from shame to glory.
VISITING DETAILS | Entry fee to the Casa Noha is 6 euro for adults and is discounted or even free for children depending on their age. The videos play at 40-minute intervals so arrive before to book your slot. To check their visiting hours please visit their website for updated hours.
Unwind with an Evening Cocktail and Admire the Sassi
To finish off visiting Matera, unwind with a great aperitivo overlooking the Sassi. Sasso Barisano has countless options although if you’re looking for something right in the middle of the Sassi, Zipa Café is absolutely amazing and brand new, right next door to Madonna dell’Idris.
If you have extra time, a couple more places you can visit are Palombaro Lungo (a massive cistern dating back centuries) or the contemporary sculpture exhibit at MUSMA museum. We didn’t go to these places but have read very good things about them!
Matera Restaurants
No post is complete if you don’t discuss food, especially when talking about Italy! I asked for numerous restaurant recommendations before traveling to Matera and narrowed down my list to the following three restaurants when visiting. We personally tried each one of these and trust me when I tell you that these restaurants served some of the best dishes I’ve ever had in Italy (and I’ve been living here since 2008)!
Latteria Rizzi – ($$)
Best Overall – the Highest Quality Ingredients
Latteria Rizzi was definitely our favorite pick in Matera. Open since 1945 and originally a dairy shop, the Latteria today doesn’t just hold one of the best wine collections and fine cheese assortments in town, but it offers up some of the most refined and authentic dishes you can experience in the Lucanian cuisine (cuisine of the Basilicata region). A very intimate setting (there are very few tables!) that offers a dignified and soft ambiance, the staff at Latteria explain in detail every dish on the menu and help you find the perfect paired wine. We were left absolutely speechless with every item we ordered!
Want to make sure you’re following the correct Italian etiquette while eating or ordering at a restaurant? Make sure you don’t make one of these embarrassing mistakes while in Italy…
Trattoria i Due Sassi – $$
Homey with Views
If you’re looking for outdoor dining, this restaurant had a lovely terrace right in Sasso Caveoso. But at Trattoria i Due Sassi you don’t just get views and an overpriced meal… on the contrary, we were so impressed with their simple yet highly curated food. A very homey feel, this is our runner-up pick for trying genuine cuisine in Matera. Make sure you try the ‘Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa alla Materana’ here!
L’Abbondanza Lucana – $$$
Gourmet Authentic Food
One of the most established restaurants in Matera, make sure you book ahead of time if you wish to come here! We didn’t manage to reserve a spot, so we opted to dine at their sister restaurant L’Abbondanza Lucana Bistrot (which offers a very similar menu right next-door). An elegant but not pretentious setting, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here- in particular the shared appetizer was not only delicious but very generous in portions. Another great choice if you’re looking to experience fine local cuisine in Matera!
What to Eat in Matera
Before ordering at a restaurant in Italy, it’s important you know what dishes or specialties are typical to the region you are in. One of the most vegetarian friendly cuisines you’ll find in Italy, here are some local dishes that you should absolutely try when visiting Matera:
Peperoni Cruschi – you will find this crunchy topping basically everywhere you go and on any dish. Described as sweet crispy pepper chips, peperoni cruschi are essentially fried peppers. They can be served as a garnishing or as an aperitivo snack much like chips… they are absolute heaven and very easy to get hooked on!
Crapiata Materana – a typical Italian poor man’s dish, this velvety and creamy legume soup is a true tastebud orgasm. Don’t be fooled by the fact that “they are only vegetables.” The slow cooking behind this recipe makes for the most mouthwatering beans and potato soup you will ever have!
Orecchiete Cime di Rapa alla Materana – typically an Apulian dish, this revisitation of the pasta with turnip tops includes a fried breadcrumb and peperoni cruschi garnishing. If you’ve had the original dish in Puglia, I highly suggest you try this more flavorful interpretation!
Purè Fave e Cicoria – once again back with a typical peasant dish (also original to nearby Puglia), this fava bean purée with chicory is simple yet bursting with flavor. It’s the perfect side dish or starter to accompany your meal.
Pane di Matera – chances are you will have seen this massive quirky looking loaf of bread while touring the Sassi. The sourdough bread is made with a local grain and lievito madre and has a very long fermentation process. The bread can stay fresh up to a week!
How to Get to Matera Italy
Getting to Matera is not as hard as people make it out to be. If you’re flying in, the nearest airport is in Bari, in nearby Puglia. If you’re coming to Matera on a day trip tour, chances are you will be coming via tour bus. If instead you are coming on your own, the best way to get to Matera is to drive. We normally always rent a car although in Matera we actually opted to drive in via our new motorcycle! *(Remember that you cannot drive into the Sassi di Matera so you will be leaving your car in a parking structure outside of the downtown).
The drive time from Bari to Matera is approximately 50 minutes (so it’s super close!).
If you are uncomfortable with driving in Italy, you can get to Matera via train (although if not departing from Bari you will most likely have a non-direct train where you will have to stop and change). I normally don’t promote traveling via train in southern Italy as the schedules in the south are usually very limited and can frequently run into delays.
You can also opt to travel via bus, however if you’re hoping to get a chance to explore neighboring cities, you won’t have this flexibility with a bus. For getting in and out of Matera via bus (and you’re not interested in exploring other areas), Flixbus is a good company to check out!
Introduction to History of Matera
Now I couldn’t finish writing this post on Matera and not briefly touch on its astounding history, could I? For all of you history enthusiasts, Matera will take you on a J-O-U-R-N-E-Y!
From a position of well-being and lively commerce in the last millennia, Matera was quickly cast away and forgotten in the 1800s upon losing its position as province capital for Basilicata.
What thereafter happened is quite unimaginable. Essentially isolated from the rest of the region (also as a result of its inconvenient location), Matera practically froze in time. As the world around evolved and developed, Matera slowly fell into the deepest of poverties completely cut off from the rest of the world.
It wasn’t until the 1930s when Carlo Levi, an antifascist activist passing through Matera while in exile, discovered and exposed the city’s poverty. His memoir Christ Stopped at Eboli rose so much awareness on the issue that the Italian Government decided to intervene.
In a time where airplanes and medicine were the norm, the people of Matera were still living with no electricity, no running water, no sewage system and with an infant mortality reaching 50%. As a result, in 1948 Matera was labeled the “the shame of Italy.”
In the 1950s the Italian government began the forced evacuation of the Sassi area to relocate the community into newly constructed public housing suitable for living. A good third of the population however did not want to uproot and leave but were gradually forced. In 1986, the process for requalification and modernization began in order to improve the conditions of the Sassi and to make the Matera caves fit for residential use once again.
Slowly Matera became re-established. The profound identity of the ‘Materani’ not only permitted them to pick themselves up again, but the city came back stronger… literally sweeping the world of its feet when in 2019 it was proclaimed the European Capital of Culture. A story of resilience and rebirth, the determined and proud spirit that grounds the city is something that I guarantee will thoroughly move you on your visit there.
Things to do Near Matera
If you’re interested in exploring other activities or towns while in Basilicata, these are some great stops to add to your Matera itinerary!

So, there it is guys… possibly the most extensive digital guide on visiting Matera ever published. I sincerely hope that this post can help you plan the trip of your dreams and if anything, I hope I’ve managed to convince you that Materia is ABSOLUTELY worth visiting.
