Sextantio le Grotte della Civita, Matera

Description: Sextantio le Grotte della Civita

This spectacular property enjoys a unique location, set in the ancient caves of Civita Sassi di Matera UNESCO heritage site, in the heart of the Murgia Materana natural park. Authentically restored from these centuries old cave dwellings, Sextantio le Grotte della Civita offers exclusive accommodation and dining experiences in a unique setting.

Perfectly situated for exploring this magnificent region, Sextantio le Grotte della Civita offers an immense range of activities in and around the property. These range from guided tours of Sassi di Matera, both by day and by night, horse riding, cycling and trekking in the Murgia Materana natural park, cooking and bread making courses, to wine tastings and candle-lit dinners in the 13th century rock hewn church.

All rooms and suites at Sextantio le Grotte della Civita have been sympathetically restored using local materials and antique furnishings. As in all Sextantio's projects, environmental concerns are to the fore, along with respect for the original forms and materials of these historic dwellings. Due to the unique nature of the caves, air-conditioning is unnecessary, while in cooler months underfloor heating and open fireplaces create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
