Sleeping in Matera in July means choosing carefully where to rest after a day spent under full sun on the limestone of the Sassi. We know this because we live in this city every day, inside caves that time has carved into the tufa rock since the eighteenth century, and which we have managed to transform into cool, quiet retreats specifically to cope with the Matera summer. At L’Antica Conceria, our bed & breakfast in the heart of Sasso Caveoso, the barrel vaults, independent entrances for each room and outdoor gardens overlooking the Gravina all work together to keep the spaces naturally pleasant even when the temperature soars outside. We’re waiting for you in Via Casalnuovo, just a few steps from the historic centre, in a location that lets you experience Matera without the burden of getting about under the sun. To cope with the city during the hottest hours, just follow a few simple precautions: always carry water, a hat and comfortable shoes, and book the most popular tours during the cooler times of day, early morning or late evening.
