If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches— just one of the monuments in central Matera.
Viewpoint of Matera and the Sassi is just one of the landmarks located 0.7 mi (1 km) from central Matera, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the churches in the area.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Metaponto Beach, located 1.5 mi (2.3 km) from central Metaponto. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at The Philosophical Beach, Ti Blu Spiaggia, and La Spiaggetta.
"This hotel offers an outstanding experience, characterized by its prime location and exceptional customer service. The views from our balcony were breathtaking, and the wellness spa, featuring a Turkish bath and saunas, was remarkable. I highly recommend this hotel. "
"The Pianelle Resort is beautiful and is in a great location in Matera, with many restaurants and attractions easily walkable from there. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and very unique. Shuttle service from a parking garage is easy, so visitors should not be concerned about not being able to park at the resort. The front office staff was great and their recommendations of restaurants and tours were spot-on. The morning breakfast was excellent with plenty of delicious options. We highly recommend. "
"This resort is about 15 minute drive from the historic district of Matera. I had stayed in the center of town in the other cities we visited in Puglia. I liked the quietness of this location. The room was elegantly furnished with high arching ceiling. The staff was excellent and the breakfast was great. "
