Palazzo Gattini: A Noble Palace Above the Sassi of Matera

Palazzo Gattini occupies the former residence of Matera's most noble family, on the Piazza Duomo at the highest point of the ancient city in Basilicata. Below it spread the Sassi, the extraordinary cave dwellings carved into the rock over millennia that make Matera a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most atmospheric places to stay in Italy.

The dining celebrates the region. Le Bubbole serves a gastronomic take on Lucanian cuisine from fresh local ingredients; the Rooftop Garden offers sunset aperitifs with breathtaking views over the Sassi; and Le Chiacchiere is an intimate bar for cocktails and fine wines.

For an atmospheric stay above the Sassi of Matera, Palazzo Gattini is a standout.
