Martulli Viaggi - Tour & Experience
Tourist information center
👍👍 Abbiamo partecipato ad una visita guidata dei Sassi di Matera della durata di 2 ore. La nostra guida Antonia è stata a dir poco eccezionale, coinvolgente, estremamente preparata sulla storia della città e dell'architettura. Mai trovata una guida così! Visita che vale il viaggio!
Complimenti

Sasso Caveoso
Historical place
👍👍 Matera is magical. It may be one of the oldest continually occupied cities in the world. Settled by the Romans since 251 BC. Stepping into the Sassi area is a trip back in time. It is now a grey monument to many cultures. Families lived in caves without running water until 1960s when people moved aw...

Belvedere di Piazza Giovanni Pascoli
Observation deck
👍 The place gives its best in the SUNSET, when lights are on and one starts seeing a never ending Nativity Scene. Simply TO CONTEMPLATE. That's all. It's worth spending a while to imagine... and empathize with big feelings of ancient sharing such as only very aged people have really experienced.

Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio detto dei "Tre Archi"
Scenic spot
👍👍 I will let the pictures decide for you if it is worth visiting.
I had my booking in the middle of city and it was the most memorable experience.
In the morning you could hear the birds singing and enjoy the city’s lights.
During the day I was exploring the streets of the movie sets of James Bond:...

Belvedere Murgia Timone
Observation deck
👍👍 Great view, but don’t stop at the “Visitors Center” if the gate on the road is open. We did and after a hot walk to a view from a field of sorts, that we could have driven farther. So, we went back , got our car and drove to a very large parking spot at the actual Belvedere. Much better views here.

Alvino Relais Mulino Contemporaneo
Hotel
😐 The location, which is 1.5 km from the city centre, is stupendous, imposing and elegant. The rooms are all large, soundproofed, well air-conditioned and clean, the bathrooms bright with noteworthy showers. Unfortunately it cannot be evaluated, at the moment, with more than three stars due to the se...

Church of Saint Peter 'Barisano'
Catholic church
👍 This was the biggest of the 3 rock churches we visited in Matera. It was more complex and had catacombs as a bonus. I strongly recommend it is worthwhile to consider buying the combined ticket for this and the other churches (plus other casa attractions). Look for the OltreLAtre symbols around town.

Church of Saint Roch
Church
👍👍 Bellissima chiesa con il parroco Don Angelo che ha veramente la vocazione del prete. Le sue omelie sono davvero notevoli. La chiesa di San Rocco ha un magnifico presepe ed un organo ibrido di stile inglese tutto meccanico. Unica pecca è che trovandosi presso una strada densamente trafficata non ha...
