Matera Sassi is the area, where people until the fifties lived in caves carved inside the rocky limestone land. This is one of the Unesco heritage areas and this year 2019 Matera is also one of European culture capitals.
Our room here is also in a cave, it looks rough outside, but inside all is nicely renovated. It was a bit difficult to find this place in the old town, but a friendly reception boy came to fetch us after the dark.
