This luxurious hotel occupies a former 18th-century aristocratic residence of Domenico Ridola, founder of the National Archaeological Museum, in the stunning ancient town of Matera. The museum, along with the Sassi—cave houses, monasteries, and churches thought to be one of Italy's first settlements—is a short ten-minute drive away. The hotel's classic rooms and suites offer air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and satellite television. After a day of sightseeing, guests can dine in the hotel restaurant, which serves traditional local cuisine and an exceptional selection of local wines. A 24-hour reception and ample parking add to the convenience, while two fully equipped meeting rooms (accommodating 30 to 250 guests) cater to business travelers. Children aged one to seven receive a 50% discount. Pets are not allowed.
