“Sextantio's cave nights”
Sextantio le Grotte Della Civita is an amazing cave hotel in Matera — warm upgraded cave rooms with floor heating strong hot showers welcome fruit and wine, panoramic ever-changing views, a pretty restaurant with local-ingredient breakfasts (a veggie omelette praised), and hospitable staff proud of the site's regeneration; many call it a once-in-a-lifetime stay. Caveats though: one severe review cited crude aging facilities, no sunlight, damp and mold smells and questioned the health cost; one-night stays may suffice, and rooms lacked mirrors once.
