La Corte Dei Pastori: Charming Historic Cave Residence with Panoramic Sassi View (Matera)
La Corte Dei Pastori is a unique luxury B&B, nestled in the heart of Matera's Sasso Caveoso, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Created from ancient cave dwellings, it offers an authentic and evocative stay experience, combining the charm of history with modern comfort. Its location, close to the rock on which the Church of the Madonna de l'Idris stands, offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Sassi.
The Cave Rooms: Comfort, History, and Independent Access
The B&B offers a limited number of intimate Rooms and Suites (such as Grotta, Campanile, Panorama, Suite Roccia), many of which are genuine caves carved into the tufa rock and meticulously restored, preserving historical details like mosaics or Byzantine crosses. All accommodations feature an independent entrance for absolute privacy, a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, heating, and a minibar/fridge. The most exclusive rooms also include a private Hot Tub or a panoramic balcony/terrace.
Breakfast with a View and Food & Wine Services
The highlight of La Corte Dei Pastori is its gastronomic offering and breakfast location. The Breakfast (often included) is rich and varied, featuring typical Materan traditional recipes, fresh products, and options for celiacs or those with intolerances. It is served in the dedicated room or, on mild days, on the Panoramic Terrace which offers a spectacular view of the Sasso Caveoso, the Civita, and the Gravina Canyon.
Location and Additional Activities
The location is central and strategic for exploring the Sassi and archaeological sites on foot. The property is easily accessible by car with Parking available nearby. The B&B stands out for the hospitality of the owners, who are available to recommend restaurants and organize Tours and Activities in the Sassi and the Murgia Park, including walking or cycling excursions, and local culture lessons.
