When the town of Matera was originally constructed, it was built in such a way as to remain invisible from view. Houses and churches were created in caves set in the mountainsides, and this was how it remained right up until the 1950’s. Holiday accommodation in Matera is in the newer northern area of the town and offers unique access to this amazing area. Villas in Matera give you a chance to explore the ‘Sassi’ the old town and see how, until recently people lived here.
This is a unique place, unlike any other town in Italy. The town is built on both sides of a ravine, the only two structures that used to be visible on the approach were the castle and the cathedral, both of which are worthy of a visit. Matera villas offer a unique opportunity to thoroughly explore this strange town. For such a strange town it has more than its share of churches, many of which are protected monuments, some have been renovated and some have led to amazing discoveries of 14th century frescos and other ancient art works. Apartments in Matera may offer you a view of the town square where another amazing archaeological discovery was made.
Explore the old town; perhaps you could even take dinner in one of the caves that has become a restaurant. Discover what lies beneath your feet in the town square - you will be amazed at the ancient engineering skills on display there. Holiday rentals in Matera give visitors the chance to experience this unique town for themselves, with all of its quirks and uniqueness. Holiday homes in Matera although authentically Italian aren’t going to be a cave dwelling in the Sassi, though they will certainly put you in a great place to view them.
