Corte San Pietro
Choose Corte San Pietro for a few nights among the stone lanes of Matera.

Spend the night among Matera’s stone lanes. The viewpoints feel different early in the morning and after dinner, when the day visitors have gone and the lights come on across the ravine.
Walk the lanes of Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso at different times of day. From the belvederes you can read the shape of the ravine, then descend into the neighbourhoods to see how churches, steps and homes fit into the rock.
Arrange arrival around the location of your cave hotel. Leave a clear morning for an introductory walk and another part of the day free for the upper town around Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

Begin on foot in the Sassi, then use a hire car for the trulli country and the Salento coast.


Balance the Amalfi Coast with quieter stretches of southern Italy before finishing among the stone lanes of Matera.
