5 Matera: a marvel among the stones
To experience the thrill of sleeping in the “stones” of Matera, the address is one of the ancient houses of Corte San Pietro. Here Marisa and Fernando Ponte welcome visitors to refined residences in which discreet furnishings and shades of white and beige blend with tuff walls and wooden and cortèn iron elements, thus giving an environment with a rustic flavor but of great charm.
And by relying on them you can live experiences linked to the territory. Like cooking classes, wine tours and tours of the food shops. And, of course, guided tours of the Sassi and the surroundings of Matera.
