18 rooms on Via Civita
Via Civita gives Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita a specific Matera base, and the 18-room scale keeps the hotel small. Michelin awarded it 1 Key in both 2024 and 2025.
Restaurant, bar, and local sourcing
The restaurant and bar support staying in for part of the trip, with room service as a fallback. Local sourcing and farm-to-table sourcing give the dining setup a clear regional focus.
Rooftop terrace, spa, and quiet rooms
Rooftop terrace, spa, concierge, cooking classes, bicycle rental, and private dining broaden the stay beyond a room key. Quiet conditions, mountain and garden views, and a pet-friendly policy suit slower plans.
