Matera

Matera is a city in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, set among the rolling hills and ravines of the Murgia plateau. It is best known for the Sassi, ancient cave dwellings carved into the rock that form one of the country's most distinctive historic centres. Buyers and renters here find a quiet, walkable city with a strong sense of place, drawing on its unusual architecture and its setting between the coast and the inland hills.
