Basilicata, Italy hotels from ahotelinitaly.com - view and reserve online

Undoubtedly one of Italy's most unusual accommodation options, this Matera hotel has been built around San Martino, a de-consecrated church in the renowned Sassi historical district. Rooms have been painstakingly fashioned out of the ancient cave-style dwellings that have been home to local people for several thousand years.

Ideally placed for guests to experience the unique charms of Matera's historical Sassi district, this three-star hotel is housed in a conversion of two 18th-century buildings that blends in seamlessly with its impressive historical surroundings.

This Maratea hotel enjoys a secluded spot right on the seafront, allowing guests to enjoy the pretty Tyrrhenian coast untroubled by the hordes of tourists who might be expected at such an attractive resort.

Lying just south of the town of Maratea in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, the Hotel La Tana is close to the inspiring Tyrrhenian coast, and complimentary minibuses are laid on to help guests reach both the beach and the train station.

This Senise hotel is ideally situated for the plethora of marvellous scenery that this attractive part of Italy affords. It is here that the rivers Serrapotamo and Sinni come together, near the Monte Cotugno dam, one of the largest in Europe.
