Torretta ai Sassi
La Torretta ai Sassi is a charming place that will surprise you with its unique charm. This ancient building, recently restored, stands majestically on the Gravina Canyon, in the suggestive context of the Sasso Caveoso in Matera, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Through the garden, you can access the single rooms, all equipped with every comfort, with private bathroom, digital and satellite TV, and Wi-Fi connection. Guests can also enjoy panoramic terraces on different levels, which offer a breathtaking view.
From sunrise to sunset, surrounded by this panorama, you will experience unforgettable moments of emotion. La Torretta is like an open window to the Sassi of Matera, allowing you to look out with your eyes and your heart. The spectacle that presents itself in front of you, with its imposing majesty, will leave you speechless.
Below, among the stones, the Gravina winds its way, while in front the splendid scenery of the Sassi and the rocky landscape of the Murgico plateau extends, testifying to the presence of man since prehistoric times. During the restoration works, numerous fossils were found in the tuff of the building, which tell the ancient history of the place and the emergence from the waters of the limestone mass that constitutes the harsh and wild territory of the Murgia.

Hello, my name is Valentina and my family and I have been managing the wonderful Torretta ai Sassi since 2012.
I am a freelance journalist and have been working at the Matera Hospital Cup for a good 7 years. I really love to travel and have a dream of opening a Sphynx cat breeding farm.
Matera, a treasure of humanity and the European Capital of Culture in 2019. This captivating city is the third oldest in the world, after Aleppo and Jericho, due to its long history of human settlement. The Torretta is located in the heart of the historic center of Sasso Caveoso, an intricate and evocative labyrinth of caves and streets.
