Boutique Town Hotel
Palazzo Gattini Luxury Hotel - VRetreats, a 5-star retreat in Matera's UNESCO-listed Sassi district, transforms a historic palazzo into a modern haven of elegance and Basilicata's timeless charm.
The 20 luxurious accommodations—five Suites, three Junior Suites, and 12 Deluxe Rooms—exude sophistication with stone bathrooms, preserved regional architecture, and local stone accents. Air-conditioned rooms feature flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, Nespresso machines, minibars, and private bathrooms with Ortigia toiletries, some boasting private balconies or an exclusive suite with a private pool. A seating area with a sofa enhances the refined comfort.
Le Bubbole Restaurant offers three distinct ambiances, serving Basilicata's regional cuisine—think lamb with cardoncelli mushrooms or peperoni cruschi—paired with Aglianico del Vulture wines or artisanal cocktails. In summer, dinner unfolds on a terrace overlooking the Sassi. A breakfast buffet, crafted with local ingredients like focaccia and fresh ricotta, caters to special dietary needs, savoured in the Duomo Café or via room service.
The Gattini Spa, set in ancient cisterns, features a thermal pool, Turkish bath, hot tub, sensory showers, and a relaxation area with herbal teas, offering serene rejuvenation. A meeting room, fitness area, and 24-hour concierge curating private Sassi cave tours or Alberobello trulli visits enrich the experience, with the hotel steps from Matera's historic centre and its iconic cave dwellings.
