The Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita is a mesmerizing retreat in southern Italy, featuring 18 ancient cave dwellings restored into candlelit luxury.

Located in the UNESCO-listed Sassi quarters of Matera, this extraordinary property allows guests to step back in time. The remarkably atmospheric cave rooms have been preserved in their original shape, illuminated by real candles to honor their ancient origins.

Breakfast is served in a spectacular former church, completing a deeply spiritual and intensely romantic journey into the stone-age history of the Mediterranean.
