Monastero Santa Rosa
Conca dei Marini, Italy

Monasteries, palazzos, caves and farmhouses, restored with restraint. Each stay comes from a traveler with a designer’s eye who slept there and vouches for it. Hotels cannot pay to join. One new stay a month, at most.

In Matera the rooms have no televisions, few sockets, and walls that were cut before Rome had a name. Sextantio gives you darkness, stone, a bed, and a candle. We slept better there than anywhere on this list.
