Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita
Matera, Italy · Destination view
Why it made Lento Eighteen candlelit caves in Matera's oldest quarter, furnished with silence and very little else.
One considered alternative
Hotels like Monastero Santa Rosa.
A 17th-century monastery hung on the Amalfi cliff, its cells turned to twenty quiet rooms above an infinity pool. No two stays are interchangeable. This is the closest pairing in our deliberately small collection, with the difference made clear below.
The Lento letter
One hotel worth the journey.
The room to request, when to go, how to check the current rate, and the catch. At most monthly. No sponsored placements.
