Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita

Eighteen candlelit caves in Matera's oldest quarter, furnished with silence and very little else.

No televisions, few sockets, walls cut before Rome had a name. Sextantio gives you darkness, stone, a bed, and a candle. We slept better here than anywhere on this list.
