Vetera Matera is a so-called albergo diffuso. This means that the rooms are not located in a single building, but are spread across various locations in the city. Some rooms are carved into the rock, others lie on the piani nobili, The noble floor. In the past, the most important reception rooms and living quarters were often located on this floor, which is why they often have slightly higher ceilings and larger windows than the rooms on the other floors. At Vetera Matera, you also get a beautiful view.

The nice thing about a hotel spread out like this is that you really feel like a local for a moment. To get to the restaurant or the spa, you walk through alleys, across courtyards, over terraces, and through stone passageways. A short morning walk before breakfast is a nice bonus. Not long distances, mind you; all rooms and suites are located right in the middle of the Rione Vetera.
