Matera Sassi Storica Casa Grotta - di vico Solitario: Typically Furnished Cave Dwelling To see what a real peasant dwelling was like before the “Sassi” of Matera were abandoned, visit a typical cave dwelling with furniture and tools of the time in the “Sasso Caveoso”. The description of the Cave Dwelling in English language is available inside. Open all year round.
This is a visit of a typical 19th century house of Matera. The house is amazingly well furnished, so that one can learn a huge amount of interesting facts on how the daily life was managed at that time. The immersive effect is very strong, and you realize that each act of ordinary life was difficult in those times. This type of installation is so much better than the usual “tradition museums” in which you see the old clothes and habits !

Photographers' paradise! Extraordinary park, both for the views across to the city and for the walks. You can hike back by descending into the gorge, but don't plan to do this unless you are well-equipped with good hiking shoes, water, snacks, and protection from the hot sun. There is not much signage to guide you. We were driven to the park, expecting to hike back. We decided against it and called for a cab ride back. (Bring the number of a few cab companies with you.) It cost 25 Euros for the four of us and was well worth it.
