Air Maestri Rooms & Café

Ai Maestri in Matera – this is no typical hotel, but rather a charming design oasis amidst the centuries-old cave architecture of the Sassi. Only four individually designed rooms, some carved into the tuff stone, others traditionally built – each one unique with a warm atmosphere and loving details. In the morning, a café tempts guests with a lovingly prepared breakfast – sweet or savoury, but always pleasantly authentic. And on top of that, there is the warm hospitality of hosts such as Nicola and Valeria, who are happy to make their guests’ stay even more personal with tips and advice. It is a play of light and stone with restored walls, re-exposed textures and antique handcrafted objects that become design elements. It’s modern yet deeply rooted in local tradition. It’s in a wonderfully quiet spot, right in the historic centre and within walking distance of museums and viewpoints – a perfect haven of peace for explorers. If you’re looking for a combination of cave flair, individual design and a warm atmosphere in Matera, Ai Maestri is hard to beat.
