Palazzo Gattini

Matera


The Gattini is Matera's plushest hotel, located in the former palatial home of the city's most noble family. And if the nobility of yesteryear could see the palace's 20 luxuriously refurbished rooms today, with their smooth stone walls, quality furnishings and intricate detailing, they'd surely feel right at home. Prices drop during the week.

Beautiful stone walls combine with expensive fittings and expansive common areas, including a spa, restaurant, terrace and coffee shop.
