8 best hotels with a kitchen in Matera

Hotels with a kitchen in Matera are ideal for travellers who want the freedom to eat when and how they like—without giving up the atmosphere of this UNESCO-listed cave city. Matera is shaped by the Sassi di Matera—made up of Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano—with their rock-cut dwellings and rupestrian heritage. Staying near the Sassi puts you within walking reach of the alleyways, churches in the rock, and the iconic “cave town” views.

A hotel genuinely suited to “Hotels with a kitchen” goes beyond simply offering a fridge: look for an equipped kitchen or kitchenette (hob/oven, cooking utensils, and enough storage), so you can handle breakfasts, simple dinners, and longer stays comfortably. This is a great fit for families, multi-generational trips, and guests with dietary needs—plus anyone planning day trips who prefers home-style meals between sightseeing.

For the most atmospheric base, choose accommodation in or near the Sassi (Sasso Caveoso/Sasso Barisano) for maximum proximity to landmarks and evening ambience. For a slightly calmer stay with easy access to sightseeing, the wider historic centre and routes toward the Belvedere Murgia Timone viewpoint (across the ravine) can be particularly convenient.

Examples from our bookable inventory include Torretta ai Sassi, Civico 28, and Il Mulino A Vento, all well placed for travellers who want the independence of cooking while soaking up Matera’s dramatic setting.
