By Grace Stephen, VeryChic correspondent
Nestled inside Matera, a city far from the thronging crowds in Southern Italy, is the Masseria Fortificata San Francesco ****. The original structure of this handsome luxury hotel dates back to the 1600s, and the central part of this establishment still retains the sense of its historic purpose, with its watchtower-shaped design looking out over the valley of Bradano. This stunning building represents both a look back at history and forward to the refinements and comforts of our modern times.

  • - By airport transfer service: available from the airport to the hotel on request and with confirmation from the hotel, for a surcharge (2 to 8 people).

    - By car: rental companies are readily available at the airport but it is often cheaper to book online and in advance. Leave the airport and continue on the SP54 for 8 km. Then merge onto the SS96 toward Altamura/ Matera and continue for 7.5 km. Following signs for Matera/ Bari, turn onto the SS99 and continue for 15 km. Merge onto the SS7 for 5 km and then take the exit toward Matera Sud.
