Masseria Fontana Di Vite in Matera, open June–September.
Masseria Fontana Di Vite rises from the Basilicata plateau as a fortified farmstead, its limestone buildings commanding views across terraced vineyards and ancient olive groves toward Matera's limestone ravine.
The property occupies 19 rooms across restored masseria structures, preserving centuries of agricultural heritage while accommodating up to 220 wedding guests across multiple courtyards and interior halls.
Stone archways, weathered facades, and the surrounding agricultural landscape create an austere, geological backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
Stunning hotel in a beautiful location. As soon as we pulled up on the driveway, everything was lovely. The service was excellent, the room was huge, both the breakfast (try the omelette and croissant) and dinner (we had the pork and the chicken) were delicious. Great location close to Matera. The pool was lovely with a bar service. My only gripe would be that the AC is not controllable in the rooms, and we were too hot at night.
