Matera is a town and a province in the region of Basilicata, sometimes referred to as Lucania, in the south of Italy. Apart from an economy which has traditionally been based on agriculture, in the late 1990s the major economic base of Matera, and of surrounding cities, is the production of upholstery furniture. The town lays over a small canyon, which has been dug in the course of years by a small water stream, the Gravina.

Want to point out a hotel in Basilicata with 4 stars that merits being mentioned in our tourist portal. Leave the website URL of the hotel and a valid email and a human editor will visit it and evaluate its conformity to our editorial policy. If there are no problems the site will probably be inserted within a few weeks. Thank you for your collaboration.
