Matera, in southern Italy's Basilicata region, is famous for its sassi, a city of cave-houses and churches dug out of soft tufa that's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A fascinating thing to do is to stay in the sassi in a cave hotel. Sassi hotels are in caves that have been renovated and modernized and have private baths, internet, air conditioning, and heating.
