Le Monacelle, built in 1594, was once the Conservatory of Santa Maria della Pietà. This Convent, restructured in 2000 became a receptive and congressional structure of great charm. It is situated inside the complex of the Sasso Barisano characterized by the canyon ploughed by the stream “Torrente Gravina”, which is visible whilst overlooking the terraces of the hostel. It is impossible to list all the sites and the monuments present in the Sassi, considered by Unesco as part of the listed World Heritage Sites, nevertheless you must not miss the opportunity to visit the Cloister of Sant'Eustachio, the Cathedral and the Church of San Giuseppe. You must also take advantage of the numerous guided tours to visit the Parks of the Murgia and the Chiese Rupestri. In summer it is possible to participate in the " Monacelle Cultura", an event hosting many different cultural activities along which Music, Theater and Cinema.

| The dormitory doors are not locked but they have 24 hr staff and surveillanc. I feel comfortable with that, but if you feel unsafe about your possessions make arrangements. Honestly it will be hard to find a better place to stay, I loved it | ||

| I am 65 years of age and have been hostelling for many years. I stayed at 29 hostels while on my 3 month trip in Europe and this hostel stands out amongst them all as one stunningly beautiful hostel to stay at. Quiet, clean, great location and wonderfully efficient staff. I will be back to lovely Matera again soon but I do not think I will get my hair cut there again....funny experience it was asking for just a little off the hair and the hairdresser thought I meant I only wanted a little hair left on my head but fortunately hair does grow quickly. | ||
