The restaurants in which we ate were also caves. Again, it was beautiful. However, living there without the basic amenities was primitive and uncomfortable. Upon our arrival I could not find the hotel [it's just there] and I asked, in my poor Italian where was the hotel and said it was by the church. The response was "There are churches everywhere; which church?". Being in the town of Matera was a pleasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
