Experience Matera from within
Matera, light and shadow
Silence becomes an experience
Here, time stands still
We are in the heart of Matera’s Sasso Caveoso. In the ancient caves once used as tanneries, Conche Luxury Retreat now stands.
Staying here means immersing yourself in the unique atmosphere of Matera’s Sassi, experiencing a place rich in history, culture, and timeless charm.
Here, tranquility becomes luxury; simplicity becomes an experience.
An intimate, timeless experience that stays with you long after your departure.
At Conche Luxury Retreat, you will discover unique spaces, each with its own distinct character, yet united by a shared essence: stone.
Each of our four stone suites has its own unique character.
The contemporary cave-inspired design celebrates the beauty of tuff stone and traditional building techniques, creating a harmonious balance between history, authenticity, and comfort.
Every space has been thoughtfully designed to bring together contemporary elements, natural materials such as linen, wood, and iron, soft lighting, and details inspired by local tradition.
To ensure your complete comfort, every environment has been carefully designed to promote the highest standards of indoor well-being, supporting both physical and mental wellness, also through the use of Maxwell devices.
In this way, we have transformed an ancient cave dwelling into an exclusive hospitality experience.
In Matera, leatherworking was once a widespread artisanal craft. The Conche district still preserves the memory of these ancient workshops where hides were traditionally processed.
Tanneries once played a vital role in the local economy. Today, the memory of these ancient crafts lives on in the landscapes and place names of the Sassi.
