The Agriturismo Nonna Rosa is situated in one of the most captivating areas of the Murgia region of Matera, within the Park of the Rupestrian Churches, a site recognized for its historical, archaeological, and scenic significance. Just a short walk from the property, breathtaking views unfold, such as those from the Belvedere di Murgia Timone, a prime spot to enjoy the famous Sassi of Matera from above, especially at dawn and dusk when the light accentuates the contrasts between the rocks and the greenery.
The region features a millennia-old interplay between nature and human presence: caves, jazzi (traditional pastoral structures), rainwater drainage systems, and ancient farming practices bear witness to a civilization that has skillfully adapted to the rocky landscape. The trails winding through the park lead to numerous rock-hewn churches adorned with sacred frescoes that narrate the spirituality of a bygone era. Places like Jazzo Gattini and the Environmental Education Center, easily accessible on foot from the agriturismo, provide opportunities for those wishing to delve deeper into the agricultural and pastoral history of the Materan hills.
Approximately 4 km away lie the Sassi districts of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site, an open-air museum where stone tells centuries of peasant life. Among the narrow streets, cave houses, and rock churches, one can also find cultural spaces such as MUSMA, the Ridola Museum, and Palazzo Lanfranchi, which house collections ranging from medieval to contemporary art.
This unique landscape, characterized by ravines, olive groves, and profound silences, invites a slow and contemplative form of tourism, ideal for those seeking authentic experiences, nature excursions, and direct connections with the cultural roots of Southern Italy.
