Nestled in the historic heart of Matera, Palazzo del Duca occupies a 14th-century noble residence once belonging to the Malvini Malvezzi family. Set in the prestigious “Civita” district of the Sassi, it rises in the most elevated and evocative part of the ancient city, embracing its timeless interplay of light and stone.

Staying at Palazzo del Duca is an experience that blends history, beauty, and relaxation. The rooms and suites, furnished with a balance of original materials and contemporary comfort, include spaces carved into the rock with panoramic views, as well as suites with private pools or in-room wellness areas. This year, new rooms designed in collaboration with Spagnulo & Partners enrich the residence with a refined design touch.

The restaurant offers a culinary journey that bridges tradition and innovation, inspired by Matera’s ancient ties to the sea and the mineral memory preserved in its stone. Led by Chef Mario David, each dish expresses a story of heritage and creativity, enjoyed in evocative cave dining rooms or on terraces overlooking the Sassi.

Well-being is at the heart of the experience, with suites featuring private spa areas and a wellness center coming soon. A unique opportunity to rejuvenate and find harmony in an environment where history and tranquility blend with natural elegance.
