Can we book an evening, sunset or candlelit experience?

Romantic options extend beyond daytime sightseeing. You can book a hot air balloon flight over Matera at first light with breakfast afterwards, or a dining experience in a local's home in Montescaglioso with a cooking demonstration — an intimate, candlelit-style evening.

Which city tours are best for romantic visitors in Basilicata?

Matera is the heart of it. The guided Sassi walk with a cave house and church gives you the essential setting, while the private three-hour Sassi excursion adds rock churches at a gentler pace. For something more unusual, the private walking tour with a multilingual guide or the balloon flight create memorable moments for two.

About Basilicata

Basilicata's stone towns and honey-coloured lanes make it one of southern Italy's most quietly romantic regions, and nowhere is that more true than in Matera, where the Sassi glow at dusk and every alley feels made for two. Couples can drift through cave dwellings and rock churches on the Sassi di Matera: Guided Walking Tour with Cave House and Church, or slow the pace with a multilingual guide on the Private Walking Tour of Matera: Uncover History with a Multilingual Guide. Beyond the walking tours, the region rewards those who linger — a candlelit dinner in a local's home, a dawn balloon

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Several Matera experiences are private, including the multilingual walking tour of the city and a three-hour excursion through the Sassi's rock churches and cave dwellings. Private formats let couples set their own pace and ask questions freely, which suits a romantic trip far better than a large group.
