The new 007 movie filmed in the city of Sassi. All James Bond fans that are also hotel lovers and have watched “No Time to Die” cannot stop thinking about the epic cave suite which appears in the beginning of the movie when the starring couple Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux are at the picturesque city Matera of South Italy. Matera, a breathtakingly beautiful city in the region of Basilicata, which is also a Unesco World Heritage site, is a complex of cave dwellings. Situated on a rocky outcrop, this ancient city is known for having 1,500 cave dwellings inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic period. Hotel Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita, placed in the oldest part of the city, features 18 rooms (some of them exceeding 160m²) and an ancient church, the “Cripta della Civita”, now used as a common area, all renovated to retain their original features.
