  There are more than one Case Grotte in the Sassi area. This was a good example because it had the tape with a short explanation. I also have seen a larger one with pictures of the family living inside during a guided visit and was truly impressed. Having said that if you're not going to do the guided tour then this is also good.

  Even though it is very touristic and totally made for that purpose, it is still interesting to see how everybody lived here, not so long ago. With the animals inside. With the bed high up to avoid humidity, etc.- try to go early or just before closing time to avoid being with 20 people in this too little place for even 4 (especially if you wish to take photos)- avoid weekends if you can- don't miss the movie included in the ticket / perhaps better to see first

  The Casa Grotta we saw was lived in up until 1981. It is beautifully curated, it feels real. I was very impressed by it and it is very close to the Church in the Rock and the church right out on the point. At 2 euro it is the correct price point even though the house is small.

  Incredible to think that this is how people lived up until the mid 1950s. A good recorded narrative in English explains all that you need to understand what life was like for the people who had to live in these conditions. Well worth the €2 entry fee.

  This is a recreation of what living in one of the caves in the sassi districts would have been like. It was fascinating, and the English leaflet given out was detailed. For 2 euros it is well worth doing. You also get to see a niviera (?) where they kept snow all year round, a typical cart used by the locals, see a cave church and watch a black and white video of the area from the 50s.

  This is actually a very worthwhile experience. It is short and very inexpensive, but allows you inside a very cleaned up cave dwelling in Matera. It is not enough to see these places only from the outside.

  A relatively simple exhibit that helps you realise what life was like in the Sassi caves - and was emotionally stirring.

  You pay @€2.00 at the entrance. We can study lifestyle of people of those days from the explanation tape of 5 or 6 languages. It is good to learn for young kids. We saw many groups of those kids' outing.

  Thinking that until the 1950's 11 people lived here together with their farm animals is really hard to understand. Visiting Vico Solitario really immerges you in the history of Matera.

  I have found Casa Grotto di vico Solitario very educative and at the same time an opportunity to learn more about the people of old Matera. It was a time, not long ago, when artificial caves was used as homes to both man and animals. The museum tries harder to portrait the unique and fascinating setting of an ancient Matera house.
