Terrazza Calaviere
Rooftop Bar
Matera, Italy

This rooftop bar is a
must-see.
Food and drinks are simple,
but it's the view that will knock your socks off.
If you are going to see
The Sassi or visit
Matera, visit this place. It will give you a memory you will
never forget.
People sitting at the cliff side bar
These cliff side seats are the coveted ones.
When we arrived for an
early happy hour, there were no seats left.
My suggestion is to go for
a late lunch and then move over to the bar seats when they become available.
Watch the sunset over
The Sassi and let the magic begin.
The view from the bar
So here I am in a sweater and a vest and
everyone else pretty much is in short sleeves.
The wind coming out of
The Sassi and down the
streets of Matera can be bold, and I guess I was expecting a storm!
No one else had a care in the world...
Here you see the various tables in this cozy bar, the cliff side seats and the
fabulous view down
the gorge.
Romance is in the air
Take your best date or your best people and
come here for the experience and the view.
We have been to numerous
rooftop bars in our
travels, and each one offers something worthwhile. But none of them in our
experience (except for maybe
Cafe del Mar
in Cartagena, Colombia) offers this kind of view.
Take advantage of it.
Why not?
The mysterious Sassi
We have already told you
the story of
The Sassi and how there has been a continuous population living here since the Old Stone
Age.
Then the Italian government came in,
relocated the people, and decades later cleaned out the area and updated it.
Now it has running water, electricity and is
a ragingly popular
tourist site.
So why not be a tourist and sit here at the
bar and
dream?
Some call The Sassi "Bethlemen 2" because the
buildings look very similar to places in Jerusalem centuries ago.
That's why lots of period-piece movies have
been filmed here.
Our bill for the 2 of us
We made a quick happy hour stop here and
ordered 2 glasses of wine at $5Euros each.
The "coberto" was $3Euros each, bringing our
bill to $16Euros.
The coberto serves as the tip in Italy, so
the $16Euros was the total bill.
Would we recommend Terrazza Cavaliere?
Yes!
Just do it.

Retire
Early Lifestyle appeals to a different
kind of person – the person who prizes their
independence, values their time, and who doesn’t
want to mindlessly follow the crowd.
