La Dimora di Metello

Designed by Manca Studio in Matera, La Dimora di Metello is an hotel capable of dialoguing with the context and tradition, in a balance between lightness and modernity.

La Dimora di Metello is located in the heart of Sasso Barisano in Matera. The space spreads over 300 sqm on the same level, consisting of a reception hall, a spa and four bedrooms which have access to the terrace; all rooms are “a grotta” type, with high ceilings up to 450 cm; they are characterized by partly tuff and partly plastered perimeter walls.

This kind of intervention is necessary in those cases in which, for different needs, such action is taken on the masonry texture compromising its pattern.

The design intent is aimed at defining a place capable of dialoguing with the context and tradition but at the same time able to surprise by showing a new, rigorous and elegant beauty, leaving the right space to the rediscovery of the elements of tradition.

It is a box that reminds all the layers of the past and that remarks the roots of the town that you can’t lose; filled with a reduced furniture, it acquires a language which is as neutral and linear as possible.

The balance between lightness and modernity is the result of a precise approach to the care of the details which leads to a new language, a new aesthetic that, on tiptoe, is linked inextricably to the tradition.
