GREEN SOUL
Immersed in the heart of the Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vetera Matera is much more than an exclusive 5-star albergo diffuso: it is an authentically sustainable experience. Part of the Bellevue Group, which passionately pursues eco-responsible practices, Vetera shares this ecological vision, integrating it into the hospitality and experiences offered.
In harmony with the 12 Relais & Châteaux commitments, every day we choose practices that protect the cultural and environmental heritage that hosts us: we collaborate with local artisans and producers, preserve the identity of the spaces, favor natural materials and a conscious use of resources.
Conscious elegance among the Sassi
-
Low-impact recovery and restoration
The 23 rooms and common areas are created by recovering ancient spaces with low-impact techniques, enhancing original materials and favoring local supplies, in line with the group's circular approach.
-
Short supply chain and zero waste cuisine
The gastronomic proposal is based on organic, seasonal and "km zero" ingredients, thanks to collaborations with selected local producers. Vetera minimizes food waste with responsible choices and zero-waste solutions.
-
Authentic well-being, conscious respect
At Vetera, well-being stems from respect: for the body, for time, for the place.
Our courtesy line — Hand & Body Wash, Hand & Body Lotion, Soft Shampoo and Hair Conditioner — is formulated with organic and nourishing ingredients, such as Aloe Vera and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, to gently care for skin and hair. The exclusive Vetera Matera fragrance combines citrus notes, almond, and light woods, accompanying the experience with a calm and harmonious sensory feel.
A daily gesture that doesn't overload, but restores balance. -
Local people, the soul of hospitality
Vetera Matera entrusts its hospitality to a team rooted in the territory. The choice to enhance local skills not only strengthens the bond with the community, but also contributes to a model of responsible tourism, capable of generating widespread and lasting well-being.
