Fodor's Expert Review Palazzo Margherita
Corso Umberto 64, Matera, Basilicate, 75012, Italy Fodor's Choice
On the main square in the town of Francis Ford Coppola's ancestors, a large palazzo has been transformed (by French designer Jacques Grange) into Basilicata's top lodging, complete with hidden gardens, spacious porticoes, frescoed ceilings, and Moroccan-tile floors. The honeymoon suite (No. 8) has its own private dining room. For mere mortals who want to savor the atmosphere without footing the tab for a suite, head to the Cinecittà bar to dine amid black-and-white photos from movies of yesteryear.
