Art & Design Loft

A design retreat in the heart of the Sassi

Matera, Italy

Art, design & ancient stone

In the ancient stone city of Matera, our Art & Design Loft is a stylishly curated space where contemporary design meets thousands of years of history. Carved into the Sassi, it is a second home of the same soul as Shala Heart — art, wellness and stillness, framed by breathtaking views over the old town.

The Space

The Loft

One bedroom, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Arched cave rooms, warm wood and soft light create a serene, intimate home in the living rock.

Wellness

Wellness & Spirit

Unwind with our wellness experience: an open-air bath, wellness packages, a fitness room and relaxing back and neck massages — framed by gongs, singing bowls and meditative calm.

The View

Panoramic Terrace

A private terrace and balcony open onto the Sassi and the skyline of the old town, with breathtaking views over the Gravina canyon — the perfect place to greet the Matera sunrise.

Rest

Cave Bedroom & Bath

Sleep beneath an arched ceiling carved into the living rock, with a freestanding bath and warm, tactile materials — intimacy and design in equal measure.
