The residence sits on the edge of Matera, about a 30-minute walk or 10-minute drive from the historic center, where the Sassi caves and sights like Castello Tramontano (3.0 km) and the Cathedral (3.3 km) are. The immediate area is quiet and open, with Parco della Murgia right at the door and the small Parco dei Quattro Evangelisti about a 5-minute walk away. It is a peaceful, more rural setting than the old town, with the hotel's own pool and restaurant on site. For the city's main sights, you will need a car or a short drive, making this a calm base just outside the bustle.

Residence Masseria Santa Lucia is a calm starting point, but the main sights sit a few kilometres away. Palombaro lungo is 2.9 km, Castello Tramontano and Castle Park are 3.0 km, and the Cathedral Basilica is 3.3 km from the property.
