Matera, Sicily, Campania and the south
Southern Italy has a different character from Tuscany: older towns, stronger flavours and a more relaxed pace. The venues below include cave hotels and a masseria in Matera, a baglio in Sicily and villas on the coast near Sorrento and Ravello.
There are 5 venues from €2,000. Prices in the south can be lower than in the best-known northern regions for a comparable property, though this varies by venue.

It can be, but not always. Compare the starting price and what it includes for each venue, since accommodation and catering vary.
Matera is known for its ancient cave dwellings, which have been turned into hotels and venues. It gives a very distinctive setting unlike anywhere else in Italy.
It depends on the venue: Naples for the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, Bari for Matera and Catania for south-east Sicily. The owner can confirm the best option.
