When No Time to Die, the latest film of the iconic secret agent James Bond, first showed the spectacular Matera skyline in its opening scenes, the world of cinema and travelers began to discover a new destination of luxury and mystery. The Italian city, with its thousand-year-old Sassi carved into the rock and its almost timeless atmosphere, has become an inescapable location for the saga. But few know that not only can you admire the places where 007 moved with elegance and skill, but you can also stay in a unique place, right in the heart of this adventure: the Sant'Angelo Cave Hotel. In this article we invite you to discover how to have a Bond experience in Matera and sleep in a hotel that is an architectural and cultural gem, perfect for travelers looking for luxury, privacy and a touch of mystery.
The choice of Matera for the opening scenes of No Time to Die was not accidental. The city, with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed ancient historic center, offered the perfect backdrop to reflect the sophisticated yet rough and authentic atmosphere that characterizes the James Bond films. The cobblestone staircases, rock-cut caves and narrow streets filled with history created a visually stunning environment that captured the attention of millions of viewers around the world.
In these scenes Matera was not just a simple setting, but a real character, adding depth, mystery and beauty to the narrative. The ancient architecture and the contrast between modern and ancient reinforced the idea that Bond is immersed in a world where time seems to have stood still, but where danger and intrigue are ever present.

The Italian town, famous for its Sassi-sets of cave dwellings dating back thousands of years-was adapted for filming without losing its original essence.
