Matera is kind of off on its own and it’s actually part of a different region called Basicalata. Most people we met there (including us) were not using it as a base, but rather just staying there. If you wanted to explore other parts of Basicalata, you could I guess base yourself in Matera. I’m no expert, perhaps others who are more familiar with these areas will way in.
Planning on 2 weeks here. Thinking about renting a place near Lecce and then Matera. Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Since I’m now planning for only 3-4 days in Matera how much time should we allot in Lecce using it as our base? We don’t need our days totally filled with sightseeing. We like to spend the mornings sightseeing and then a nice lunch wherever we happen to be. We plan on renting a house with a pool so there’s the afternoon. Dinner is usually eaten in from purchases made at farmers market. Perhaps a local stroll afterwards!
