Wander through Mottola's ancient 'Sette Camini' cave dwellings where locals once lived in homes carved from limestone. Taste authentic Pugliese cuisine at family-run trattorias in the historic centre, then join locals for evening passeggiata around Piazza XX Settembre.
The best area to stay in Mottola is the historic centre, known as the "Terra delle Gravine," for its unique cave dwellings and convenient access to local life.
