A small town in southern Tunisia, Matmata is best known for its underground cave or troglodyte structures, which house some of the local Berber population. Undoubtedly Matmata's most famous building is the Hotel Sidi Driss, which served as the Lars Homestead (and therefore the home of Luke Skywalker and his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru Lars) in the Star Wars movies. The small museum behind the hotel made Wired.com's Top 10 list of the world's best geek vacation destinations.

せっかくマトマタに来たので、洞窟風のお部屋に泊まってみたいと選びました。想像していたより規模の大きいホテルで、何棟か建物が連なっています。食事はビュッフェスタイル。あまり個性のあるものはなくて残念。部屋はさすがに雰囲気がありました。お湯はちゃんと出たもののすぐ温くなってしまいました。土地柄を考えればそれで十分ありがたいですが・・・。とはいえ、いちどはこういうところに滞在するのもいいとは思います。 more
