What I particularly liked about this trip is that it takes you through an incredibly varied landscape. From the amazing mountain scenery of the Lucanian’s Dolomites and the lunar landscape of calanchi(badlands) to enchanting hamlets and the crystalline waters of the coast, I’m sure Basilicata will truly surprise you. Here are the highlights of my r...
Venosa is a small town at the foot of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano. It is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, given its significant cultural and historical value. It was the birthplace of the greatest roman poet Horace and is home to stunning churches and interesting sites, such as the Archaeological Park that contains the ...
About an hour’s drive from Matera, Castelmezzano is a beautiful hamlet of colorful, little houses perched on the Lucanian Dolomites. Forget clubbing and high-end boutiques, here it’s all about hiking, playing cards at the bar and taking in the fairytale views from Caizzo Square (especially at night time, when the place turns into an enchanting nati...
About 10 km away from Castelmezzano, Pietrapertosa is the highest village in Basilicata (1,088 mt.) and offers gorgeous views over the surrounding mountains. Pietrapertosa was founded by the Arabs and this is reflected in the amazing network of alleys, passages, and houses built in the rock. You can reach Pietrapertosa either with the Angel Flight ...
Brienza isan elegant medieval town that develops around the imposing remains of the Caracciolo Castle. Fun fact: according to the legend, originally this castle had 365 rooms, one for each day of the week, plus a secret and inaccessible one that contained a treasure! I particularly enjoyed strolling around in search of the old aristocratic palacesa...
Maratea is known as the pearl of the Tyrrhenian sea and it’s really no surprise. Here you’ll find a breathtaking seascape with deep blue waters, wooded hillsides that hide secluded coves and a delightful town center. Maratea’s rocky coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches, but my absolute favorite is Il Mirto Solarium, an enchanting bay with tur...
Rivello is a picturesque village on top of a mountain, with an interesting story. Because of its strategic position, Lombards and Byzantines fought for it for centuries, but since neither of them managed to prevail, they ended up dividing the village into two districts. Today these two centers are identified by the Church of San Nicola and the Chur...
If you are a hopeless romantic like me, then Valsinni is the place for you! The alleyways and tiny streets of this cute hamlet preserve the tragic story of Isabella Morra, a Renaissance poetess that was savagely murdered by her brothers at the age of 25. She was accused of a clandestine affair with the Spanish lord of the close feud of Bollita (the...
I suggest a stop in Tursi to visit the Rabatana, its old Arabic district located on a hill in the highest part of the village. There’s a strange atmosphere here. When I arrived the place seemed deserted except for the sound of a TV from the windows of an old house. However, you will easily spend a good couple of hours here just exploring the many a...
Intrigued by its reputation for being Europe’s most cursed town, I couldn’t but add Colobraro to my itinerary. Stories of chandeliers crashing down, witches, and sudden landslides led people to believe that this cute village with amazing views over the Sinni valley brings iella (bad luck). Can you believe that there are people who even refuse to sa...
