Eco-friendly holidays in Basilicata Italy | Hotels, B&B and Farmhouses

Basilicata, commonly known as Lucania, is a small region in southern Italy, which has the characteristic of being exposed to two seas: the Ionian Sea to the south-east and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the south-west.

It is one of Italy’s least-visited regions and thanks to this, it possesses a charm of yesteryear. The range of things that can be done here goes from the white beaches and turquoise sea of Maratea to the villages carved out of the rocks and visits to parks and castles perched atop silent mountains.

It has only two provinces, Potenza and Matera, and a myriad of small hilltop villages perfectly in tune with the landscape, with hospitable and overwhelming people. A region that will captivate you with its lush and luxuriant nature, its cuisine and local folklore, and its art rich in diverse influences.

The visit must start from its castle, a typical feudal fortress of chivalric novels, a manor among the best known and most representative of southern Italy. Also rich in treasures is the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, with a distinctly Baroque appearance.

Just over 30 minutes from the center of Melfi, Mt. Vulture (1326mt), with its seven hills and two volcanic lakes, represents one of the most suggestive places in Basilicata.

The fertility of the soils also makes Vulture the land of one of the most prized in the national wine scene, Anglicano. A naturalistic area of great interest, outside the most common tourist destinations, a succession of churches that hide masterpieces, sometimes impenetrable forests and enchanting castles, testifying to the link between nature and human events, which seems to have been more intense in this territory than elsewhere.
