Borgo San Vito is located in the middle of the Pollino National Park.
One of the most beautiful National Parks in Europe, and the largest in Italy for extension. During your stay you can go hiking, walk in the wild and unspoiled nature, observe animals and birds of prey, but also learn about traditional customs and taste the authentic dishes of a gastronomy with ancient recipes. Established in 1993, the Park preserves and protects, under its emblem, some rare plants, including the Loricato Pine.
From a naturalistic point of view, this area is of considerable importance, given also the forests of holm oaks, maples and beeches that cover it, the different rivers that cross it, including Sinni, and the different species of animals that inhabit it: from the wolf to the wild cat, from the squirrel to the wild boar, without forgetting the roe deer and the majestic deer.
You can stay a few kilometers from Matera, the European Capital of Culture 2019.
City located on a rocky outcrop in Basilicata, Southern Italy. It includes the area of the Sassi, a complex of Cave Houses dug into the mountain. Evacuated in 1952 due to poor living conditions, the Sassi now house museums such as the Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario, with antique furniture and handcrafted tools. One of the nearby rupestrian churches is Santa Lucia alle Malve, with 13th century frescoes.
The Sassi were recognized on 9 December 1993 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Divided by two ancient districts of the city: Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso. In front of them there is the Murgia, protected by the Regional Natural Archaeological Regional Park of the Rock Churches.
