Every experience can begin here, in Masseria
The Masseria is a place to slow down, but also as an ideal starting point for exploring one of the most surprising regions of Southern Italy. Within a range of about 60 km lies a kaleidoscope of diverse experiences: ancient landscapes, small villages frozen in time, ravines, nature trails, artisan crafts, archaeology, culinary traditions, and places that still hold a genuine sense of wonder. Here, every day can take a different turn, simply by following the curiosity of the moment.
The farmhouse’s location makes it easy to enjoy all of this, without long distances or rigid schedules. You can set out in the morning for a hike, a cultural tour, or a culinary adventure, and return in the afternoon to find peace, space, and simplicity. It’s a more human and natural way to travel: having plenty to discover, without ever feeling far from home.
Within less than an hour, you can find yourself wandering through the ancient stone neighborhoods of Matera, crossing the spectacular canyon bridge of Gravina in Puglia, exploring the hilltop village of Miglionico and its Renaissance treasures, or reaching the Ionian coast near Metaponto, where long sandy beaches meet the remains of one of Magna Graecia’s most important settlements. Those seeking adventure can head toward Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano for the famous Volo dell’Angelo, suspended high above the Lucanian Dolomites, while lovers of archaeology can spend a day among the temples, artifacts and ancient stories preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Metaponto.
What makes this area special is its diversity. In a single stay, you can move from cave churches to seaside landscapes, from Renaissance masterpieces to local wineries, from hiking trails through ravines and badlands to long lunches in family-run trattorias. The territory never asks visitors to choose between culture, nature, food or adventure; instead, it invites them to experience how naturally these worlds coexist in Southern Italy.
