On the eastern fringes of Basilicata , just over 20 kilometres from the Ionian Sea coast, is a valley, overlooked by the charming hill-town of Montescaglioso. In this secluded fertile valley is an agricultural enterprise, that is also an agriturismo, offering six charming houses for rent. Very rural, populated by a people that are still very friendly and proud of their land and traditions, this is a holiday base for enjoying the simpler things of life. The agriturismo is immaculately laid out with lush well-tended lawns and paths linking the various buildings. They make their own olive oil, passata sauce, bottled peppers and artichokes and a variety of local specialities. An on-site restaurant is available for pre-booked lunches and dinners, as is a shared swimming pool.

The nearest town is Montescaglioso 8 kilometres away up the valley and, apart from possessing the essential shops, banks and chemists, it is noted for its lovely Benedictine abbey of San Michele. For more bustle, the provincial capital of Matera is 20 kilometres away. Each house accommodates two sets of guests, hence semi-detached, and have their own entrance pergolato for al fresco relaxation.

Entrance via double doors into a sitting/dining room with open fireplace. One spacious double bedded room. Shower room, WC etc. Small separate kitchen with fridge, 4 gas ring hob, electric oven and sink. Air-conditioning is available (at extra cost).
