Hotels in Basilicata, Italy

Basilicata is the most mountainous region in the south of Italy. The region is divided into two provinces: Potenza and Matera.

Basilicata covers an extensive part of the southern Apennines, between Ofanto in the north and the Monte Pollino massif in the south.

Matera is the capital of the Matera province in the Basilicata region of Italy. It boasts the sassi, well-preserved rock-cut settlements that are a World Heritage site and one of Southern Italy's many important attractions. Matera is a fairly big city. One of its quarters is the old city. Just outside the old city are the Sassi - cave houses dug into the limestone rocks. The sassi are located on both sides of a valley.

Metaponto is a small town of about 1000 people in the province of Matera, Basilicata, Italy. The town is best known for the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Metapontum. A 1 km stretch of beach with white powdery sand is a further tourist attraction.
