Hotels in Basilicata, Italy
Basilicata is a region in southern Italy's instep, famous for Matera's ancient cave dwellings carved into limestone cliffs. Summers are hot (85°F/30°C), so you'll want to explore the cool Sassi districts early; mild winters (50°F/10°C) are ideal for hiking Pollino National Park's mountain trails. Head to the Ionian coast for swimming in summer, or visit the 'ghost town' of Craco during spring when wildflowers bloom.
