Borghi Matera

Matera ha una scorza dura e un interno morbido, friabile, come il suo pane. Come lui ha un buon profumo, è il profumo della genuinità ma soprattutto della dignità, quella che non è mai mancata alla gente di Matera.

Montalbano Jonico is a delicate petal of a city set over deep gullies, looking out over the Ionian Sea which gleams in the distance, framed by pine woods and aromatic Mediterranean shrubs. Ancient Norman walls encircle Montalbano, protecting the lively character of a village where culture intertwines with a millennial history, preserving all its traditions and the intense flavors of its cuisine.

The small white houses of Ferrandina are nestled together as if to protect themselves. In their sober white simplicity, with their roofs the color of the earth, you would never imagine they hide an independent soul that refuses to be tamed.
