http://www.ostellionline.org/ostello.php?idostello=348 is the link for any bargain holidayers out there, or snowbirds looking to spend the winter in warmer climes. Did I mention theres a golf course nearby?
The train down through Basilicata was a trip and a half. It's a harsh part of Italy. Lacking Tuscany's billowing curves, Basilicata is starched pleats and folds - but with fantastic river gorges and medieval towns balanced on seemingly inaccessible crags. I watched golden eagles rising thermals as we crossed valleys of fruit trees and wheat. Basilicata defies you to love it.
On the other hand avoid Potenza. It's a town known for its earthquakes, which may be why nobody really cares about the quality of architecture. The women wear a particularly acrid deoderant and the men all have the same noses.
