Holiday by the sea in Basilicata.
An 8-day package in Maratea with included hikes, guided tours, and transfers.

We operate with small groups to ensure the highest quality travel experience, which is why we have only 4 rooms available each week.
This package is exclusively for solo travelers, couples, or groups of friends, with single, double, or twin room accommodation options.

Basilicata, with its narrow stretch of coastline, is dominated by the town of Maratea. The region features a rugged coastline where the mountains meet the sea without any intermediaries. The Lucanian Apennines come to an abrupt end and plunge over 1500 meters down to the water. The blend of sea and mountains has created breathtaking scenery, with small beaches surrounded by rocks, and caves of various sizes. It’s in these marvelous places that our proposal for a seaside holiday in Basilicata unfolds.

Our program offers the perfect mix of beach relaxation, cultural activities, and nature excursions, both in Maratea and the surrounding areas. We’ll introduce you to the history of the Christ of Maratea, hike to the summit of Mount Coccovello, which stands 1500 meters above sea level, and explore the Pollino National Park. You’ll embark on two coastal hikes along the “Apprezzami l’asino” and “Mediterraneo” trails to learn about the customs and legends of the people of Maratea. Every day, you’ll have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the sea in Maratea, without the need to worry about transfers for activities. We’ll pick you up and drop you off at the hotel.
