The region loved by Francis Ford Coppola is waiting to be discovered and, especially for nature lovers, absolutely to be loved.

A paradise almost untouched by human beings.

Visiting this region by exploring the historic cities, the countryside and the immense expanses of wheat along the road gives the feeling of going back in time, where nature prevailed over human ingenuity.

In Basilicata we will spend incredible cooking days with Mariangela Russo, an exceptional woman and a chef that will share with us her passion for the food of her country and memory.

Mariangela says: “I get excited by the vision of a sunset, a day of bright tramontana light, an avenue of cypresses, the soft and pungent smell of citrus fruits, the people who are moved, the extraordinary beauty of food and the miracle of nature.

I love everything that has a story, a past and tells something.

I love cooking, wine, being together and sharing happy, peaceful and happy moments”.

The Dimore and the Casalini of Borgo San Gaetano can be accessed from this charming cobbled road paved with chianche – limestone slabs – and characterized by the secular wisteria that adorns the entrance and welcomes guests. When weather conditions permit, the Vico hosts cheerful tables full of tradition.

The Dimore and the Casalini of Borgo San Gaetano, once work houses annexed to the manor house, recount the everyday life of the ancient families of Bernalda through the recovery of every detail that once belonged to history, maintaining the great attention given to the comfort of our guests, taking advantage of the natural benefits of the suggestive context of the territory.

The symbol of the hospitality of Borgo San Gaetano is its living room.

A common area of the Dimore and the Casalini, here you can spend some time in the company of others, pampered by the flavors and scents of the tradition of the Lucania territory.

In this environment, which has maintained an authentic and welcoming appearance, local products are available to guests all day long.
