Giò and Lory's farm in Matera

I provide a simple and welcoming structure where you can stop while admiring the beautiful views of the hills, gullies and the Basento river. You will certainly find good food and starry nights. Here you can stop with your tents . The farm is located in Grottole, 20 minutes from Matera and reachable by Freccia rossa, bus, and car but keen walkers will just find it on their path. We await our guests with a welcome gift, a cheese snack. The pitches are large, surrounded by trees for shade, have a breathtaking view and among the 50 hectares of land, all fenced off, you can take long walks and reach ancient fountains. You can admire our horses, donkeys, sheep, turkeys, chickens, cows, and rabbits and enjoy the silence and the sounds of nature.

For guests there will be a bathroom, a hot shower (for a fee of €3), and an external sink to be able to wash their clothes or dishes. On request, you will have a beauty and massage service, washing machine service, and mountain bike rental. We even have a winter rest area adjacent to the stable (a fenced outdoor area with two washbasins available) with the possibility of reliving the atmosphere of rest in the stable. The experience is suitable for couples, families with children, groups of friends, but also solo travellers. Your four-legged friends are welcome.

Located on the top of the Motta hill, slightly detached from the town, the castle of Grottole is said to have been built at the behest of the Lombard prince Sichinolfo of Salerno in 851. On the Altojanni plateau, about 12 kilometers away from the village, it is possible to visit the Sanctuary of Sant'Antonio Abate, dating back to the end of the fourteenth century, and the ruins of the Torre di Altoianni, a real medieval city that disappeared in the fifteenth century.
