L'Orto di Lucania is located on the plains outside Montescaglioso, approx. 10 km from Matera and 30 km from the coastline and the beaches at Metaponto. The building stands along the Bradano river in 250 hectares of ground, where corn, maize, tomatoes, aubergines, artichokes, olives and fruit are grown.
L'Orto di Lucania is known for its traditional production of preserved food in jars and pickled vegetables in extra virgin oil which can be bought on site. Approx. 100 m from the accommodation is a small restaurant where you book a table and taste the local cooking and farm produce. If you feel like picking the produce yourself this is freely available all over the farm. The colouring of the landscape is warm and vivid thanks to the many sunny days, and the springs that keep the area fertile and productive.
