ospitalita — Cirigliano · Basilicata
In the inland hills of Lucania, at Cirigliano in the province of Matera, a family-run masseria (fortified farmhouse) keeps the slow time of authentic Basilicata. An agriturismo that isn't explained: it's lived.
From the double room, the window frames the Lucanian countryside like a timeless painting. The view opens onto the slopes of Cirigliano, where the landscape is not a backdrop but the very reason for the stay: the same countryside that the masseria brings to the table every day, in the flavours and ingredients of local tradition.
The balcony looks out over the hills, but the heart of the masseria beats in the garden below: the family room opens directly onto it, and pets are welcome too. It is the mark of a hospitality that imposes no distance, where the line between guest and home grows as thin as the grass underfoot.
The morning begins gently: breakfast is included for all rooms, and the rhythm of the masseria adapts to that of those who have chosen to stay. The family-run character shows in the details — in the cared-for setting, in the quiet that is kept — turning every night into a stop worth the journey.
This page tells of the rooms, the excursions among the villages of Lucania, and the traditional cooking that awaits every guest at Masseria dei Rossi.
