Irene's spotless apartment is located an easy walk from shops and restaurants. Her family was very kind to help us arrange a fantastic dinner at a local restaurant (butcher who cooks meat in wood-fired over at night) and provided all the necessities for the apartment (bottles water, dishsoap, snacks, etc). She even gave us a pack of cherries from her tree. Spent the day at the Gravina (gorge). Spectacular scenery and many interesting and rare birds. Also close to Matera for sightseeing in the area without the crowds. Would highly recommend to birders or others touring Puglia and Basilicata.
