Pianata is a few km from the town of Maratea, perched on the side of Mount St. Blaise. Maratea, is really a cluster of towns sprinkled along a winding strip of coast, and is for the (cognoscenti); a hideaway for those in-the-know, and for the monied and the pestered. Names such as Frank Sinatra and Princess Diana crop up in stories of Maratea's past - people who found refuge in this place
It might just be Italy's biggest secret, as it is so overshadowed Amalfi to the north. The medieval villages of Trecchina and Rivello, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Certosa di San Lorenzo are all a short drive away.
The Maratea coast is a tiny, protrusion of the nearly land-locked region of Basilicata, making a break for the sea.
The area of Lucano also offers the opportunity to visit unspoilt natural parks such as the Pollino and the Apennine Lucano.
The Bar, restaurant and market which are owned by third parties remain closed until further notice. |
