The Country House dell'Abate is a magnificent property resulting from a careful architectural renovation that has transformed a 14th century Benedictine monastic settlement into an exclusive place to relax. Defiled between valleys and forests with elegance it rises imposingly with a breathtaking view of the green mountains of Basilicata and the Small Lucanian Dolomites. The Country House dell'Abate with its large communal spaces, both indoors and outdoors, is perfect for groups of friends or large families who want to spend moments of relaxation in the company but also enjoy total independence. The large outdoor spaces and the swimming pool, immersed in the large garden, will be the privileged place to admire the beautiful landscape. Proceeding from the outside porch of the house, an avenue of about 20.00 m in stone slightly downhill leads us to the panoramic swimming pool with a cable car cover, which allows us to use it even in the summer rains. The pool, equipped with a Roman staircase with 4 steps, is 6 x 12 m wide and 1.50 m deep. All around are comfortable loungers for relaxing in the sun. In the area there is a sun shower and a wooden gazebo with table and chairs. The pool is sanitised with chlorine. On the terrace on the first floor we have the barbecue with sink, ready to prepare tasty grills to accompany a good Aglianico wine from Basilicata. Its position makes it an ideal destination for travellers who love to travel, by bicycle or car, along the scenic roads that wind along the vast territory around the Camastra river valleys to discover small villages: Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa with the Flight of the Angel, the Tibetan bridge, the ski lift; Campomaggiore with the town of Utopia; Calvello the town of ceramics; authentic, fairytale villages where it is still possible to enjoy genuine, ancient cuisine. If we wish, we can penetrate into the hidden and silent Basilicata where nature is the queen of the territory dotted in the distance by precious villages steeped in art and tradition (Tricarico, Aliano, Tursi, Venosa ) without forgetting the splendid Matera.
