And what value! Rare red aubergines are a treat in store at this organic family farm. The owners grow produce using time-honoured methods and serve farm-fresh meals by the fire, or out among gnarled olive trees. Apartments have full kitchens, terrace doors and open fires.

This area of Basilicata, on the Puglian border, is an undiscovered delight with heaps to see and do". "The Times" included L'Orto di Lucania among the Five of the top Italian farm stays: "In the little-visited deep south in the “arch” of the boot of Italy, L’Orto (which means kitchen garden) grows artichokes, aubergines, tomatoes and peppers. Work up an appetite for dinner in the restaurant (or cook your own from farm produce) by cycling or walking to picturesque villages and archaeological sites".
