The hilltop town of Bernalda, only 20 minutes from the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea and surrounded by wild countryside, is the perfect spot to experience an Italy untouched by mass tourism. The cave dwellings of Matera are 40 minutes away. The drive from Bari or Brindisi is one hour 40 minutes; Naples is three hours away.
