N7. Castelmezzano
Castelmezzano is an impressive village located in the province of Potenza, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
As part of the most beautiful villages in the world club, Castelmezzano was included by Budget Travel magazine among “The best places you’ve never heard of”.
Just like the other villages in this list, this one also keeps its authentic charm with its old taverns, fresh food coming straight from the nearby farms, and the wines. Best wines.
There are several festivals held here throughout the year and if you want to reach the hamlet you will have to go through a tunnel carved into the rock of the Dolomite Mountains in Lucania after going through a picturesque gorge.
