In Borgo San Basilio we find the Penelope Apartment, a splendid bright little villa just a few steps from the sea, completely immersed in the tranquillity of the nature of this tourist village on the Ionian coast of Lucania.

Fully equipped with everything necessary to allow its guests to enjoy a completely relaxing and comfortable stay. The Penelope Apartment is located on the first floor of one of the ‘towers’ that make up the suburb and, thanks to the large veranda overlooking the swimming pool of Sobborgo Aranci, it also allows you to dine outdoors.

A splendid villa that allows you to choose whether to take a dip in the pool or in the sea, in fact it is only 800 metres from the latter and can therefore also be reached on foot or by bicycle, parking your car in the flat\'s reserved car park. Thanks to Borgo San Basilio\'s services, all guests can also benefit from the free shuttle bus to the beaches, entertainment for young and old, and the tennis courts and five-a-side football pitches in the village.

In short ... a truly beautiful villa that also offers guests many ways to enjoy an unforgettable experience, thanks also to the entertainment that the Borgo San Basilio organisation organises for guests every year.

The flat consists of:

a living room with a very large kitchenette

a well-equipped kitchen (4-burner cooker, oven, freezer, fridge, plates and cutlery) and also equipped with all basic cooking utensils, such as coffee, sugar, salt and oil

a double bedroom

two rooms with very comfortable single beds with the possibility of converting them into a double bed

a comfortable and spacious bathroom with shower and toilet

a spacious veranda with armchairs and a dining table for relaxing, right after a dip in the pool, and eating outside during summer days

The Borgo San Basilio is composed of 9 suburbs and each suburb has its own independent services, i.e. a central swimming pool, equipped with sun umbrellas and sunbeds and a lifeguard, communal greenery, reserved parking, a shuttle bus to the lidos, a mini-club card and private security.

What remains imprinted on this Borgo, more than anything else, is the large 2-hectare park with pathways for strolling where the large Roman Amphitheatre stands with around 2,500 seats in which to watch plays, musicals and concerts.

Following the Roman Amphitheatre is the Periptero, a particular conformation of ancient temples surrounded by columns, for daily entertainment for young and old, also used for various tournaments and outdoor games. So that the little guests can enjoy themselves safe from harm inside the park.

Outside the Borgo, there is also a sports centre with five-a-side football pitches and tennis courts, as well as ‘La Rosa dei Venti’, a shopping centre with shops, restaurants, pizzerias, café-bar, ice-cream parlour and market.

In short, this splendid villa offers everything necessary for a truly relaxing stay and is ideal for the family, and in particular for the well-being of the little ones.

In fact, the coastline, consisting entirely of 8 kilometres of beaches with fine sand and clear but shallow waters, has been awarded not only the prestigious ‘Blue Flag’ but also the ‘Green Flag’. It is thus one of the 25 best national beaches recommended by the Children\'s Medical Association.

Not far from the Borgo di San Basilio lies the Heraclea plain where Greek colonists settled in past centuries, whose ancient findings can be admired at the museums of Metaponto and Policoro .

Moreover, just over half an hour\'s drive away you can visit the famous Sassi of Matera European Capital of Culture 2019 and about 40 minutes away you can admire the Lucanian Dolomites of the Pollino Park. So there is the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, as well as many places of culture and tradition.

Finally, there are many hilltop villages to visit, each with something to discover, both culturally and gastronomically.
