Aura Glamping with its two geodesic domes rises like a mirage on the edge of the Montepiano Forest in Accettura, in the province of Matera. A true paradise at more than a thousand meters, where you can spend beautiful moments among the mountains of the Gallipoli Cognato and Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Regional Park, in total relaxation and contemplation of the splendid surrounding landscape. An address to mark immediately in your agenda to have an experience in nature with your four-legged friend.
In the Montepiano Forest in Accettura
The two domes are located on the edge of the forest and overlook the valley where you can see the small village of Accettura that in the evening among a thousand small lights appears like a suggestive nativity scene. The place is perfect to enjoy endless walks or a break in total freedom in uncontaminated nature, regenerating body and soul.
Right at the edge of a forest that has a strong sacred value, where the tree destined to represent May is chosen among the tallest Turkey oaks, while in the Gallipoli forest the Cima is chosen. They are the protagonists of the rite of the accettura, also called “marriage among the trees”, an ancient pagan tradition that later merged into the liturgical celebration of San Giuliano. The accettura begins on the first Sunday after Easter, with the choice of the tree in the Montepiano forest and continues the following Sunday with that of the holly then grafted into a symbolic marital union with May in the following days. Accettura is therefore the symbolic town of “tree weddings”, ancestral and propitiatory rites that cannot help but think of when you choose to live the experience of Aura Glamping surrounded by the atmosphere of the Cassiopea Suite.
Living a holiday inside it, with a view of the green and uncontaminated panorama, is an exclusive experience in nature, which leaves you breathless at every moment of the day: from the night illuminated by the starry sky to the slow awakening and breakfast with a view of the entire valley.
And it is beautiful to live it even when “the wind howls and the storm whistles” as happened to us on a cold March evening with an outside temperature close to zero. In fact, the bubble allows you to feel protected without any limits, even when there is snow outside. Lulled by the hiss of strong gusts we fell asleep in the warmth of the wood stove as if in a cozy cocoon.
In the morning, when you pull back the curtain, the sun replaces the darkness through the transparent glass and the landscape takes on new shape and colour, revealing the secrets of nature in this not-yet-too-beaten-by corner of Basilicata.
Who is it for? Those who want to enjoy a slow holiday, without frenzy and even a little wild and especially romantic couples like us, even those who travel with furry third parties, and who want to experience with them among nature the secrets of an area of the Basilicata region not yet fully known.
