Miscellaneous Information:

Tempa Bianca is only 10 kilometers from Matera, and is 3 kilometers from the newest main road in Basilicata, SS Bradanica, easily reached from the west by highway A16 Napoli-Bari which joins the Naples bypass and highway A30 Caserta-Salerno, little more than 2 hours from us; and from the east by highway A24 Bologna-Taranto, at the Foggia tollbooth, about 90 minutes from Tempa Bianca. 

Please note:  The SS Bradanica is - in some spots - still under construction and, consequently, may not be completely indicated on road maps and GPS navigations systems.  Therefore, we suggest that you follow these directions: 

From Matera, exit from the town center in one of the following directions:

•   exit Matera South: on SS7 go towards Bari and exit at the Grassano interchange - Zone PAIP; go straight towards Borgo La Martella
•   exit Matera North: on SS7 go towards Potenza and exit at the Grassano interchange - Zone PAIP; go straight towards Borgo La Martella
•   exit Matera Central (Fire Station): proceed straight towards Borgo La Martella
•   At the Borgo La Martella intersection turn right and continue on the main road towards Grassano for approximately 8 kilometers: you will see the entrance to Tempa Bianca on the right.
