Freetime
Swimming Pool (New!)
Tempa Bianca has recently been equipped with a modern outdoor swimming pool, connected to a comfortable hydromassage.
Paths
Tempa Bianca is entirely surrounded by pine forest and dense thickets. These supply part of the local products offered by the company: pinarolo mushrooms, wild asparagus, wild chicory, blackberries, raspberries, pine nuts, wild game (the firm has hunting licenses available upon request > hunting establishment).
WWF Refuge
Being in close proximity to the "Diga di San Giuliano" WWF refuge makes our agritourism an incontrovertible destination for those who are passionate about hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and bird watching: in fact, here you can see the black kite, the lesser kestrel, the grey heron, the European bee-eater and, with a little luck, the rare Egyptian vulture.
Mountain Bike
Tempa Bianca is the right starting point for riding on a mountain bike!

What to see
Church of Saint Frances at Miglionico
It is next to a small convent with a Romanesque bell tower, inside of which is kept the spectacular polyptych of Cima di Conegliano from 1499. The splendidly ornate polyptych, is made up of 18 panels enclosed in a baroque frame depicting Gabriel, the Annunciation, Saints Bernard, Catherine, Clara, Gennaro, Peter, Paul and Anthony, the Madonna with Child and the five Francescan martyrs.

Sassi di Matera
UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, a spectacular example of rocky dwellings, appreciated by American cinematographers (The Passion and Nativity, to name only a few). The architecture originating from centuries of rock excavation offers an itinerary through endless lanes, neighborhoods and houses. Planned artistic events throughout the year and important cultural shows encourage visits from cultural tourists from all over the world.
Other places and monuments
Cathedral of Irsina: displayed here since 1454 the statue of Andrea Mantegna depicts Saint Eufemia, patron saint of the Irsinesi.
