Castelmezzano, Italy

A postcard-perfect landscape. Castelmezzano, Italy

Embraced by the rugged peaks of the Lucanian Dolomites, the ancient village of Castelmezzano in Italy positively glows with charm. This historic destination is a living testament to its heritage; from being ruled by feudal lords to battles long forgotten, the storied town is a dream for any history buff. The narrow alleys and cobblestone streets pass by old buildings that cling to the mountainside.

It's believed that the Normans settled here around the 11th century AD and constructed a castle, from which the village gets its name. Castelmezzano isn't just a sleepy portrait of the past, it also offers adventure activities like zip lining between mountains at the Volo dell'Angelo (Flight of the Angel). Yet the finest pleasure the small village offers might just be grabbing a cup of coffee and watching the sun rise behind the majestic peaks, joining the streetlamps in illuminating the huddled houses.
