The park on one side, the sea on the other
The Mercure Hotel is situated in the heart of Pollino National Park, a protected area of incredible beauty that spans across Calabria and Basilicata. This region features a majestic landscape characterized by forests, gorges, mountain peaks, and unspoiled nature, making it perfect for those who enjoy hiking, trekking, birdwatching, or simply unwinding in a green environment. The trails winding through the park offer opportunities to explore ancient villages, breathtaking views, and a unique biodiversity. Maratea and the Tyrrhenian coast are about forty minutes away by car, and the rafting on the Lao river ten.
The Pollino
Forests, gorges, mountain peaks and unspoiled nature, spanning Calabria and Basilicata. The trails winding through the park lead to ancient villages, breathtaking views and a biodiversity found nowhere else. Booking measures the park boundary at 0 m from the door.
Maratea
About forty minutes away, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea: beaches nestled among the rocks, crystal-clear water and a charming historic centre. Here stands the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, with its stunning view of the gulf.
Castelluccio
The village begins 900 m from the hotel, and the park begins at the hotel. The Lauria Sud motorway exit is 13 km away, the rafting on the Lao ten minutes by car — and Fortunato will make the booking with the club for you.
