I am finally getting organized on next year's travel. I would like to spend 10 days or so in southern Italy in April, after Easter.
This year we went to Sicily at that time and loved in. Next year I want to spend a week either in Puglia or on the Mediterranean coast south of Salerno. Then into the heart of Basilicata to visit @Valerie and Bryan for a few days. And a day in Matera.
We have never been south of the Amalfi Coast (except for Sicily), so don't know the area at all. I hear a lot about Puglia from @jonathan and other travel friends. I don't know much about the other coast in southern Italy.
So, looking for advice. It would be a week in one place, in a vacation rental, wanting some sunshine and milder weather than at home. We are not foodies or drinkers, but like to explore historic sites, love the coast, do some walking, sit in cafes.
We would probably fly in and out of Rome and rent a car.
