Chin Up! "Al nido del falco"

I really enjoyed my time at chin-up. The hosts Paola and Tonino are just special: super kind, friendly, extremely helpful and wildly talented in the kitchen! We were on a tour riding our bicycles from Basilicata to Puglia and we spent one night recharging at Chin-up, surrounded by nature and soaking into an outdoor jacuzzi. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place, up in the mountains nearby a ski park.. The food is incredibly good! They get very busy during the daytime because of the people visiting to ski, hike, etc, but if you stay in one of the cabins, they will try their very best to accommodate you for your meals. We had a lovely time during our stay here. Both owners were kind and welcoming. We stayed in the cabin with the tub and had a fantastic time! You can book them via WhatsApp.

we (a couple of tourists) ended up here by chance, when planning a hike in the National Park of the Appenino Lucano from Potenza on Easter Monday, and looking for an eating place half way after the exercise. WhatsApp and DeepL helped us arrange a reservation (Italian was not in our luggage) while learning that there would be a single multi course lunch menu that day. What an event! Like other enthusiastic reviewers we were overwhelmed by the welcoming atmosphere, and especially the energy of Paola who cooked a splendid sequence of delicious dishes for a full house of families! The next day, having forgotten a pair of reading glasses, we were nicely received by that same Paola, even though the restaurant was actually closed, and she looked relaxed despite all the efforts of the previous day and even offered a coffee! Whow!- there must be a secret source of energy in that wonderful location! Thanks for all, and wishing you lots of visitors to enjoy everything this place has to offer!

A true gem of a restaurant located comfortably amidst the gorgeous mountains of the Basilicata region. The food is fantastic; fresh and delicious, with homemade touch and flare. The atmosphere is super cozy and warm, making you feel welcomed as soon as you enter. The raviolis were by far some of the best I have ever had, as was the Caciocavallo (cheese) starter. The small cabins on the property look very peaceful and well maintained. I would very much like to return for an overnight stay at some point, and would not hesitate to bring a group here for a weekend event. It would be a great location to reserve for a small wedding gathering, or other event of thirty people or so. Highly recommended.

Paola and Tonino have welcomed us very warmly. We were spoiled with homemade pasta, homemade cake and brandy. It was a pleasure! I would have liked to speak better Italian, but with hands and feet and Google Translate it worked. :) Thanks again!
