Senise is one of the main villages in the heart of the largest protected area in Italy, the Pollino National Park, in the Sinni river valley.
In its territory the Monte Cotugno dam, the largest artificial reservoir in Europe, often chosen by the National Federation of Lucani Canottieri for its most important events.
The ancient village, of Norman origins, develops at the foot of the medieval castle and is an inextricable labyrinth of narrow streets, old houses, and alleys decorated with precious and crisp purple necklaces left to dry in the sun on the balconies: the "Cruschi" PGI peppers, delicacy Lucana now known also beyond the regional borders and protagonist of the renowned food and wine festival "U Strittul ru Zafaran".
The landscape that surrounds Senise is crossed by vast expanses of olive groves and natural sites rich in vegetation, while the "base" of the country culminates in the "Gardens", plots of land of extraordinary impact that descend towards the Serrapotamo stream.
