If you’ve ever dreamed of slipping into a postcard-perfect Italian village—but with all the perks of five-star luxury—Borgo Egnazia is where that fantasy comes to life. Designed to reflect Puglia’s historic towns, this sprawling retreat isn’t just a hotel; it’s a destination in itself. Hand-cut stone walls, sun-drenched courtyards, and winding alleyways lined with lanterns and olive trees make it feel like an ancient borgo that’s been here for centuries, yet every detail is meticulously crafted for modern indulgence.
Days here take on a slower rhythm—whether you’re lounging by the Adriatic, indulging in signature treatments at the award-winning Vair Spa, or cycling through the surrounding countryside. For food lovers, the region’s cucina povera is elevated to new heights at the Michelin-starred Due Camini, while rustic trattoria-style dining, sunset aperitivos, and immersive cooking experiences capture the essence of Puglia’s soulful gastronomy. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family getaway, or a long-overdue break with friends, Borgo Egnazia delivers an experience that’s as stylish as it is authentic.
Borgo Egnazia sits on Puglia’s Adriatic coast, surrounded by ancient olive groves and just moments from the charming fishing town of Savelletri. It’s ideally positioned for exploring the region—whether that’s a day trip to the whitewashed streets of Ostuni, the iconic trulli houses of Alberobello, or a scenic drive through the Valle d’Itria’s rolling vineyards. The closest airports are Bari (1 hour by car) and Brindisi (45 minutes by car), with direct flights from the UK and other European hubs. Private transfers can be arranged, or if you prefer to explore at your own pace, hiring a car is a great way to experience Puglia’s hidden gems.

Borgo Egnazia is made up of three distinct areas, each offering a different style of stay. La Corte is the heart of the hotel, offering elegant rooms with contemporary touches, perfect for couples. Il Borgo recreates a traditional Apulian village with charming townhouses and suites that are ideal for families or longer stays. For ultimate privacy, Le Case are standalone villas with private pools, lush gardens, and a dedicated local advisor (a step beyond a butler, offering true insider knowledge of the region).
Across all accommodations, expect calming neutral tones, handcrafted furniture, and thoughtful details that blend contemporary luxury with Puglia’s rich heritage. Think oversized stone bathtubs, crisp linen bedding, and terraces designed for long, lazy afternoons in the sun.
Absolutely. Borgo Egnazia is designed with families in mind, offering a dedicated kids’ club, Trullalleri, where little ones can take part in pasta-making classes, explore the countryside by bike, or visit the on-site Fattoria di Maria to meet the animals. Older children can join the Marinai or Tarantari clubs, where they’ll connect with new friends through cultural activities and outdoor adventures. Plus, with family-friendly pools, babysitting services, and tailored spa experiences for parents and kids, there’s something for every generation to enjoy.
While reservations are not always required, we highly recommend booking your preferred restaurants ahead of time, especially during peak periods or if you’d like early seatings for children. Your luxury travel associate can easily secure your dining preferences and ensure you enjoy the best culinary experiences available.
While Borgo Egnazia feels like its own private village, it’s also ideally located for exploring. The San Domenico Golf Club and Cala Masciola Beach Club are both just a short stroll away, offering championship golf and a private beach experience right on the Adriatic. For a taste of authentic Puglian life, the charming town of Savelletri is a 15-minute walk from the hotel, where you’ll find local seafood restaurants, quaint cafés, and a relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Yes, one of the indoor pools is heated, while the outdoor pools are seasonally heated depending on the time of year. The family pool and adults-only pool are typically at ambient temperature, reflecting the warm Puglian climate. Your luxury travel advisor can advise further.
Some hotels feel like a destination in themselves—and then there’s Passalacqua. Perched above Lake Como in the charming village of Moltrasio, this exquisite 18th-century villa has been meticulously reimagined by the family behind the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. With just 24 suites, it feels more like stepping into an aristocratic lakeside retreat than a hotel—where grand interiors, warm hospitality, and a deep sense of place come together effortlessly.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, this 12th-century castle offers a unique fusion of medieval charm and contemporary Italian design. Renovated by Milanese designer Paola Navone, COMO Castello del Nero stands as a luxurious sanctuary where history meets modern sophistication.

Once a 15th-century monastery, the property seamlessly combines Renaissance elegance with modern refinement. The hotel’s location offers sweeping views of the Tuscan landscape, while its beautifully restored interiors exude charm and sophistication. With Florence just a short drive away, Villa San Michele is the perfect base for those seeking both tranquility and easy access to the art, culture, and cuisine that the city is famous for.
