Borgo Egnazia – Puglia, Italy

Borgo Egnazia is a unique place in the world: a visionary interpretation of a typical village, surrounded by millennial olive groves in the beautiful landscape of Puglia in Southern Italy. A true masterpiece of architecture and design, where every detail has been meticulously crafted to ensure the highest standards of luxury.

Born in 2010 from the visionary concept of the Melpignano family, Borgo Egnazia is a tribute to the traditional architecture and the great beauty of Puglia: a miniature world of homemade breakfasts prepared by Puglian “Massaie,” both traditional and gourmet food experiences, as well as the poetic Vair spa deeply connected to the territory, two beautiful private beaches, and the scenic San Domenico Golf with views that stretch to the blue sea.

Open year-round, Borgo Egnazia is a “Nowhere Else Place” that embodies the marvelous simplicity and authenticity of the land in a contemporary way.

PUGLIA, ITALY

Puglia can surely now take its place in the first rank of Italy’s famous regions. Clearly, everything the Italophile craves is there in abundance: ancient towns heavy with the tangible past; extravagant churches dreamt up by Europe’s finest architects; the footprints of an endless procession of conquerors and cultures, stamped in stone, gold and marble; seas of olives; olive-green seas; and food the equal of any in Italy. Travellers bored or worn down by the crowds of Campania and Tuscany can find still release in the baroque splendour of Lecce, ‘Florence of the South’, or one of many lesser (but no less beautiful) Pugliese towns.But it’s perhaps outside of its cities that Puglia shines brightest. From the ancient Forest of Umbra in the north to the fruitful Valle d’Itria and sun-baked Salento, Puglia’s countryside has always been its foundation – the source of its food, its wealth and its culture.
