Borgo Egnazia

Hotel Guide

Facilities

• Swimming: Three large outdoor pools (one heated, one family-friendly) and a heated indoor pool at the spa.

• San Domenico Golf Club: An 18-hole championship course that runs between ancient olive trees and the sea.

• Beach Clubs: Two private options—Cala Masciola (rocky with water sports) and La Fonte (sandy and family-friendly), both reached by a short shuttle.

• Kids & Teens: The Trullalleri Kids Club and Tarantari Teens Club are among the best in Europe, offering everything from ceramics classes to football.

Rooms & Suites

The accommodation is divided into three distinct experiences, all unified by a palette of cream, white, and oatmeal, accented with birdcages, bundles of dried herbs, and stone-carved details.

• La Corte: Located in the main building, these rooms are sophisticated and serene, ideal for couples. Many offer private balconies with views over the olive groves or the Adriatic.

• Il Borgo: The heart of the "village," featuring townhouses (Casette) arranged around a central piazza. These are perfect for families, offering multi-level living and private patios.

• Le Ville: For ultimate seclusion, 28 classic villas come with private pools, lush gardens, and a dedicated Massaia (housewife) to prepare traditional Puglian breakfasts in your kitchen.

Wellness & Spa

• Vair Spa: A 2,000 sqm sanctuary focusing on "the science of happiness." It features a Roman bath circuit, local salt treatments, and a resident shaman-like team of "life-changers."

Wine & Dine

Dining at Borgo Egnazia is a deep dive into the "Blue Zone" diet of Puglia, ranging from Michelin-starred artistry to barefoot beachfront grilling.

• Due Camini: The flagship Michelin-starred restaurant where Chef Domingo Schingaro reimagines Mediterranean flavours in a dramatic, candlelit hall.

• La Frasca: A traditional Puglian trattoria in the Borgo piazza, serving handmade orecchiette and wood-fired specialities.

• Cala Masciola: Set on the hotel's rocky beach, this is the spot for the "catch of the day," weighed market-style and grilled to order.

• Mia Cucina: An open-kitchen concept where the Massaie share the secrets of local recipes.

• Bar del Portico: A sophisticated lounge for a botanical-infused Negroni before dinner.

During the peak summer season (June–August), expect rates to start from €1,200 per night for a double room, with multi-bedroom villas ranging from €3,500 to €7,000+ per night.
