Borgo Egnazia

Borgo is the Italian word for village. Borgo Egnazia, a stroll from the Adriatic Sea on the fertile plains of Puglia, is a village of dreams hewn in the beautiful white Tufo stone of the region. But although it looks as if time, sun, footsteps and sea breezes have weathered its facades, Borgo Egnazia is a 21st century creation that sparks the imagination with its characterful buttresses and the higgledy-piggledy layout of the casette around the central Piazza Don Cataldo.
You arrive at La Corte (the court), which sits like a manor house or Moorish Castle to the side of the village. It’s a castle of troubadours and sanctuary though, not of battlements. Here are rooms where you can take your sojourn with us, descending the sweeping stairway to enjoy the bars, restaurants, terraces, spa and pools as well as the many secreted, gently lit bowers in a labyrinth of corridors that make it seem as if you had entered the Temple of Aphrodite!
Alternatively you can choose to stay in one of the Borgo’s casette, à deux or as a family of four, which nestle around two piazzas down bougainvillea- scented alleyways that you would swear had been there since the days of carts and horses. Larger families might prefer to take one of our villas that fringe the village with their own pools and shaded gardens, lush with oleander and rosemary.
Borgo Egnazia is hard to describe. It’s a place like nowhere else, with so much thought having gone into every detail. You have to come and experience it for yourself.
