Borgo Egnazia

Our rating: Deluxe

Rooms

The 185 rooms of Borgo Egnazia are located in two different area of the hotel — the Borgo, constructed to resemble a traditional little village, and Il Cortile, the main building.

Close to Il Cortile, 28 luxurious private villas cater to those looking for an indulgent experience and space to sleep upward of eight guests in some cases.

The decor in all rooms follows a tasteful Pugliese style of ivory and cream tones. Sumptuous features abound, including soft, plush sofa, piles of pillows on beds, and elegant draped fabrics. All rooms are spacious and outfitted with all the modern amenities one would expect from a five star property.

Location

Borgo Egnazia is set between the towns of Bari and Brindisi just slightly inland from the sea. The property is surrounded by its own golf course and pretty Pugliese countryside. Views over the sea in front of the property remind guests that beaches are just a short shuttle ride away. Those looking to explore beyond the grounds can visit the former fishing village of Savelletri, less than a ten minute drive away. Here you will find a selection of local restaurants.

Food and drink

With six restaurants located throughout the property, including one that caters specifically to kids, Borgo Egnazia manages to cater to the tastes and preference of each guest. Options range from the fine dining restaurant, Due Camini, to the relaxed La Frasca, with sunny alfresco seating. One of the highlights is Pescharia da Vinto where guests choose their own seafood, have it weighed market-style and cooked fresh for a delicious and memorable meal. There are also three bars at the property — one chic indoor lounge and two pool-side bars.

Families

Borgo Egnazia is an ideal option for families. Two different kids’ clubs run throughout the day — one for younger children and one catering to teens. There’s a kids' pool and even a restaurant catering specifically to children with pint-sized tables and chairs. There are even little cars to help children navigate the large grounds of the property.

Facilities and activities

For guests looking to stay active, activities include, water sports, tennis, complimentary bike rentals, a large gym, and even the hotel’s own golf course. A spacious spa offers a full menu of treatments and cooking schools can be arranged in one of the restaurants. Four pools located around the grounds mean there are always plenty of sunloungers available.
