Borgo Egnazia, Puglia

Every line of Borgo Egnazia’s village-style architecture, every dish served in the ornate dining room, every photograph of the unrivalled countryside you take from your bedroom window reflects the living, breathing culture of Puglia. And there is, you will conclude, nowhere else quite like it.

So if you want to experience the soul of the region, from a base of refined opulence, you should put Borgo Egnazia on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy. Especially if you appreciate authentic regional food executed in the modern idiom, lazy days spent time-travelling through Neolithic sites and charming hilltop villages, and relaxing on fine beaches beside the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Not to mention the excitement of water sports and a round or two of golf.
