Borgobianco Resort & Spa

My husband and I had a very enjoyable three nights and appreciated the friendly and attentive service from the waiting staff in particular. We had a half board option which was extremely good value and the food was a combination of good, extremely good and occasionally pretty below average. The wine list was excellent. For a hotel that has been rated 5 stars the facilities are incredibly disappointing. We paid extra for a suite, which was basic, well laid out and comfortable, but little things like a loose loo seat suggested that the attention to detail is poor. Good fridge and kettle/Expresso machine. 2 small bottles of water each day. Excellent wifi everywhere, that was free. The bicycles need attention and the gears and brakes were really poor. The pool( which initially was shut but they kindly opened it at my request,) was slimy and slightly green. And freezing, but that’s normal for Italy. A heated outdoor pool would be such an attraction in autumn and spring. The spa was nice. The hotel itself is attractive and well laid out, and with some investment in the facilities and management to make it more luxurious and worth of the 5 Stars it could be really special. as it is, I wouldn’t go back, d still enjoyed the stay, but it was the waiting and bar staff that made it

We stayed as a family in the August holidays. Super service and the staff went out of their way to make sure that we had a sea view , even if it meant a free room upgrade. The pool is gorgeous and you will need to rotate to stay in the sun all day or the shade as you prefer. There are lots of lovely umbrellas and pods you can shelter under. The breakfast is exceptional,especially the Nutella cake. The room is set to a very high standard. i had read a few dodgy reviews- none are true- this is a high end Sofitel hotel in the M series. The food is expensive- high end boutique style stuff.. It was not for our family. We ate the breakfast that was included and very ample. We had one dinner at the restaurant- very gastro very pricey and very hungry afterwards The traditional dinner may be worth it. it is a buffet with ample amounts of food and local artisan crafts people come up an entertain, dance with you and it is kind of fun. There were bikes (average quality) to loan for free and you can explore the local area. You need a car to reach the seaside towns (20 min drive)BUT there isa re shuttle that is very obliging. It holds about 9 people so you need to book it in advance. The hotel has deal with a local beach club and you get a discount-still pricey This is a great place to chill, not child unfriendly but my rather boisterous teens were kept on a narrow lead by us as i felt they were liable to disturb the beauty. I would still bring them again if we rebooked. This hotel was classy, lovely and has lovely friendly helpful staff

The staff were extremely helpful without being intrusive, the hotel was in a lovely setting in a rural area with sea views, outside space was immaculate and the pool was large enough for a decent swim. Rooms were clean and well serviced - terrace was great with wonderful view of the coast and even a Trulli. Ideal location for touring - Matera, Alberobello, Martina Franc etc as well as local Polignano and Monopoli. Food including breakfast was very good, evening meals were fantastic and imaginative with local produce. I would return without any hesitation. Donato runs a friendly but tight ship as Maitre, his staff are helpful and attentive. Really relaxing with Spa facilities and comfortable outdoor spaces to sit and ponder , pool was large and well looked after with bar and food area at hand.

We really enjoyed our week in Borgobianco. The hotel is great, the room is perfectly equipped, clean and well decorated. The bed is well suited for a restoring night. The pool is very calm and well equipped with longchairs, vestiaire, toilette and showers. The restaurant is proposing a very good menu. The breakfast is proposing local and fresh food. The local team is very friendly and their goal is to answer all your wish. A big thanks to all the people of the hotel for all they did for us to make this stay a wonderful one.

I have been in this wonderfull Resort for four days, from 3th September till 7th September. Immediately I appreciated the sense of relax, the silence but also the professionality of all the personnel. I had the possibility to enjoy the research of excellence in all the particulars, from the cure of the gardens to the choice of colours and fornitures. The real top is the restaurant with the great Chef Giannuzzi, the Maitre Donato and the staff (Vito Niko etc). Four superb experiences not to be forgotten. I appreciated the choice of high quality raw materials prepared in the best way (without those useless sauces that often are used and cover the real taste of food) simple and tasty, high digestible and with attention to the people (my wife) with food intolerance. Thanks a lot ad see you in my next travel in Puglia. Puglia, one italian very confortable region.
