Borgo Egnazia

One of the most beautiful and best hotels we have ever stayed in and throughout Europe we only stay at the highest rated 5 star hotels and this is our favorite. The beach club on the Adriatic with a restaurant was absolutely perfect and beautiful and the staff were wonderful. The only complaint we had was upon arrival at the personal checkin after a long and tiresome journey we were not offered any drinks including water and had to request a drink. Otherwise the experience was perfect

Well beyond a 5 star luxury property, a special designation of 100 stars should be made for this beautiful place. Staying at the Borgo Egnazia is like staying in an Italian village before everything in this world turned modern. Of course, the rooms, the restaurants, the spa, and the common spaces feature every modern convenience a traveler could desire. But walking around the façade and regular streets of the village takes you back in time hundreds of years. The most outstanding attribute of this luxury property is the staff. They are kind and caring, available at any time, just a phone call or a text away. The delightful snacks which are undoubtedly homemade are replenished in your room every day, the housekeeping services and small touches are both thoughtful and meticulous at the same time. Staying at this hotel is like living in an Italian romance movie. Time at the pool is like spending time in a dream. It is not often that you can stay at a property in which there is not one single small fault, or flaw, but this is one of those rare properties in the world where there is simply not even the smallest detail out of place. If you have the opportunity to be in this part of Italy this is an absolute not to be missed property. I don’t know what their officially ranking is, but I would guess this is somewhere in the top 5 in the world. One last amazing thing …. If you are there on a weekend be certain to attend the “festa!”

I stayed at Borgo Egnazia in late August with my four sons, two adults and two little ones aged 5 and 4. A proper guys trip, and the hotel handled that mix of ages better than anywhere we have stayed. The village itself is stunning, white stone, bougainvillea, candles everywhere at night. We stayed in one of the casette and had everything we needed. Days were spent between the pools and Cala Masciola, the hotel's beach club, which became the boys' favourite spot. Simple, excellent food right by the sea. The younger boys loved the kids club and my older sons and I got tennis lessons in with a great coach. The concierge team arranged a private boat along the coast towards Polignano and an evening in Monopoli with a guide, both highlights of the trip. Special mention to the house manager service, quick and personal, everything from AC fixes to late checkout sorted over WhatsApp. Food is top level across the property and the staff genuinely seem to enjoy their work, which you feel everywhere. Not a cheap hotel by any measure, but for a multi generation family trip it is hard to think of a better place in Puglia. We left already talking about coming back at full strength with the whole family.

Borgo Egnazia has the extraordinary charm of a place that feels as though it has stood for centuries, while somehow offering every modern comfort and convenience. But as beautiful as the hotel itself is, the true magic of Borgo Egnazia is the people who bring it to life. The staff’s world-class attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to the craft of hospitality are unparalleled. Every need seemed to be anticipated and every request accommodated with effortless coordination. We traveled a long way to celebrate our honeymoon, and the people of Borgo Egnazia have made the experience a memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I can write a book praising this extraordinary hotel. We stayed for 5 nights. The place is immaculate on all levels. A man made village that will fascinate you. The service topnotch. The food open up all your senses (especially in Borgo’s Saturday festival). Hotel is for all ages! The adult pools very clean and the service is 5 stars superior especially Michael! He was so attentive! He follows your eyes and understands directly if needed without calling him. Beach is beautiful. Service is as good as the pool! The concierge. Can’t write enough. His name was Luca . He helped us choose how to spend our 5 days vacation worry free. He helped with everything and directly answered all my questions. Massage in spa was great and a plus. The shop in hotel sells nice different unique pieces. Breakfast was unique. The choices are never ending done with highest quality of natural products. At the end of the stay the breakfast team gave us a gift bag with a note signed by them. Borgo is in itself a unique unbeatable experience. I will miss it and will definitely go back
