Description

Borgo Egnazia is a journey into local history, a celebration of traditional Puglian architecture, set in the Brindisi province in a central location from which to explore the surrounding region. Here, in the city where Virgil died, the remains of second-century columns mark the traces of ancient Roman roads, while the Mesagne, Oria and Ceglie Messàpica castles offer spectacular examples of historic fortifications. Explore the labyrinth-like caverns of Castellana, or marvel at the intricate baroque architecture of Lecce, whose magnificent stone façades are rich with artistic and historic value. This five-star Apulia resort is also just a short drive from the Itria Valley, home to well-known towns such as Ostuni, Cisternino and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Alberobello. Conceived and developed over a span of ten years, the property´s construction was guided by the vision of creative artist Pino Brescia, who have created a modern Eden built entirely of indigenous local resources. Enveloped entirely in shades of white, each of the 63 guest rooms and suites at Borgo Egnazia is a vision of pristine elegance. Locally quarried limestone walls harmonise with the decor’s cream and taupe hues, creating a stunning contrast to views of the sapphire sea and sky. Although the furnishings of this Puglia accommodation uphold traditional Apulian aesthetics, modern luxury influences all, from sumptuous bedding to serene spa-style bathrooms. In the village area, one- and two-bedroom suites offer an elevated level of exclusivity, complete with private Arab gardens, balconies and rooftop terraces. Guests will also find an exhilarating world of endless activity. Take a refreshing dip in one of the four crystalline swimming pools. Engage in a game of tennis on the onsite courts. Learn the art of preparing regional cuisine at the cooking school, or be served at one of the many restaurants or lounges. The surrounding coast and countryside offer additional opportunities for leisure, with horseback riding, kart racing, sailing and wind surfing.
