Borgo Egnazia

Borgo Egnazia offers three different ways of inhabiting the place, designed to meet different needs, rhythms and styles of stay.

La Corte gathers the rooms and suites closest to the heart of the arrival experience. It is the area that most closely recalls the language of Apulian masserie, with more intimate spaces and a more immediate sense of place, ideal for those who wish to experience the Borgo from its central spaces.

–– 64 rooms divided into:
La Corte Bella (33–37 sqm)
La Corte Splendida (42–46 sqm)
La Corte Magnifica (60–75 sqm)
La Corte Meravigliosa (68 sqm)
Suite La Egnazia (125 sqm)
Suite La Emma (194 sqm)

Il Borgo comprises rooms and casette inspired by the villages of Apulian tradition. They are ideal for living the true experience of the Borgo, among alleyways, squares and views that evoke the atmosphere of a small town, while maintaining the comfort of contemporary hospitality.

–– 92 rooms and traditional casette
Borgo Bella (42 sqm)
Borgo Splendida (42 sqm)
Borgo Magnifica (55 sqm)
Casetta Bella (60 sqm)
Casetta Splendida (90 sqm)
Casetta Magnifica (90 sqm)

Le Case are independent villas immersed in greenery, designed for those seeking a more private and domestic dimension. With generous spaces, gardens and pools, they represent the most residential solution within the Borgo, ideal for family stays or for those seeking greater autonomy.

Eating well is an integral part of the philosophy of Borgo Egnazia. Across all its restaurants, the cuisine begins with a careful selection of raw ingredients, the celebration of local flavours and respect for tradition, through essential preparations that leave room for the quality of the ingredients themselves.

A significant part of the offer takes shape from the property’s regenerative gardens, where ancient and local varieties are grown, many of them now at risk of disappearing, recovered through the Seed House in order to protect agricultural biodiversity. These vegetables, marked by remarkable organoleptic and nutritional richness, return value and complexity to both soil and territory. Bringing them to the table means giving continuity to a process that begins in the earth and is completed in the kitchen, linking agriculture, food culture and the identity of the place.

Alongside this, a central role is entrusted to local producers and suppliers, selected for the quality of their ingredients and for their authentic connection to the territory. It is through this network of relationships that the Borgo’s cuisine maintains a constant dialogue with Puglia, ensuring seasonal, traceable ingredients deeply rooted in their context.

Each restaurant interprets this vision in its own language, while maintaining a shared thread of seasonality, responsibility and attention to time.

Due Camini

Since 2016, under the guidance of Chef Domingo Schingaro, the restaurant has developed a long-term culinary path rooted in agricultural Puglia and in the relationship between cuisine, land and community. A journey recognised with a Michelin star in 2019, and reconfirmed year after year, without ever resting on that achievement.

Over the years, this research has led to the increasing centrality of the vegetal world, which today represents the restaurant’s primary language. Not an ideological choice, but the result of daily observation of ingredients, natural cycles and their transformations.

The work of Due Camini is closely intertwined with the Orti Project and the Seed House: every dish is born from listening to nature and embracing its variability, in a contemporary cuisine that turns away from spectacle to focus on depth.

“I always say this to my brigade: you cannot innovate without understanding tradition.
To create something new, you need solid foundations — nothing can be invented from nothing.”
Chef Domingo Schingaro

La Frasca

Handmade orecchiette, parmigiana as it used to be made, and the scent of panzerotti fresh from the fryer: La Frasca is the Borgo’s Apulian trattoria, the place to rediscover traditional cooking and immerse oneself in the flavours that have accompanied the region over time. A simple table, built on family recipes, that tells the story of Puglia without mediation.

Cala Masciola

Sea, salt air, freshly caught fish. Cala Masciola, Borgo Egnazia’s beach club, is where cuisine meets the rhythm of summer: spaghetti with clams with your gaze turned towards the Adriatic, an aperitivo at sunset, and evenings animated by music and DJ sets on the warmest nights.

For Borgo guests, Cala Masciola is also a space dedicated to movement and the sea, where water sports such as surfing, canoeing and wingfoiling offer a different way of experiencing the coast each time.

Il Cannucciato

Il Cannucciato is the Borgo’s grill restaurant, a space where the cuisine revolves around fire and sharing. At the centre of the table, the grill becomes a point of gathering: meat and vegetables are grilled and served in an informal atmosphere, with a style of cooking that celebrates the pleasure of being together.

La Cantina

Born from more than twelve years of research and selection, La Cantina is the space dedicated to wine and the stories it carries. It houses a rare collection of Italian and international labels, with particular attention to great wines from Puglia and their historic vintages. It is not a wine bar nor a simple enoteca, but a place of preservation and exploration, where wine is chosen, studied and narrated before it is even served.

A Pizzerì

The cheerful crackle of the fire, the unmistakable scent of warm bread just out of the oven, and the crisp texture of dough that meets the sweetness of fresh tomato. A Pizzerì, the Borgo’s pizzeria, reinterprets the traditional wood-fired pizza with a contemporary touch. Soft and light, it is perfect under Puglia’s starry summer skies, or in a more intimate and welcoming setting during the cooler months, thanks to dynamic service and counter seating that allows guests to observe the pizzaioli at work.

Da Frisella

At Borgo Egnazia, children do not simply have a menu designed for their tastes, but an entire restaurant. This corner filled with colours and flavours loved by younger guests is a magical place, where every detail is designed with children in mind, from the chairs to the tables to the menu itself.

The spaces dedicated to bars and pools at Borgo Egnazia are conceived as places of pause, encounter and continuity with the rhythm of the day. Different environments, spread throughout the Borgo, accompany guests in informal moments without interrupting the dialogue with the surrounding natural and architectural context.

BARS

Bar del Portico
A place devoted to the art of mixed drinks, reinterpreting local ingredients through new combinations inspired by the great classics. Experience, passion for the world of spirits and a deep knowledge of the territory make it possible to create cocktails that are both traditional and innovative, built on aromas and flavours that are unmistakably Apulian.

Il Capanno and L’Angoletto
“Il Capanno” is the bar overlooking the two enchanting pools of La Corte, where guests can enjoy delicious snacks and juices at lunch and refreshing fruit cocktails at sunset. For younger guests and families, there is nothing better than “L’Angoletto”, the bar by the Borgo pool, where afternoon snacks come in the form of tasty bites and fresh seasonal fruit.

POOLS

Set within local stone and Mediterranean gardens, the four outdoor pools are charming places of rest and calm, with two pools dedicated to families. At sunset, their turquoise surfaces become a suggestive setting for enjoying cocktails scented with Puglia. Borgo Egnazia also features an indoor heated pool with dedicated changing rooms and a wet area including an outdoor sauna, sanarium, steam bath and ice fountain.

Wellness at Borgo Egnazia is understood as a state that is built over time, through a balance of body, movement, nourishment and relationship with the environment. It is not an isolated experience, but the result of a conscious way of inhabiting the place and its rhythms.

In this sense, wellness is not offered simply through treatments, but as a process of regeneration that arises from contact with nature, from the alternation between activity and rest, from listening to the body and from the quality of time devoted to oneself.

Vair Spa

The name Vair, Borgo Egnazia’s spa, evokes the idea of “true” in Apulian dialect, reflecting an approach that is essential and rooted in the territory. Its treatments are inspired by traditional Apulian practices and make use of gestures and materials linked to local culture, reinterpreted in a contemporary key.

The spaces of Vair are conceived as places of care and recovery, where water, warmth and touch accompany individual paths without rigid schemes or standardised protocols. In continuity with the Borgo’s ongoing evolution, Vair too is part of a process in progress, increasingly destined to engage with a vision of wellbeing linked to regeneration.

Sport and movement

The outdoor spaces of Borgo Egnazia allow guests to practise sport in direct relationship with the landscape. The Borgo offers seven sports courts: three tennis courts, one football pitch and two padel courts, designed to offer opportunities for movement to guests with different needs and levels of preparation.

Technogym Outdoor is also available: the first open-air gym ever created by Technogym, developed in collaboration with Borgo Egnazia in 2021. A pioneering initiative that makes it possible to exercise outdoors in safe conditions, adapting to different ages and levels of training.

The sporting offer extends to the sea as well. Cala Masciola’s fully equipped private beach hosts a range of water sports, including wakesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sailing, snorkelling and SUP, offeringfurther opportunities for movement in continuity with the natural environment.

SAN DOMENICO GOLF

San Domenico Golf is an 18-hole course set between the Apulian countryside and the Adriatic Sea, in an area between the Itria Valley and the marina of Savelletri. The course sits naturally within the landscape, following the contours of the land and engaging with the surrounding elements.

Designed by architect Andy Haggar for European Golf Design (London), the course follows a links-style layout, oriented to the prevailing winds, with strategically positioned bunkers and a route that crosses gentle slopes, ancient olive groves and glimpses of the ancient city of Egnathia. From every hole, the sea remains in view — a constant element of the playing experience.

Over time, San Domenico Golf has become a venue for national and international tournaments, consolidating its role within the Italian golfing landscape. In 2019 it received GEO certification, recognising the responsible management of the course in relation to the environment, natural resources and the surrounding landscape.

Children and teenagers arriving at the Borgo find spaces and activities designed for every age, where play, discovery and connection become a natural part of everyday life. An environment where friendships are formed, experiences are shared and memories are made to last.

Younger children enter the world of the Trullaleri, the kids’ club dedicated to children, where days are shaped by outdoor play and moments of discovery linked to nature and local traditions. Here they learn to know the territory through cookery classes, cycling through the Apulian countryside, or workshops with the papier-mâché masters of Putignano.

Older children find in the Marinai Club a dynamic space designed for play, movement and adventure. Activities alternate between sport, creative experiences and pool games, while teenagers join the Tarantari, an international community of young people sharing days filled with sport, outdoor activities, team challenges and moments of relaxation.

Alongside the kids’ clubs, Borgo Egnazia offers spaces and services designed for family life: outdoor play areas immersed in greenery, pools with areas dedicated to children, and Da Frisella, the restaurant entirely designed for children, where play meets simple, thoughtful food.

Wellbeing also becomes an occasion for sharing. Vair offers experiences designed for parents and children, created to carve out moments of relaxation, discovery and time together, in continuity with the idea of welcome that runs through the entire Borgo.

Conceived by Camilla Vender Melpignano, Bottega Egnazia is born from continuous research among Apulian and international artisans, producers and creatives. Clothing in hand-sewn natural fabrics, objects for the home, ceramics, crafted pieces and gastronomic excellences: each item is the result of an encounter and a collaboration, often long-lasting, that brings ancient knowledge into dialogue with contemporary sensibilities. No object is identical to another; many are unique pieces, created to endure over time.

The objects in the Bottega do not follow the seasons of fashion nor the logic of serial production. They speak of the territory they come from, the hands that made them and the value of the gesture, offering an idea of craftsmanship rooted in quality and restraint.

Alongside craft and design, Bottega also gathers a selection of gastronomic products and creations dedicated to wellbeing, born in dialogue with the spa and with local producers. A coherent whole, reflecting the same attention to time, material and relationships that runs through the wider project of Borgo Egnazia.

Bottega Egnazia lives within the Borgo, but also online, as an open space that allows the story to continue beyond the stay. An intimate place where objects speak of time, work and ties.
