PB hotel design editorial

Conceived not as a conversion but as an entirely invented village, Borgo Egnazia was designed from the ground up by Pugliese architect Pino Brescia to feel as though it had always existed on this stretch of Itrian Valley coastline near Savelletri. Completed in 2010, the property takes its structural grammar directly from the masserie and medieval hill towns of southern Puglia — local pietra leccese limestone used throughout, the massing broken into interconnected low-rise blocks whose rooflines bristle with decorative chimneys and crenellations visible in the aerial views. Bougainvillea cascades over the pale stone parapets, while ancient olive groves press in from the perimeter, softening what might otherwise feel like a theme-park exercise in vernacular architecture into something genuinely atmospheric. The 63 rooms, 29 villas, and 92 masseria suites spread across the site with enough density to sustain the village fiction. Interiors by Ermanno Turco work entirely within a single tonal register — raw linen, undyed cotton, pale travertine floors, walls finished in rough plaster the colour of unbleached wool. Ceilings draped in gathered fabric soften each room into a kind of pavilion-within-a-room, while recessed niches carved directly into the stone walls hold ceramic vessels and dried botanicals in place of art. The restaurant runs beneath a sequence of barrel-vaulted arcades in the same limestone, tables dressed in white against the ancient-feeling stonework, wrought-iron candelabras and wicker baskets reinforcing the agrarian mood without tipping into rusticity. The pool terrace, edged in travertine, extends the palette outward toward the olive trees.

About

Borgo is the Italian word for village. Borgo Egnazia, a stroll from the Adriatic Sea on the fertile plains of Puglia, is a village of dreams hewn in the beautiful white Tufo stone of the region. If it had existed in ancient times it would have been the eighth wonder of the world! But although it looks as if time, sun, footsteps and sea breezes have weathered its facades, Borgo Egnazia is a 21st century creation that sparks the imagination with its characterful buttresses and the higgledy-piggledy layout of the casette around the central Piazza. You arrive at La Corte (the court), which sits like a manor house or Moorish Castle to the side of the village. It's a castle of troubadours and sanctuary though, not of battlements. Here are rooms where you can take your sojourn with us, descending the sweeping stairway to enjoy the bars, restaurants, terraces, spa and pools as well as the many secreted, gently lit bowers in a labyrinth of corridors that make it seem as if you had entered the Temple of Aphrodite! Alternatively you can choose to stay in one of the Borgo's casette, a deux or as a family of four, which nestle around two piazzas down bougainvillea- scented alleyways that you would swear had been there since the days of carts and horses. Larger families might prefer to take one of our 29 villas that fringe the village with their own plunge pools and shaded gardens, lush with oleander and rosemary. Borgo Egnazia is hard to describe. It's a place like nowhere else, with so much thought having gone into every detail. You have to come and experience it for yourself. What we have done is given glimpses about the many characteristics of the place. We hope you enjoy these. If they conjure in your mind the sense of a place rich in earthy provenance, splendid in its imagining and deeply restorative in its comforts and perfection, then our words will be doing some justice to the reality of Borgo Egnazia. Vair Spa Vair is emphasizing the role played by internal beauty, which illuminates each one of us and never deteriorates. We are introducing the results of a year's worth of research into an essential theme: The fulfillment of the psyche, that can be searched in a series of extraordinary treatments born precisely from this vision. Before choosing the best tailor-made spa itinerary, our guests often say they would like to feel happier after their treatments. This is why we suggest that you do not miss the life-changing treatments, which are carried out in the friendly and inviting atmosphere at Vair, the innovative and modern Mind & Body Spa surrounded by Puglia's natural beauty. We train every day to have the clearest attitude in welcoming you. The Training of the Spa Team has been extra-ordinary. Inspired and excellent teachers, all masters in their arts, left us tools and knowledge to enhance our methods for delivering committed Spa experiences in this changing world.

"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"

"This was hands down the greatest resort experience I've ever had. Came with my wife to celebrate our anniversary and every single moment there was magic. I'll list some highlights below: - The design is impeccable. Every square inch of the resort is beautifully designed, architected, and manicured. Like no matter where you are there - inside, outside, at the pool, in the bathroom, it looks staged and ready for a photo op. The rooms are gorgeous, beautiful, lush bathrooms, and most have balconies or rooftops with gorgeous views. - The two adult pools were stunning. 32 meters and 36 meters long! And even though it was high season, the pool was never crowded. I pretty much had the whole pool to myself for my daily swims. Poolside service was also excellent. There is also a family pool (for kids) at the other end of the resort. It looked nice but we never used it. They also have a legit beach club with a nice swimming spot and great service. The most delicious cocktail I had on the entire trip was served to me at their beach club. You just hop on a golf cart and they drive you down. fi - The spa was incredible. We didn't book or pay for any spa services, but enjoyed the hydro therapy regiment (extreme heat sauna, steam room, regular heat sauna, ice scrape, cool pool, cool showers). This is free and available for all guests. Great locker rooms, showers, slippers, and robes as well for spa use. Highly recommend. - The food was amazing. We ate at 3 of the main restaurants and each one was special. And I'm still dreaming about this random focaccia bread pizza we got randomly for lunch at the bar. The food was expensive of course but never felt over priced. Our favorite meal there was probably at the steak restaurant. - On Saturdays during high season they host a festival in their 'village square' and that was an absolute highlight. It felt like we were invited to a giant Italian wedding. It was $175 per person, but came with all you can eat and all you can drink with incredible food stations, wine & cocktails, desserts, etc. And incredible entertainment. It's an absolute must if you're there while it's happening. - Service was superb across the board. You feel so welcomed by everyone from reception to housekeeping to the lifeguards who set you up at the pool. My only complaint of this place is that it is so nice that you don't really want to leave it. We had all these ideas to drive around the region to explore the old cities but we barely left because it was so serene."

"Borgo Egnazia is truly one of the most unique hotel experiences I’ve ever had. There simply isn’t another property in the area that comes close to offering the same atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, it feels as though you’ve stepped into a beautifully restored monastery, where timeless architecture meets understated luxury. Although the rooms are smaller than those of many large luxury resorts, the incredible grounds, thoughtful design, and overall experience make you feel genuinely special throughout your stay. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a wonderful selection of fresh local products, and the majority of the staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming. A very special thank you to **Francesca**, who went above and beyond to help us locate our luggage after it was delayed by the airline. We arrived already feeling stressed, and her kindness, patience, and genuine willingness to help made all the difference. She is a wonderful example of true hospitality. Unfortunately, our interaction with **Benedetta** was quite different. We found her impatient and not particularly approachable at a time when we were already dealing with the frustration of missing luggage. A little empathy in those moments goes a long way, and I hope future guests receive the same level of care that Francesca consistently provided. That said, I would never let one disappointing interaction overshadow what was otherwise an exceptional stay. Borgo Egnazia is a remarkable destination and, in my opinion, the finest luxury hotel in the region. If you’re planning a trip to Puglia and want an unforgettable experience, have no doubt, this is the place to book."
