the nitty gritty

  • Accommodation: With 63 hotel rooms, 92 townhouses and 28 villas, whether travelling as a couple or large family there is a room type for all visitors. Rooms are well equipped and beautifully decorated. Townhouses feature a living area and kitchenette and villas offer a fully equipped kitchen which makes travelling with children even more easier.  

  • Getting there: Just 50km from Bari International airport, the hotel will be able to organise an easy and scenic airport transfer at an additional cost. 

  • What to pack: Puglia is a very casual, laid back part of Italy, daytime it will be good to pack cool and light coverups, evenings are a bit more upscale, so maybe throw in a few nicer dresses. Kids will need protecting from that Italian sun so make sure you take plenty of protection and cool clothes for kids to feel comfortable in.  

  • Restaurants: The main restaurant, Due Camini is open all year round and is set in the main building. The food is traditional Pugliese, the menu changes with the seasons and the hotel is pretty much self-sufficient, but anything that isn’t homegrown is sourced from nearby. There are three other restaurants: La Frasca serves buffets and barbecues in the Borgo, and has a garden area for little ones; Trattoria Mia Cucina hosts cookery classes and serves traditional local dishes. Pescheria da Vito, set on the private beach, faces the sea – a picturesque setting for meals of grilled fresh fish, light salads and plates of pasta. Beach restaurant Cala Masciola is open for lunches and dinners (times change with the seasons) and serves up the likes of grilled octopus, spaghetti alle vongole, lobster and of course, freshly caught fish. 

  • Spa: Vair Spa offers a selection of tempting treatments to multiple-day pampering programmes, the adults-only spa is designed to relax, nourish and renew the body from inside and out. Pick between the happiness-inducing Arangion massage, the deeply cleansing Usual facial or invigorating body scrub. For a unique spa experience the Roman bath rituals include a candlelit soak in their stone-clad suite of baths, there is also a bio-sauna, hammam and flotation pool. Add a final touch to a luxurious spa day, by having your hair and make-up done by one of their trained specialists. Whatever ailment visitors are suffering from, or area you want to target, you’ll find a program to suit: Na Maele promises physical and psychological detox, Masciar will help posture and release muscular tensions. Vair spa is perfect for anyone wanting to focus on their health and wellbeing.

  • Signature Activities: There are so many activities available at Borgo Egnazia. Not only are there plenty of activities for kids to enjoy there are also plenty for the adults to get stuck into including authentic italian cooking classes, vintage car tours of the most beautiful corners of Pugla, Olive Oil tasting and also yoga and fitness classes with fully trained instructors. You can also enjoy a game of tennis or golf or perhaps a cycle tour around the breathtaking landscapes.




July and August provide that quintessential Italian summer experience, the weather in Puglia is softened by its proximity to the sea, but summer here still gets pretty hot so be prepared for hot weather if you visit during high summer months.
