Places to combine Vila Istra with
Puglia
Located in the heart of Puglia, Borgo Egnazia is set amongst ancient olive groves that stretch across the Itria Valley of southern Italy and is just steps from the shimmering Adriatic sea. This resort is an homage to the traditional Apulian village, blending local architecture with meticulous craftsmanship.
The property offers an exquisite collection of villas, townhouses, rooms and suites – all crafted to harmonise with the surrounding landscape. The resort’s facilities elevate the experience, featuring four main pools, two private beaches, a spa, tennis courts, championship golf course and a range of water sports. For families, a dedicated kids club ensures that younger guests enjoy both care and engaging activities.
Culinary excellence is a cornerstone of the Borgo Egnazia experience. The Michelin-starred Due Camini restaurant crafts dishes inspired by authentic Apulian recipes, pairing fresh, local ingredients with inventive techniques to create memorable Mediterranean flavours. The resort’s celebrated cucina povera philosophy honours humble, traditional fare that perfectly complements the idyllic surroundings.
Days at Borgo Egnazia unfold at a leisurely pace. Morning strolls through groves heavy with fragrant olives and citrus, afternoons lounging by pools shimmering under the Italian sun and evenings savouring fine wines as the sun sets over the Adriatic.
