About the location
Down in the heel of Italy's boot is the region of Puglia. With quaint towns and villages and a landscape dominated by olive groves and vineyards, it's rural Italy at its best. The area is renowned for its cuisine, and you'll find plenty of restaurants serving up authentic local dishes. As well as being home to some spectacular (and often half-empty) sandy beaches, Puglia offers a raft of day-tripping options. Head for historical Ostuni or handsome Lecce, discover Alberobello's iconic trulli houses, or explore the caves near the town of Castellana, which stretch over three kilometres and date back two million years. UNESCO-listed Matera is also in reach – the town’s sassi (districts) are filled with centuries-old cave houses hewn into the hillsides.

We stayed at the Borgo over the Christmas holiday in a Casette Splendida. The hotel honored my leaders club Aurelian membership and upgraded my booking to the biggest cassette (stand alone home type of lodging) and it was a very nice surprise!
This property is truly one of a kind. It???s so big it???s almost a small town. I can???t remember the number of times we got lost just trying to find our room :D. The check in process was very swift and the front desk staff showed us to our room in her super stylish hooded robe. The lighting in this property is very soft to create a sense of warmth with nice aroma the air.
Our room is equally amazing. On the first floor there is a living room, bathroom and a spare bedroom. On the second floor there is the master bedroom and master bathroom with full tub and a separate shower. It also has heated floor. It also comes with a private balcony and a roof top deck with partial ocean views.
During our stay there was a special Christmas market in the central plaza every night with free appetizers, drinks and some interesting things to buy. There were also fun things to do such as pasta making class.
There are plenty of dining options just inside the property with two separate breakfast halls. We tried the room service on our last day and the pizza was out of this world with excellent service.
Overall we had such a blast at this hotel and we really are looking forward to our return in the near future.

We spent my birthday and New Years eve 2019/20 and could not recommend Borgo Egnazia more. The hotel is like it's own little village and takes some time to explore like many small Italian towns in the area. The experience itself was nothing less than 6 star. The rooms and service were impeccable. On my birthday 30th December we enjoyed a 'cave' dinner which although expensive was amazing. We had local food and amazing hospitality. I found the New Years even dinner a little too long and got very hungry before some of the food came out but that is the Italian way of eating. I will look to return in warmer weather since I think this has so much more to offer than what I could see in 4 days. I also like the secure feeling of the property and the concierge service for the car. The check in process was also smooth along with the whole experience. Breakfast was vast although the breakfast room did get busy around 9.30am. The attention to detail is second to none.

Borgo Egnazia has become my happy place.
The premises are spectacular!
Why do we go back:
Great villa/rooms, best food and wine, lovely service, kids of all age love it, the almost guaranteed weather....4 great pools, and of course the award winning spa! I can keep going.
The only thing I dread about Borgo Egnazia, is however hard it tried, I always end up putting on weight there. The food is irresistible. It is the land of Burrata and olive oil after all.
We had lovely Cathiana ( excuse spelling) preparing our breakfast daily and it was such a treat. I missed her when we went home.
I can???t wait to go back.

For some reason they didn't let me post the whole review due to profanity, however I didn't have any. I have the whole one up on Google.
So I will just say this..
Make sure you ask if there is a corporate event happening or some sort of event at the open air square. If there is, make them put you on the farthest room from there, if not you will experience a terrible night of loud music, low end and bass, and the management will not care one bit. Not to mention the fact that the corporate group will commandeer the staff for the duration and you will be left on the sidelines.
Another note - rent a car and see Puglia, especially the food. Hotel food is terrible, check out the small towns and villages, had amazing food there!

This is like an ideal village in Puglia, all contained in one resort. It is so beautiful and relaxing it is tempting to never leave. There are hotel rooms, townhouses, villas, a central piazza, restaurants, several pools, a nice spa, and and beach club. It is great for couples (especially the main hotel)and families (the villas or townhouses). The separate pools for families are great for kids. It is a short distance (walking, by bike or tram ride) to the Adriatic and their beach club. There isn???t much of a real beach, though there is a sandy area for the kids. There are stairways into the water for swimming. The water is very clear but a bit chilly. The beach club restaurant is very good - order the fresh fish caught that day. It is fabulous - served at the table. The location is very good - reasonably close to Alberobello, Ostuni, Polignano a Mare, and other places to visit in Puglia - if you can force yourself to leave the resort.
