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.

My wife and I stayed for a week here the last week of July and had a great time. We used American Express Platinum and were upgraded to a beautiful room. The hotel resort is gorgeous and looks like an Italian village. The pools and the beaches are terrific and the restaurant by the sandy beach is spectacular. We were personally assigned our own concierge, Rosemary, who was outstanding. She organized all of our trips and gave us an incredible peek into life in Puglia. The breakfasts were amazing and the service by the entire staff was without exception the best. All of the restaurants on site are incredible. We dined at the high end restaurant one night on site and we were given our own personal tour of the kitchen- what a treat! Management at this hotel knows how to pamper its guests. We will certainly be back to the Borgo Egnazia. It was a great vacation for us.

We arrived at Borgo Egnazia in Puglia planning on staying 4 nights (Amex centurion recommendation) and couldn???t get out of there fast enough! We arrived late on 1 August therefore had to stay over and told them we will be checking out early 3 August and didn???t get one cent refunded....but we were so happy to get out of purgatory that I didn???t care at that point! There is no ac in huge foyer or stairway or halls.. candles burning 24/7 making it even hotter. Everything is white! No color no plants - only ropes hanging from walls, metal circles hanging from ceilings and stacks of newspapers with strings around the stacks for decor! All cactus and rocks outside no maintenance required BC all cement walls, grounds, common areas. It felt like a prison where one is punished! Scary!! Elevators are all white plastic walls (cheap as can be), one has to walk forever to rooms where there are no color or lighted signs or numbers..all blend in with white concrete walls.. Beach is a golf cart ride away (10) minutes. Spa is so hot there is NO ac again! Our ???sea view??? room was out a small door up stairs on a balcony looking left??? Crazy! The food was good but how much can one eat? Never ever could someone dream up a place like this! Awful and scary! If a family wants to rest and get away there are plenty of beautiful places in Italy! And same if not less expensive! Italian riviera or Amalfi coast or French Riviera all have lovely hotels and B&B???s. Why go to Borgo and suffer? The place should be destroyed and something beautiful like a four seasons or Belmond, etc hotel!!

Me, my family (mom, sister, father and grand-parents) went to Borgo for 10 days for my grand-parents 50th anniversary. There was an incredible kids club. One day we went go-carting. There were a good amount of staff there so I felt safe in such a big place. We stayed in a villa with a private pool and a lot of space. Some nights (I forget what day of the week) There were activities for kids and entertainment for everybody, like people juggling fire etc... It was a very fun experience.

My family of 4 have just returned from a fortnight in Puglia. Our last 6 nights were in Villa Bella at Borgo Egnazia. The villa was gorgeous. It was spacious, light and immaculate. The best was the housekeeper that we had and the superb breakfasts served on the terrace. There was so much food that we often had enough for informal lunch by our small pool. Although she spoke little English she made us feel very welcome and kept the villa spotless during our stay.
We ate at two hotel restaurants which were ok but pricey so we often preferred to drive to local villages for dinner.
I visited the spa for three treatments and it was definately the best spa I have used. The spirit 120 was incredible as I had all the pools to myself.
We used our own small pool most of the time but did use the hotel pool on the last day. Service was attentive and very friendly. Loungers were found together and the attendant constantly monitored the umbrellas to make sure we stayed in the shade.
On our final day we were offered a room to use as we had an evening flight. However this was not needed as the hotel has large changing rooms near the pool. Here there were towels, lockers and showers and plenty of room for changing. Again all immaculate and clean.
The only negative was that the activities were not cheap. However I had already made my own reservations direct with Alessandro of Puglia Experiences for the day tours of the area so fortunately this did not affect us. The bikes came free and we were given an extra one and our teenage girls loved cycling round the grounds and down to the beach.
