Borgo Egnazia
Less than two years have passed by since Gruppo San Domenico, a well known player in the luxury hotels’ business sector, first opened the magnificent Borgo Egnazia: a huge structure, comprising the perfect balance between local tradition and contemporary architecture, with a constant eye on environmental safeguard. Notwithstanding its recent opening, this amazing complex has already received several awards, such as the prestigious “Best European Hotel” at the Junior Design Awards 2012.
Borgo Egnazia is located in Savelletri di Fasano, in Puglia, southern Italy, crumbling on a strategic position in between Mare Adriatico and the majestic secular olive trees. Defining the local culture and habits permeating in the style of the whole complex is truly reductive: looking at every single detail, it is quite easy to notice how massive and frequent is the recourse to peculiar architectonic elements, such as rigorously original materials, as well as furniture realized by local artisans. The natural touch of local plants, a careful choice of jasmines, prickly pear and citrus trees, delimits the whole complex and guarantees a sense of intimacy to every guest.
The total area consists of 85 hectares, subdivided in three main parts, the Court, hyper luxurious hotel with 63 rooms, the Village, with 92 rooms and the 28 Villas with private pools. The lot encircled by restaurants, bars, SPAs, dedicated spaces for children, the beach club and the golf club: therefore, careful attention is reserved to every guest’s needs and desires.
The design style of the whole complex is deeply permeated with the local heritage and tradition: looking at the rooms, a perfect balance between Spartan appearance, essential luxury and attention to details is always reached. White is with no doubt the absolute protagonist in every part of the complex, which produce a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Sobriety and proportions, these are the authentic mantras of this place, which do not obstruct the explosion of extreme luxury: there’s no item that is positioned in a place without a pre-studied logic. Nature permeates the interiors through the smart placement of local flowers or even vegetables in the living room, and the outdoor greenery is variegated and flourishing.
This amazing complex rises in a place where anyone would love to live, and the landscape is even more exacerbated by the stunning architecture: for sure a sojourn in this hotel is an experience to do once in one’s life.
