A Little Background&nbsp;

During the warm times of the year, such as spring and summer time, beautiful Puglia is blooming and bursting, with&nbsp;events, beach parties, and shows. Moreover, regardless of the season the natural landscapes are&nbsp;always breathtaking to see and enjoy. And yet, Puglia is also known for its extraordinary unforgettable culture and art. The landscapes are moderated with villages, churches, and castles. Along them one can find&nbsp;even some of&nbsp;the most unique UNESCO World Heritage sites: the world-famous &ldquo;trulli&rdquo; (cone-roof houses) in Alberobello or&nbsp;the&nbsp;beautiful and mysterious Castel del Monte near Andria and Monte Sant&rsquo;Angelo.&nbsp; 
 
The Borgo Egnazia fairy tale began in 1996,&nbsp;when a fresh new&nbsp;entrepreneurial vision from Sergio and Marisa Melpignano transformed&nbsp;Masseria San&nbsp;Domenico from a private family residence into an exclusive oasis of peace welcoming&nbsp;guests from all over the world. In fact, starting from May 2010, Borgo Egnazia became the largest property of the San Domenico Hotels Group, which includes Masseria San Domenico,&nbsp;Masseria Cimino, Masseria Le Carrube, San Domenico Golf, , and San Domenico House, each&nbsp;structure being shaped in an&nbsp;absolutely unique and fascinating manner, carrying in itself the&nbsp;highest levels of hospitality.

Time For a Tour!

Borgo Egnazia carries the proud weight of&nbsp;the true essence of the authentic Puglian hospitality. The property is built entirely of &ldquo;tufo&rdquo;, the rough&nbsp;typical limestone, and local stones cut by the skilled hands of stone masters. Artist and designer Pino Brescia was inspired by the&nbsp;simplicity of Puglia&rsquo;s ancient farmhouses and rural villages and with this in mind, reestablished Borgo Egnazia as&nbsp;a contemporary interpretation of Puglian architecture.

In Borgo Egnazia one can find&nbsp;three different types&nbsp;of accommodation. Each differs in terms of&nbsp;scope and size, but all conceive a&nbsp;harmonious blend of&nbsp;tradition and innovation, modernity and authenticity, grandeur and simplicity.

The first type being La Corte, cozy and refined rooms inside the main building. In total there are&nbsp;63 of them.

We then proceed from the main building to walk around the Borgo Egnazia grounds. Along our way we encounter&nbsp;many traditional townhouses, also known as&nbsp;Il Borgo. Combining in themselves typical Puglian elements, each one brings forth a truly special and home-like atmosphere.&nbsp;
