Savelletri di Fasano, Italy

Borgo Egnazia

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose Borgo Egnazia for a village-scale Puglian resort whose beach, golf and spa experiences suit travelers who want the destination largely on site.

About the hotel

In Savelletri di Fasano, where the Itria Valley slopes toward the Adriatic, Borgo Egnazia reimagines a Puglian village as a large resort. Its 184 listed accommodation units are arranged across La Corte, Il Borgo and Le Case: hotel rooms and casette among lanes and piazzas, plus independent villas. The experience ranges from the social rhythm of the central Borgo to private villa stays, with Vair spa, two private beaches and San Domenico Golf extending the resort beyond its village-like core.

Choose it if

You want hotel rooms, village-style casette and independent villas within one resort, rather than a single conventional hotel block.
You plan to combine time by the Adriatic with golf or spa time; the property lists two private beaches, San Domenico Golf and Vair.
You are traveling with children and can book in Il Borgo or Le Case, where families with children under 13 are welcome.

Skip it if

You want an urban base with city life immediately outside; Borgo Egnazia is in coastal, countryside Savelletri di Fasano.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One guest highlights the breakfast, especially the changing pastries, while another found the resort’s food unimpressive for the prices. Room impressions also differ by account: one guest describes cramped sleeping and bathroom space, while another praises the large, beautiful property and things to do but found it overpriced, somewhat dated, and lacking authenticity.

“One of the best luxe hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The breakfast spread was next-level (I went to bed every night looking forward to finding out what the pastry of the day would be)”

“Found the food at resort to be disappointing. Not really impressive and unimpressive given prices.”

r/chubbytravel ↗ · Apr 16, 2026

“The room was so tiny and poorly designed, there was no space for our belongings in the bedrooms, drawers were so cramped they opened into our bed, and bathroom was so small that the shower door did not fully open.”

r/FATTravel ↗ · Mar 10, 2026

“It’s beautiful property and big and lots to do but overall was very overpriced and a bit outdated and to your point, didn’t feel “authentic”.”

Borgo Santandrea

Amalfi, Italy

BeachSea Views

Above Conca dei Marini, a fishing village on the Amalfi Coast, Borgo Santandrea occupies a cliffside about 10 minutes from Amalfi. The 52-room-and-suite hotel was made by transforming a 1960s property, pairing mid-century Italian design with Mediterranean craft and handmade ceramics. Terraces and gardens descend toward a private pebble beach, reached by elevator or a path through the gardens. Its defining experience is a stay between panoramic sea views above and the water’s edge below.

Hotel Il Pellicano

Hotel Il Pellicano is a long-established Tuscan coast hotel on Monte Argentario, spilling down a cliff into a private cove above the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Rooms and suites sit in the main house and cottages, with sea-view terraces, gardens, a private beach terrace reached by elevator, and a heated seawater pool shaping the stay.
