Borgo Egnazia is a visionary interpretation of a typical Puglian village, a "Nowhere Else" place
embodying the true essence of Puglia. Located in Savelletri di Fasano, among millennial olive
groves beside the Adriatic blue sea, it is open all year round and offers a beguiling portfolio of
rooms, casettas and villas. It features Vair, the tradition-based Spa, and San Domenico Golf,
one of the best courses in Italy. With its four sparkling pools (two heated), nearby beaches,
paddle and tennis courts, cookery school, kids' clubs and "Nowhere Else" experiences, it's no
wonder this hotel was named 2016 Virtuoso Best Hotel of the Year.
