Justin Timberlake married Jessica Biel at The Borgo Egnazia with good reason. A limestone estate of stunning comfort and luxury in the heart of Puglia’s countryside.

Borgo Egnazia appears seemingly out of nowhere. A short drive down a dusty little Italian country road and its off-white façade suddenly appears as if out of magic from within the olive trees and citrus groves. Only finished in 2011, it actually looks as though it’s an original Italian Borgo (meaning village) that has been renovated with panache and style. Bird-cages hang from the high lobby ceiling, the two outdoor pools glisten in the Adriatic sunshine and one simply feels as though they could move in on a permanent basis. If you can afford a villa, by all means book one (they are fabulous). Otherwise, the apartments are ideal for those travelling with children. They each have an outdoor private eating area and kitchens where meals can be loving cooked (either by you or a chef) and will feel very much like a second holiday home by the time you’ve unpacked. Plushness for parents meets kiddie heaven with perfection here.
