Several “life-changing’ programmes like the Tarant for women, a 3 day transformative and rejuvenating experience which is one of its most innovative and unforgettable programmes. The Nghiane for men, is a 3-5 day stress relieving program for great men who need to relax and unwind. These and so many other programs, a la carte spa treatments, the Due Camini Restaurant and the championship San Domenico 18 hole golf course makes Borgo Egnezia a perfect retreat.
Borgo Egnazia is located in the heart of Puglia, immersed among the ancient olive groves and lemon trees of the Itria valley and only steps away from the crystal blue Adriatic sea of Savelletri. This sumptuous property is made up of a collection of white villas designed to evoke a traditional Apulian village, complete with piazza and alleyways.
