Description
Salty sea air blends with the heady scent of an olive grove and citrus garden at Casa Magnifica in Puglia. A short distance away, waves lap at a sandy beach. With the sun shining on the Puglian countryside, you’ll sink into relaxation as soon as you arrive on your villa holiday in Puglia.
At Casa Magnifica, a limestone luxury villa at the exclusive Borgo Egnazia complex, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. You’ll have access to Borgo Egnazia’s facilities, including a five star hotel, spa, seven restaurants and three bars. You’ll also enjoy maximum peace and privacy in this discreet villa with private swimming pool.
Neutral décor and subtle lighting at Casa Magnifica provides a calming effect. Spacious open plan living areas and a well-equipped kitchen are designed with your convenience in mind. Outside, you can relax in the covered outdoor lounge, stretch out on your gazebo or while away the hours on your sun lounger.
When you’re not reclining on a lounger, bubbly in hand, beside Casa Magnifica’s private outdoor pool, you might pad to the on-site Vair spa.
Each morning you’ll awake to a delicious breakfast served by your Massaia, “a local mamma” whilst your local advisor will be on hand as little or as much as you wish, from offering insider information about places to visit and excursions to planning a tailored itinerary. The central location of this villa at Borgo Egnazia means you’re well placed for sightseeing. Puglia was recently voted one of the top 20 most beautiful destinations in the world by Conde Nast Traveller US.
There is also plenty to keep everyone busy on site from the kids clubs, gym, spa, cooking classes and golf. Handily, you’ll have a golf cart and fleet of bicycles at your disposal during your stay at this splendid villa.

Cala Masciola Beach Club offers seafood sensations from the nearby marina of Savelletri, whilst La Fonte is ideal for young explorers to build sand castles, jump for joy in the playground area and splash in the crystal clear waters.
At night, Borgo Egnazia’s central piazza comes to life, playing host to festivals and music shows. You couldn’t choose a more atmospheric location for your villa holiday in Italy, but still with your own private oasis.
