The review

Space, food, and privacy — the Puglia entry on my shortlist of honeymoon hotels I'd book anywhere in the world.

The Fifteen isn't a ranking — it's my shortlist of honeymoon hotels I'd book anywhere in the world, where every property earns its place for a different kind of couple. Borgo Egnazia is #07, and the three words I gave it there tell you exactly why: space, food, and privacy.

Built as a whitewashed village in the Puglian countryside near the Adriatic, it's the entry on my list for couples who find the classic honeymoon suite claustrophobic. Here you can take a room, a suite, or an entire casetta with its own courtyard — and the property's scale means you're never stacked on top of other guests.

And the food: Puglia is Italy's most exciting eating region right now, and Borgo Egnazia is its flagship table — the reason food-driven couples on my list keep landing here over the more famous coasts.

What stood out

The details that made the list

01: Space. A village, not a hotel block — casette with courtyards and real distance between you and everyone else.
02: Food. Puglia's produce and seafood, cooked at the region's flagship — the strongest eating of any property on The Fifteen's Italy section.
03: Privacy. The layout is built for couples who want to disappear for a week — the exact brief The Fifteen exists to answer.

Know before you book

The Fine Print, From Your Advisor

01: Puglia takes one extra step to reach. Fly to Bari or Brindisi — easy connections from Rome — and the transfer is short. I handle the routing.
02: Choose your accommodation type deliberately. Rooms, suites, and casette live differently — tell me the trip and I'll place you.
03: Compare it within The Fifteen. Puglia's space-and-food brief versus Amalfi's drama versus Como's romance — the shortlist exists so we can have exactly that conversation.
