Palazzo Margherita
Bernalda
Basilicata, Italy
Perched atop the hills in the largely undiscovered town of Bernalda, sits a breathtakingly unique, luxury hideaway
Palazzo Margherita, built in the mid-19th century by the Margherita family, is situated in Bernalda, a small hilltop town in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. Located in the province of Matera, famous for its ancient cave dwellings, dramatic landscapes, and historic houses, Bernalda is relatively unknown outside of Italy. It is just ten minutes from the coast, where miles of white sand beaches border the Mediterranean.
The Palazzo boutique hotel in Italy has been completely restored by Francis Ford Coppola and acclaimed French designer Jacques Grange, creating a luxurious, authentically Italian experience that ushers guests into a private world of palatial comfort, surrounded by gardens, a courtyard, and a swimming pool, all just steps from a small, bustling town in which the visitor is a friend and neighbour rather than a tourist.
The nine rooms and suites are integrating subtle element of north African design (a historical influence in southern Italy) high domed ceilings with beautifully restored paintings and frescos.
