"Krone" knows hotel

The G7 resided in this luxury art village this year

The G7 met and stayed in one of the most unusual luxury hotels in the world. The "Krone" visited it.

Disneyland? Little Venice in Las Vegas? Caribbean feeling with a sandy beach and palm trees in the Chinese province? We've all been there. But it can be much better and worse at the same time. And in the middle of Europe.

Of all places, the G7 summit took place in one of the most unusual luxury hotels in the world. The Borgo Egnazia in southern Italy is an artificially constructed Apulian village whose houses accommodate luxury rooms and suites - and the tourists who can afford the four-figure room prices. The "Krone" visited and tested the luxury hotel.

Pool landscapes, olive grove, private piazza
Impression: at some point you really do believe you are in a real Italian vacation village. Hundreds of staff help you to relax and unwind. Real villagers would have to be hired for authenticity. A wide variety of pool landscapes, an olive grove and a village piazza with market stalls (!) on some days create a certain rapture to real life. You can walk or take the shuttle (golf cart) past the golf courses to your own bay, where the best lobster pasta awaits you at one of the many restaurants. Puglia itself is of course always worth a visit. The Americans love the new Tuscany anyway.

Impressions from Borgo Egnazia on Instagram:

Camilla and Aldo Melpignano had the idea to create Borgo Egnazia; they had the small hotel town built on the site of the former military airfield near Savelletri di Fasano.

Madonna and the Beckhams spend their vacations here. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel celebrated a five-day wedding at the Borgo. The Hollywood guests were flown in by helicopter, of course, as the hotel staff still tell us in awe today. Grandpa Joe Biden was also there with his.
