Palazzo Margherita

Palazzo Margherita is situated in Bernalda, a small hilltop town near the Ionian Sea in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. Located in the province of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is famous for its ancient cave dwellings, it borders Puglia and is just 10 minutes from numerous pristine, white-sand beaches. While Puglia has already become popular for sightseeing, Basilicata is still to be discovered! Food and wine have remained authentic and untouched by mass tourism. A stay at Palazzo allows to experience both regions. The people of this region welcome visitors with a genuine hospitality that makes every guest feel like a local. The Palazzo has been completely restored by Francis Ford Coppola and the acclaimed French designer Jacques Grange, creating a luxurious, authentically Italian experience that ushers guests into a private world of palatial comfort, surrounded by gardens, courtyard and swimming pool, all just steps from a small, bustling town in which the visitor is a friend and neighbor rather than a tourist. Francis wanted the Palazzo to become a place that his children would want to visit again and again, and therefore invited the whole family to contribute ideas to the design. The Property is also the perfect spot whether you are looking for a "private" relaxing escape, a cozy celebration or a multi-generational family gathering, perfect for EXCLUSIVE USE!
