6 New Luxury Hotels In Southern Italy & More News Here – Upjobsnews

Southern Italy has some of the most country’s beautiful beaches dotting its scenic coastlines. It also offers iconic archaeological and historical sites, mouth-watering regional cuisine, and the promise of warm weather throughout much of the year.

The ancestors of many Americans and Canadians hailed from the southern regions of Italy—which include Abruzzo, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.

Travel writer and broadcast journalist Rick Steves has said: “If you like Italy as far south as Rome, go farther south because it gets better. But if Italy is getting on your nerves by the time you get to Rome, don’t go farther south, it gets worse. Italy intensifies as you plunge deeper.”

The following new hotel openings will give tourists one more reason to head south on their next journey to Italy:

1) Castle Elvira

Town: Trepuzzi (province of Lecce)

Region: Puglia

After it had been abandoned for more than 100 years, entrepreneur Steve Riseley acquired Castle Elvira and spent three years transforming it into a luxury residence. Set on 37 acres of private parkland, the property offers sweeping views of the area, including citrus and olive groves.

The castle will have four en-suite guest rooms, two with lounge areas. Two additional guest bedrooms are housed in a neighboring groundskeeper’s cottage. Amenities include a swimming pool, a 12-person jacuzzi, rooftop aperitivo bar, and an onsite cafe serving Cucina Povera Salentina cuisine made with locally-sourced ingredients.

Riseley worked closely with architects Filotico & Partner and a team of specialist artisans to restore the Castle. The design maintains many of the castle’s original features while introducing new elements that respect its fairytale past. The property will also feature many curated artworks, including a selection of new pieces by Riseley’s artist-husband Harvey B-Brown’s Adored and Adorned collection.

Scheduled opening: May 2022

2) Borgo Santandrea

Town: Amalfi (province of Salerno)

Borgo Santandrea is the first new luxury hotel to open on the Amalfi coast in 15 years. Built on a cliff with magnificent views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the fisherman’s hamlet of Conca dei Marini, it has a private beach, jetty, and oceanfront pool.

The intimate, recently renovated property has 29 full-service rooms and 16 luxurious suites with panoramic views of the blue waters. A tasteful white and blue palette showcases local craftsmanship from Amalfitano artisans with hand-painted tiles, antique furniture, and hand-crafted pieces. Landscape gardeners from Ischia created a series of garden terraces filled with plants that are typical of the coastline including olive, lemon, and pomegranate trees, winter jasmine, and Myrtus communis dating back 150 years.

The intimate hotel also has a fitness center, three restaurants under the direction of Executive Chef Crescenzo Scotti, and two bars.

4) Baglioni Masseria Muzza

Town: Otranto (province of Lecce)

Region: Puglia

The 40 rooms and suites at Baglioni Masseria Muzza, the newest property from Baglioni Hotels & Resorts, are bright and airy. This traditional, whitewashed limestone masseria (farmhouse) dates back to the 17th century. Located only a few minutes from the coastal town of Otranto and the Salento Sea, it is nestled in the countryside amidst five acres of olive groves and Mediterranean flora.

Bathed in natural colors, the spacious guest rooms are decorated in a traditional Puglia style that blends casual with elegant. With a specialized kids club and dedicated children’s pool, the resort is poised to attract families. Parents will enjoy relaxing at the Baglioni spa (with a steam bath, covered pool, Finnish sauna, sensory showers, and more) or playing a round of golf at the Acaya Golf Club, one of the most scenic in Italy. The drive to the nearby Baroque city of Lecce is just about one-half hour.

Everyone will enjoy gathering for meals at one of three restaurants on the property that serve authentic, locally-sourced Pugliese cuisine. Sipping an aperitivo at sunset or after-dinner cocktail at the Limonaia Bar is the perfect way to end the day.
