We enjoyed a 3 day stay at the Palazzo in October 2024. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Other contributors here have described the place beautifully so I will merely say it was one of our best ever holiday experiences. The location / rooms / food were all excellent but the standout was the people. Rarely have we experienced such courtesy , good humour and professionalism , all delivered with grace and panache. Bravo to all involved.

My husband and I stayed at Palazzo Margherita for a couple of nights during our 9-day trip through Puglia, and we absolutely loved it. Located in Bernalda, close to Matera, this boutique hotel is part of Francis Ford Coppola’s family ‘Hideaways,’ and you can really feel his connection to the town where his grandfather was born. The renovation is beautiful, and every part of the hotel is thoughtfully designed. We stayed in Suite 9, which honors Coppola’s Tunisian-born grandmother, and the room’s exotic mosaic ceilings, exquisite tiled flooring, and furniture reflected the decor of that region. The grounds are lush, with olive trees, flowers, and a gorgeous pool that makes the whole place feel like a peaceful retreat. The service was fantastic, especially thanks to Rossella, the manager, who made us feel so welcome. A highlight of our stay was a group dinner Rossella organized with the other guests of the hotel, where we were served delicious cheese, grilled meat, and fabulous local wines. The dining here is excellent, with breakfast also being a real treat—local cheeses, meats, and dairy from the area that were just so fresh. Palazzo Margherita is definitely a splurge, but one that's totally worth it. We can’t wait to go back!

“Movie-Setting Berautiful”

What a fabulous place-- really extraordinary. 9-room renovated palazzo in Basilicata, not far from Matera (which is extraordinary and worth a full-day visit). Rooms are spacious and elegant.

What a fabulous place-- really extraordinary. 9-room renovated palazzo in Basilicata, not far from Matera (which is extraordinary and worth a full-day visit). Rooms are spacious and elegant. Staff is extremely warm and welcoming-- Jennifer at the front desk is a real gem, and she escorts guests on torus of local cheesemaking shop. We stayed here for two nights, concluding an eight-night Puglia trip, and it was the perfect conclusion. Francis Ford Coppola pulled out all the stops in creating this gem. The grounds are tranquil and beautiful; the food is first-rate (great pizzas!) and the staff (shout out to Francesco!) terrific. Really authentic; the town is a small place where you feel immediately at home. We were there for my birthday and the hotel staff couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. Breakfasts and dinners in the courtyard are movie-worthy-- Coppola knows how to stage settings!
