Borgo Egnazia, Puglia, Italy
This golf and spa resort near the Italian fishing village of Savelletri is the brainchild of Aldo Melpignano, a former investment banker who owns it with his family. It looks as if it has been there for centuries, but it opened fully only in 2011, offering accommodation within a village environment in either townhouses or luxurious private villas. <P><P><I>For further information see <a href='http://www.borgoegnazia.com/en' target='_blank'>borgoegnazia.com</a>.</I>
