When Borgo Egnazia wins: choose Borgo Egnazia if you prioritize a five-star level of design and service, want on-site golf and beach-club access, or are booking for a special occasion or food-focused stay (Michelin-starred Due Camini).
When Grand Hotel La Chiusa di Chietri wins: pick La Chiusa di Chietri if you want a roomy four-star hotel closer to Alberobello’s trulli, straightforward resort amenities (pool, spa, kids’ facilities) and a typically lower price point than a luxury seaside resort.
