Egnazia Ospitalità Italiana, a new hotel management group, is the brainchild of Aldo Melpignano.
Aiming for 20 hotels by 2027
The Puglia hotel entrepreneur started in the industry in 1996 with the opening of the San Domenico farmhouse, but he is especially internationally renowned for his luxury Apulian resort Borgo Egnazia. His new venture includes some properties that belong to the Melpignano family. From the Le Carrube farm in Ostuni to the Santavenere in Maratea and the Hotel de Len in Cortina d'Ampezzo. There are also two openings scheduled for 2024: Castel Badia in Brunico and a property on the outskirts of Rome. The goal is to have a portfolio of twenty hotels by 2027.
“We want to preserve Italian hospitality”
“The big international operators are increasingly focussing on Italy and are buying or taking on real gems throughout the country, – explains Aldo Melpignano. - Egnazia Ospitalità Italiana sets itself the objective of supporting this trend. We want to make our know-how available to iconic structures and preserve Italian hospitality, which is made up of a warm and spontaneous welcome and strong links with the countryside."
