Palazzo Margherita

Basilicata


Located in the hill town of Bernalda near the birthplace of director Francis Ford Coppola's grandfather, this 19th-century palazzo has been thoughtfully resurrected as a stunning boutique hotel, complete with colourful frescoes and tiles. There are a number of bars scattered about the property and guests can learn from the chefs as they prepare lip-smacking Basilicatan fare.

The excellent Cinecittà Bar Bistrot is open to outside diners.
