Palazzo Margherita: The Elegant Retreat of Francis Ford Coppola in Bernalda
The Palazzo Margherita is an intimate and luxurious 5-star hotel located in the quiet village of Bernalda, Basilicata, and is owned by the famous director Francis Ford Coppola. This magnificent 19th-century palace was carefully restored by Jacques Grange, maintaining the atmosphere of a private home and discreet luxury. The Palazzo is where the Coppola family gathers, and it was chosen for the wedding of his daughter Sofia, confirming its charm and authenticity. The structure offers a unique accommodation experience, far from the clamor of large tourist cities.
Rooms and Suites: Luxury, History, and Unique Design
The Palazzo offers only 9 sumptuous suites and rooms, each individually designed to reflect Sicilian and North African styles, with hand-painted tiled floors and original frescoes. Each suite is a tribute to Italian history and culture. The rooms feature luxurious marble bathrooms and all modern comforts, including free Wi-Fi. The Garden Suite offers direct access to the lush internal courtyard and private garden.
Dining: The Home Cooking of Mamma Agata
The dining at Palazzo Margherita is centered on authentic Southern Italian cuisine. Guests can enjoy simple yet refined dishes, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The menu is inspired by the traditional Lucanian and Sicilian recipes, with the addition of family influences. A must-do experience is the cooking class with Mamma Agata, to learn the secrets of fresh pasta and local desserts. Breakfast is served in the courtyard and the Cinecittà Bar is the ideal place for an evening cocktail in a cinematic setting.
Exclusive Services: Pool, Secret Garden, and Cinema
The hotel is surrounded by a magnificent botanical garden with fountains, orange trees, and centuries-old magnolias, where a splendid outdoor pool is located. A distinctive feature is the internal cinema room, where guests can relax and watch Coppola's favorite films. The property organizes private excursions to explore the nearby Ionian beaches and the archaeological sites of Metaponto. Despite its exclusivity, the hotel maintains a discreet and highly personalized service, typical of a private residence.
