Palazzo Margherita is the realization of renowned director Francis Ford Coppola’s dream to convert a 19th century palazzo in his grandfather’s charming hometown into a luxurious boutique hotel; the restoration took five years. Guests can choose from nine uniquely elegant rooms and suites with original details such as stone walls, frescoed ceilings, clawfoot tubs, and hand painted tile floors. Amenities include a screening room with 100 Italian films personally selected by Coppola, an eat in kitchen where guests are taught to make pasta by hand, and a delightful café overlooking Bernalda’s town square.
