Dine in the Palazzo Margherita's eat-in kitchen and savour traditional regional dishes. You may opt to participate in hands-on cooking classes led by local chefs. Seasonal vegetables, local pasta and mouthwatering meats await at the informal barbecue hosted in the garden, known as the Garden Grigliata. Overlooking the town square, Cinecittà Bar serves Italian coffee, pizza and traditional cafe fare in a relaxed setting. Stop by the Family Bar for appetizers and cocktails, or sip a glass of local wine from the Pool Bar while enjoying the Italian sunshine.
Stone walls, clawfoot bathtubs, vaulted ceilings and hand-painted frescoes give each room unique character and historic charm. Some rooms feature furnished private terraces overlooking the garden or city square. Named for Coppola's first granddaughter, the Gia Suite features Rococo design with floral furnishings, a colourful chandelier and a fresco featuring Cupid stretching across the ceiling. The Francis Suite brings in Northern African influences including a tiled fireplace and Moroccan-stye lanterns overhead.
One of the hotel's most striking features is its private garden which features a baroque fountain, winding pathways, fruit trees and gardens that supply the on-site kitchens. At the far end of the garden, you can read a book in the comfort of a shaded lounge chair or soak up the sun in the outdoor swimming pool. Beyond the hotel grounds, the hilltop town of Bernalda offers authentic Italian food and culture and is a mere ten minutes from the white sand beaches of the southern coast. Transportation to the beach is available from the hotel as are picnic lunches and welcome drinks upon arrival.

Classic Italian décor lends this suite a warm ambiance with a modern touch. A secret back staircase leads to an upstairs loft, whose single bed and sitting room make it an enchanting hideaway for a child, or a perfect private reading room for adults. (It is said that this was the room of the Palazzo's young maid, Palmetta, who had given her heart to the dashing Agostino Coppola.) The room also features a majestic ceiling with a hand-painted restored fresco, and spacious bathroom with a clawfoot bathtub and separate shower. A Juliet balcony faces the main street and town square, a perfect spot to enjoy coffee or tea.
