New Arrival a TRUE 19th century palazzo
Palazzo Margherita is situated in Bernalda, a small hilltop town near the Ionian Sea in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. The Palazzo has been completely restored by Francis Coppola who purchased it in 2004 with the desire to transform it into a small, luxurious hotel, believing it was time to introduce visitors to this stunning and still undiscovered region. The hotel has just nine rooms. There isn’t a restaurant but a huge table that seats 12 in the brick-vaulted kitchen, where two local women, Filomena and Enza, produce delicious meals of a kind you might be offered in someone’s home. One of the Palazzo's most magical features is its large private garden, fully enclosed and maintained with a focus on historic preservation. For guests,
the garden is a place to stroll and relax, and to enjoy meals and wine throughout the day and evening at the Pool Bar. Room rate starts from â‚Ź360 per night including breakfast and cooking lessons. Palazzo Margherita Bernalda, Italy www.palazzomargherita.com

Bahian cuisine, with its abundant African influence, is revered throughout Brazil as one of the country’s best. UXUA’s kitchens offer Bahian cooking with a very local emphasis, and presented with the same joy and pride which food is served in any local home. Ingredients include produce from UXUA’s own garden and other organic farms of Trancoso, as well as the freshest fish caught using traditional techniques. Cooking in Bahia is a social event, and the hotel’s main kitchen is an open structure featuring a counter with bar-stools where guests are welcome to sit and chat with the chefs, watch and learn, or just sample what’s cooking.
