Discover timeless elegance and tranquility at Emily Hotels’ newest European gem, ideal for group celebrations and luxurious villa vacations, offers paradise in Polignano a Mare

POLIGNANO A MARE, ITALY (May 8, 2024) – Tucked among the stunning embrace of 2,400 olive trees and sprawling across a 20-hectare estate, Emily Hotels excitedly announces the opening of Villa Torre Bianca. Opening just in time for summer travels, celebrations or retreats, the historic villa was originally crafted as a resplendent summer abode in the 19th century. Villa Torre Bianca stands as a testament to timeless elegance and luxury and beckons discerning travelers to indulge in a private villa vacation within the Italian countryside.

In Triggianello, a 15 min. drive from the enchanting town of Polignano a Mare and seven kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, this historic gem unveils a treasure trove of 11 appointed rooms and suites, each boasting stunning vistas of the private gardens. Ideal for intimate family retreats or private group celebratory gatherings, Villa Torre Bianca promises an unforgettable getaway amidst comfort and serenity. From the villa’s signature tower, which houses the Torre Bianca Suite, guests enjoy spectacular views of the picturesque village of Triggianello and the surrounding towns of Polignano a Mare, Conversano, Castellana Grotte and Monopoli.

Polignano a Mare, a town perched atop limestone cliffs along the coast of southern Italy, captivates visitors with its beauty and rich history. Its narrow streets wind through ancient whitewashed buildings, leading to breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea’s turquoise waters and pristine beaches. Steeped in tradition and culture, this charming town also offers delectable seafood cuisine, local markets, and a warm, welcoming community that captures the essence of Mediterranean life.

The estate offers many luxurious amenities and accommodations, including an alluring outdoor swimming pool paired with inviting loungers for tranquil moments of relaxation. For guests craving wellness during their stay, Villa Torre Bianca houses a gym and sauna. An onsite coffee bar ensures guests can receive the pick-me-up they need before a day of adventure, and the restaurant serves traditional Apulian cuisine featuring regional ingredients. Other thoughtful amenities include an indoor TV lounge room, daily housekeeping, daily continental breakfast and onsite guest services. For groups or parties interested in enhancing their stay, the villa offers a selection of luxury services, such as a private experience at Lido Sabbiadoro, which is Monopoli’s most exclusive beach club, or immersive activities including cooking classes, private tours, cellar tastings, offsite excursions and more. Premier services such as private transfers, room service, babysitting, celebration planning and private dining, spa services, and fitness classes are also available upon request.

The addition of Villa Torre Bianca to Emily Hotels’ portfolio marks a unique venture for the company. The villa marks the first acquisition in Europe, and Emily Hotels has plans for continued expansion throughout North America and Italy over the next few years. Emily Hotels is a growing portfolio of hotels and villas inspired by the ethos that art, whether culinary, film, painting, design or other mediums, changes the way people look at the world. Each property delivers distinctive design and offerings inspired by its location while promising a uniquely fresh hospitality experience where locals and visitors alike can collaborate, celebrate and feel inspired.

The new development proceeds Onni Group’s commitment to diversifying its hospitality offerings and embracing the value of unique destinations. The Villa Torre Bianca also has a unique tie to its ownership group’s beginning; the late founder of Onni Group, Innocenzo De Cotiis, was a native Italian, spending the majority of his childhood there until his family immigrated to Canada.

Villa Torre Bianca is located at Contrada Scattone, 916, 70046 Triggianello, Italy.
