This suite has a romantic history. The bedroom has a hidden staircase leading to an antechamber with a single bed and a small lounge.

The main bedroom has champagne-pink striped walls, a gilded ceiling frieze, a chandelier and hand-painted floor tiles. The king-size bed faces a floor-to-ceiling window, which opens out onto a balcony overlooking the town square. This room also has a Loewe HDTV, BluRay/DVD player, iPod dock, access to the hotel’s digital Italian-film library, a minibar and free WiFi; and the ensuite has a bathtub and a separate shower. Please note, if this room is booked with an additional two children under three on the extra beds, one child will be charged (€90 a night) and the other can stay free of charge.

The room also has a coloured-glass chandelier, floral-upholstered furnishings and a Juliet balcony overlooking Bernalda’s main street and Town Square.

Suite Seven (Roman)

Francis Ford Coppola’s son Roman (a director, screenwriter and frequent Wes Andersen collaborator) helped to design this suite.

A Juliet balcony overlooks the garden and courtyard and the ensuite has a separate shower and a claw-foot bathtub. This 45sq m room has a king-size bed and features a Loewe HDTV, BluRay/DVD player, iPod dock, access to the hotel’s digital Italian-film library, a minibar and free WiFi.

The bedroom features a king-size bed facing a floor-to-ceiling window, which opens out onto a Juliet balcony, and the suite has a Loewe HDTV, BluRay/DVD player, iPod dock, access to the hotel’s digital Italian-film library, a minibar and free WiFi.

Suite Nine (Francis)

2guests

This is the grandest suite in the house, designed by Coppola himself, with a teal herringbone bejmat-tiled floor and a kaleidoscopic Tunisian-style ceiling, which reflects the melting-pot history of the area and pays homage to Coppola’s Tunisian grandmother. There’s a black-and-orange art deco-style fireplace, a fully furnished terrace overlooking the garden and the courtyard and a large ensuite is outfitted in bold patterned tiles and white marble, with a roll-top bathtub and a separate shower. The room features a Loewe HDTV, BluRay/DVD player, iPod dock, access to the hotel’s digital Italian-film library, a minibar and free WiFi. There’s also a large Italianate writing desk facing three arched windows that overlook the gardens – an inspiring spot to sit and perhaps pen a Coppola-worthy script.
