It is a movie buff’s paradise, a luxury resort that attracts tourists from all over the world. And now that the Omicron variant has returned to hit hard also on the hotel sector, Palazzo Margherita, a nineteenth-century building in Bernalda (Matera), and transformed into a luxury resort by director Francis Ford Coppola, takes stock of the last few weeks. “With Omicron there has been a slowdown in bookings compared to the pre-Christmas period – explains Fernardo, of the booking and front back office to AdnKronos -. We are talking about 10-20% but we have not registered any cancellations. seasonal and will return to welcome its guests starting next April 1st “. Built in 1892 in Bernalda by the Margherita family, the building – which boasts 9 rooms, including 7 suites, for a total of 25 beds – is the birthplace of Agostino Coppola, grandfather of the director of ‘Il Padrino’ and has been transformed in a boutique hotel in 2012. “Most of our guests come from abroad – explains the booking clerk – 70% from the United States and North America while at European level, they are French, German and English tourists” . The slowdown on bookings comes after a summer season of great recovery for Palazzo Margherita, which not only recovered attendance in 2020, the year in which the structure remained completely closed, but aims to replicate the pre-pandemic numbers. “In 2021 we partially recovered and now let’s try to be optimistic – says Fernardo -. We are used to being very flexible. Last year we received last minute bookings and we have taken into account the fact that the same will happen this year. Surely people now feel safer than last year, vaccines have had an influence. ”As for the owner of the house, the director could soon return to walk among the marble floors and frescoes of Palazzo Margherita with his family. “The Coppolas come once a year to spend a few days of vacation here, with their children and grandchildren – underlines the booking clerk -. Last year they came back and I think they will again this year. When? We’ll see, they always decide at the last minute “.
