Pop superstar Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner are celebrating their recent nuptials with a dreamy Italian honeymoon, and the couple chose a truly special location for part of their romantic getaway.

The newlyweds stayed at Palazzo Margherita, an exquisite nine-room luxury hotel nestled in the small hilltop town of Bernalda in southern Italy's Basilicata region . The property offers the kind of privacy and seclusion that celebrities often seek, making it an ideal retreat.

The historic palace is owned by legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who purchased the 19th-century building in 2004 to honor his grandfather Agostino, a native of Bernalda . The hotel holds deep family significance, as Sofia Coppola celebrated her wedding there in 2011, and the Coppola family continues to use the palazzo for personal visits .

From the outside, the building appears understated, but inside guests discover a stunning courtyard, peaceful gardens, marble walkways, and a private pool surrounded by towering palm trees . The intimate hotel features only nine rooms, ensuring an exclusive and tranquil experience.

Guests can enjoy authentic local cuisine, including homemade pasta and regional wines, as well as cooking classes in the hotel's kitchen . The property's location provides easy access to historic sites and the beautiful beaches along the Ionian Sea .

The couple officially tied the knot on May 31, 2026, in an intimate civil ceremony at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall . They later hosted a lavish second wedding celebration in Palermo, Sicily, with approximately 300 guests, where Elton John performed and a star-studded guest list included Donatella Versace, Charli XCX, and Mark Ronson .
