Il Melograno

A converted 17th century masseria set in an ancient olive grove in Puglia

White walls traced with climbing vines and bright blossoms. Rustic stone courtyards dotted with antique chairs and tables. Centuries-old olive trees reaching up to a deep blue sky. Everywhere you turn at Il Melograno, there’s another photo opportunity. As well as being impossibly good looking, this boutique hotel immerses you in the heritage and culture of Puglia.

With its outdoor pool and serene spa, Il Melograno is every inch the contemporary Italian retreat. Yet its circling walls hint at its past as a masseria: a fortified farmhouse used to protect Puglia’s rich produce from Saracens. Today, the gates are open and the tables are set with local delicacies – the chefs using many ingredients grown in the hotel’s own kitchen garden. This fusion of past and present continues in the guest rooms, where white walls become a sleek canvas for antique furnishings and original artwork.

Beautiful 2 days at Il Melograno!

We spent 2 amazing days here! It is a beautiful hotel, well kept, in a excellent location, 5 minutes from Monopoli town! The room was beautiful with a view of the garden full of olives trees! Big pool! Great breakfast! Great Service!

Relaxing but our stay was too short. Great base for first visit to Puglia.

The cocktails, the staff, the shuttle bus to the beach and sister hotel, help with places to visit.

Delightful 400 year old Masseria

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Il Melograma and especially loved its convenient location to the area’s sights not least being only a few minutes from the wonders of Monopoli. Our junior suite was very generous in size, had a sun baked terrace, well furnished including with Read more[SPLIT]Read lesstwo bathrooms and probably the best showers of our near one month in the region. The room was also equipped with a fabulous coffee machine and missed nothing apart from an iron! Service was generally excellent from reception’s Ilenia to the pool guard and housekeeping really outstanding including a comprehensive turn down service. Breakfast was included in our stay and was again fabulous. In addition to a generous buffet, fresh juices, machine coffee and eggs/bacon were available to order at no further costs. Iliaria at the breakfast service was incredibly charming and obliging. Unfortunately the male servers at breakfast were too often arrogantly unhelpful and should take a leaf out of their female colleagues. In my view the masseria offers great value and we would unhesitatingly return and recommend.

Food And Drinks

With tables dotted in shaded archways beside the pool and in sun-soaked courtyards, eat Apulian specialities while drinking in your surroundings. At Mùmmulo Restaurant, a beautiful central gallery opening onto the roots of an olive tree brings the outside in. Hotel-produced extra-virgin olive oil features on the menu, as do herbs and vegetables from the hotel garden. If you want a taste of authentic, local Apulian cooking, you’ll find it at Il Melograno.

Mummulo

Mummulo represents the traditions of Puglia. Named for the clay vessel that holds fresh water for those working in sun scorched fields- which is a vivid symbol of the Masseria s history. A dining verandah is finished in an Apulian rustic style- it overlooks our pool and citrus groves. Seasonality is the restaurant mantra. Each morning Mummulo s kitchen is a riot of colour and fresh aromas as local farmers and artisans bring their produce to the door.
