Il Melograno

Beautiful, tranquil setting surround by magnificent olive trees and close to things you want to do when staying in the area. Friendly staff attracted friendly guests. Some people stayed and relaxed in the hotel pools, spa and soaked up the Puglia sun in late October. Hotel was completely booked and we expected a mad house of activity. Rooms are spaciously set apart and enjoyed a quiet environment.

Fantastic setting, location - great location.

Great staff, accommodating and very ready to help!

Large hotel makes us realize we prefer a smaller, more intimate establishments. Crummy lunch didn’t help. Pretentious vibes.

Lovely stay at Il Melograno, staff, service and food excellent. Beautiful setting..Hope to be back someday.

very good food at restaurant very good service at front desk Need a car!

Beautiful property with excellent service!

AC didnt work well. Small ants in room.

Superb 5 star facility in every aspect. Luxury from start to finish absolutely faultless.

The hotel was what we needed. It had the basics and the staff was dependable. It was a great value for the price.

Stunning property, breakfast was great. Staff and service were frustratingly inefficient. We kept having to hunt them down for things like towels at the pool or to order drinks, etc...

My wife and I stayed for only four nights as we had limited time for our holiday; however, we felt as if we had enjoyed a far longer break. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the option to head off to the beach club for a change of scenery and to the superb 'Saleblu' restaurant for a dinner at the water's edge. A truly memorable experience, not to be missed.

Central (rent a car), Breakfast, turn down service, pool, spa, grounds, sun, service. Coming back for more!

Superb masseria in the countryside. Excellent facilities and food. Very comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Really enjoyed our all too short stay.

Really lovely masseria, beautiful grounds with a lovely pool. You can also go to their sister hotel on the beach. The breakfast was really good and the location is great.. we drove straight from Bari airport. Lots of things to see around - highlights include Alberobello & Polignano a Mare. I would highly recommend this hotel & will definitely come back.

nice room, walls very thin you can hear the people next door and room above, I mean you could hear every thing they were doing!!! guests wear allowed to smoke in restaurant?? not another staff in restaurant long wait just to take your order

We booked the Melograno at the last minute, after Rome airport was closed due to fire and managing to secure a flight to Bari. From the moment we arrived, when the porter who was just leaving for the night turned his car round to come back into the hotel grounds and help us with our bags, the Melograno was just fantastic. It really is a quiet and beautiful location - the staff could not do enough to help us, recommending places to look at from the nearby (and it is really ideally located to visit Alberobello) to Lecce (just under an hour drive, but well worth seeing - we spent a whole day there and plan to go back for more) and even though there were two events happening in the banqueting areas, we were undisturbed.

Comfortable, clean and pleasant, in a nice setting, staff welcoming and helpful but overall experience could have been so much better Room design very poor. Junior suite but large corridor area adjoining bedroom with spacious bathroom and tiny sitting room completely wasted space. Shower area unlit so showered in the dark. Beds pleasant and clean but only very basic construction and mattress hard. Restaurant menu unchanged all week aside from fish of the day, with a complete absence of the vegetable variety clearly available in a rural area and seen in local markets. So OK but not at this price!!

This not so much a hotel as a small and very intimate village amongst centuries old olive groves. Few rooms, each very spacious and well articulated. Large and varied complex of interesting spaces, with many different views, all filled with flowering bushes, olive and other fruit trees (many of which pomegranates, hence the name). Few staff but impeccable service that is formal yet friendly, with the particular quality of the people of Puglia that is warm but not overly familiar. The restaurant is top class with the specialities of the region as well as its own innovations and the breakfasts are worth getting up for. During our stay, the clientele appeared (with one exception) to be as discreet and pleasant as the surroundings. As of this summer, new management has taken over so one wonders whether the 6 partners from the North (Genova) will maintain the current level of charm and elegance. The place will shut this winter until Easter time with the stated objective or doing a major renovation. While there are certainly parts of "Il Melograno" that can benefit from some improvement, it would be unfortunate if the end result will be much more commercial. Giving the new team the benefit of the doubt, I have already recommended it to several friends. All of my family thought our week-long stay worth their time.

Peace and tranquility abound in this hotel situated on a masseria which still produces its own olive oil. The grounds are exceptionally large and contain a wonderful pool and two tennis courts. Breakfast is served on the terrace next to the pool and is a generous feast of fresh fruit, ham, cheese and home made pastries. Staff are professional and friendly. The hotel has its own beach a few miles away. This is well equipped with loungers and umbrellas but is rather rocky and windswept. There are several well furnished lounges and a large courtyard to enjoy an aperitif in the evening. The nearby town of Monopoli has a lovely old town and lots of restaurants and the all important gelateria. The hotel has plans to build a conference centre and host events such as weddings, hope it doesn't lose its charm in the process.
