There was a time when staying in a hotel in the Relais & Chateau chain guaranteed a level of excellence, sadly this is no longer the case. I'm sure that this hotel was superb 10 years ago, but it has fallen far behind the standard we've come to expect for a 5* hotel, and is a long way behind the... More

It is a 5 star hotel, isolated (you need a car) in a huge area, with a beautiful garden. The place is very nice, silent, and the accommodations are very luxurious. The ambient is very luxurious, the staff very efficient, the food very good, there is two swimming pool for relax. It is a perfect place for a romantic stay.... More

Rooms are well equipped and spacious,and general ambiance is very comfortable. Grounds and gardens well kept but not too formal, with many1000 year old olive trees and of course a number of pomegranite and citrus fruit trees. Had our own secluded outside patio which was very pleasant. Outdoor pool well maintained, and indoor pool available in Spa centre, looked nice... More

This Relais Chateux property in Puglia is stunning. The rooms are elegant. The pool is peaceful and inviting. We stayed two nights on a backroads bike trip and hated to leave. The property is full of pomegranate trees, olive trees, and they make their own olive oil. Excellent food. Loved it!

the staff is extremely nice and helpful. The rooms are nice but quite expensive but if youlike old fashioned style it's ok. for computer freaks no wifi and televisions vary in quality. The grounds are nicely maintained but seemed to have known better times. The pool and spa are ok but also a bit out dated. Chateau relaix places tend... More

I have meant to submit a review for some time and so I am quite late, but never the less, better late than never. jr_hummel, a previous reviewer, called it a fortified farm turned luxury hotel and that it is. I was so impressed with the facilities, the rooms, restaurant and of course the first class personal service we received.... More

A historic fortified farmhouse beautifully decorated hidden in olive groves..... At the end of the day after exploring Puglia you return to your comfortable accommodations, have a dip in the pool, enjoy excellent food and curteous service

You can't do better than Il Melograno for exploring Puglia...that is if you can tear yourself away from the beautiful grounds. The property is meticulously maintained, the restaurant overlooking the pool serves excellent food with dishes typical of the Puglia region and the staff – always attentive and available for whatever you may need. The rooms are spacious and immaculate... More

To fully appreciate Il Melograno you need to keep in mind that this Italian region of Puglia is a huge field of olive trees. For historical reasons fortified farmhouses were built in the 17th century (“masseria”) and a number of them have been turned into B&Bs or hotels. Il Melograno is certainly one of the most luxurious ones and part... More
