Il Melograno

A truly special experience at Il Melograno, Monopoli The hotel is simply stunning - a large and beautiful estate with only a small number of rooms, which makes you feel as if the entire place is yours. Everything is spotless, peaceful, and incredibly charming. The food is great, with a rich breakfast, and also the restaurant for dinner was very good! The service was excellent and very personal. A special thanks to Alessandra, who hosted a wonderful cooking class for us. She was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable - she truly taught us the art of cooking! It was such a lovely and unique experience to prepare, bake, and even take home what we made, along with the recipe as a keepsake 😉. Alessandra also gave us great local recommendations that made our stay even better. We truly loved every moment and will definitely come back!

Book it! We had a fabulous time at hotel Il Melograno. The grounds are stunningly beautiful, whitewashed and dotted with ancient olive trees and other fruit trees. The staff is warm and welcoming. The rooms are comfortable, roomy and well appointed with quality linens and luxury bath products. Your room will be restocked daily with nespresso pods and your choice of water, still or sparkling. The air conditioning was sufficient for the hot and dry climate. There are plenty of beautiful places to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail. The food was noteworthy. The daily breakfast was executed with the care and skill of a fine dining restaurant. It exceeded our expectations every day. The restaurant and bar were equally impressive. These were some of the best meals that we had during our stay in Puglia. I would not hesitate to recommend Il Melograno to friends and family.

Amazing hotel in the countryside ten minutes drive from Monopoli. Due to the location of the hotel we rented a car from Bari airport for our stay. Should you wish to travel outside of the hotel and explore the surrounding areas a car is essential. The hotel is beautiful and quite unique with numerous olive trees in the grounds. The room was spacious and very nicely furnished with a comfortable bed, the bathroom was large with an amazing shower and double wash basins. the indoor pool was very impressive as was the outdoor one. The grounds are quite extensive and good for a stroll around after dining. The hotel staff were always polite, friendly and helpful. Monopoli old town is very traditional lovely Italian with numerous restaurants and bars. We found II Melograno to be a beautiful and extremely comfortable hotel and would certainly return.

From the moment we checked into Il Melograno for the first part of our honeymoon we felt totally relaxed, pampered, and at home. It all starts with the ladies at the reception desk - Alessandra, Cosmara, and Maria - who are so helpful with recommending day trips, restaurants in the area, and arranging anything you could need from spa treatments to wine tastings. They are so kind, welcoming and happy to see you each time you pass by. Each morning and afternoon we had such good meals with the best service from Oscar, who was always happy to see us and help us to learn Italian. His service was spectacular and he was so attentive to us, even if we weren’t sitting down to eat he came by to say hello and ask if we needed anything. The sommelier at Il Melograno, Nicola, is so knowledgeable of wine and happy to speak in depth to help you find what you like. Nicola was fun and friendly to talk with and was even kind enough to offer us a special tasting of a phenomenal Cabernet. At the spa, Miriam and her partner created a very relaxing atmosphere which is exactly what we needed after traveling for 20+ hours. Our massages and time in the steam room and sauna left us feeling rejuvenated and got us in the perfect mindset to begin our honeymoon. Lastly, we really enjoyed our time at the bar with the bartender, Massimo. Since the weather was slightly cold with some rain the first two days, we spent time inside and Massimo was so friendly and fun to be around. He is a bartender I would love to have back in the USA! As with everyone else, he was so helpful to recommend things in the area as well as patient with us as we practiced our Italian language phrases. We would highly recommend everyone to stay at Il Melograno and we are so happy we found this place to begin our trip around Puglia. We truly did not want to leave when it was time to check out. You will not regret your stay here, and we cannot wait to come back!

I highly recommend this gorgeous resort. The staff is phenomenal and the restaurant is sensational. My wife and I rate their restaurant as #1 during our two week vacation. Our concierge, Alexandra was exceptional. This is a must stay if you’re in Puglia near the coast. Close to the Trulli and other special spots

Lovely 2 night stay in this hotel in the olives groves outside Monopoli...The hotel room was nice and very comfortable, service was excellent. The restaurant was the best dinner meal we had during our trip in Italy. Pool was really nice! The challenge with the property is that it is a bit worn out and needs updating and refurbishing especially in the outdoor spaces.

We had a couple massage at Il Melograno and it was absolutely perfect. Vanessa and Miriam took great care of us, first asking about our preferences for pressure and focus areas, which made it feel very personal. The spa was spotless, the music and scents were calming, and the massage itself was super relaxing. We left feeling completely refreshed. Highly recommend booking a treatment here!

We just completed our stay along with our friends at Il Melograno and it was superb. From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted, every request was met quickly and with care by the front desk and manager, and the property is beyond picturesque. Alessandra, who handled excursions and restaurant reservations not only went above and beyond to provide a unique and tailor-made itinerary for us, but understood our preferences, anticipated our needs and has impeccable taste. We were thrilled with her service and kindness and the entire staff at the masseria. We highly recommend Il Melograno to all travelers!
