Il Melograno Hotel

Un endroit magique. Tout était parfait. Le personnel, le restaurant, le spa. Mérite largement 5 étoiles. Petit déjeuner très varié au bord de la piscine. Arrivée à 15h et départ à 11h. Un cadre de verdure reposant. Allez-y sans hésiter. Le mobilier a été conservé. Très belle décoration.

The location is a bit out of town - so probably not a top choice for beachy people or those wanting a walkable downtown experience, but if that's not your vibe, then it's outstanding! Beautiful grounds with hundreds-of-years-old olive trees. Quiet, peaceful serenity. Easy, free, secure parking. Large, comfortable rooms. And, then there's the food . . . top notch! A really nice breakfast with many delicious choices, plus a cook to order menu. The dinner restaurant is so professional and outstanding. Our wine steward, in particular, was very knowledgable and helped us choose a phenomenal wine, without "upselling". This masseria was one of our favorite stays during our trip to Puglia.

Purports to be a 5 star hotel but not in any way one would expect. There are absolutely no frills . Only liquid dispensers in bathrooms. No cotton wool , cotton buds , nail accessories etc. No chocolate or small snack at turndown. 3 tiny packets of snacks on arrival. Service minimal without a smile. Solid 3 star. No value for money charged .
