Il Melograno is an authentic Apulian country residence dating back to the 17th century surrounded by ancient olive trees. It is renowned to be the first Masseria in Italy to host guests, unveiling the secrets of 400 years of history. The rooms are decorated in the authentic style featuring wooden shutters, antique floors and furnishings with classic charm. The Suites have private patio or a terrace and the historic courtyard. The restaurant Mummulo is named after the clay container used to store fresh water which farmers in the Puglia region used to quench their thirst during the summer. The Chef proposes dishes from the traditional Apulian cuisine, reinterpreted with a modern twist. In the summer months, a shuttle service takes guests to the hotel’s Tamerici Beach Club in just ten minutes. A cozy cocktail bar and comfortable white sofas on the terrace welcome guests for a relaxing day beside the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. Take part in Apulian wine tastings, cooking classes and olive oil tastings. Best Spa: swim in the beautiful, spacious heated indoor pool before choosing from one of the many treatments proposed by the Fusion Spa. The rituals are inspired by local plants and oils such as olive oil, grape seed oil and almond mixed with pomegranate, citrus fruits, medicinal plants, aromatic flowers and natural essences.
