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

Perfect spot for sitting under the flowering trees in... More

The grounds... More

Where's Puglia, people said quizzically, when I decided to get out of London for an autumn break. Now home, I'm wondering that myself, Where is Puglia, Why aren't I still there, I want to go back. It's the Salente Salentino, so luscious and smooth it beats all the French red wines. It's the ever so sweet, bright red tomatoes served... More
