About the Hotel
The south of Italy is home to some of the country's great treasures, but few can match the comfortable surroundings of Il Melograno, a Relais & Chateaux property exquisitely in tune with its breathtaking surroundings. Nestled among ancient olive trees that provide the hotel's kitchen with its unique oil, Il Melograno offers a rich array of flavors that inspire all the senses just minutes from the shores of the Adriatic Sea. Building on its 16th-century heritage as an august farmhouse in a region known as "the land of wine," Il Melograno recently received an impeccable restoration to unite its old world charms with modern amenities and comforts. The result is an intimate southern Italian retreat with a personal attention to detail that makes you feel right at home. Take advantage of the hotel's private beach club, Le Tamerici, with its large sandy beach as an ideal place to spend a day by the sea. For the spa-minded guest, choose from a number of amenities at the 5000-square foot facility, which includes a gym and specialized Italian massages and treatments. The exclusive relationship between the spa and French cosmetics house Orlane, delivers the pampering you deserve.

Reviews for Il Melograno
Outstanding
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

Impressive hotel in a countryside setting.
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.

Disappointing!
The unfriendly staff here ruined iur stay. From the moment we arrived, everyone was sour and impatient, a real disappointment and so unusual for Italy. Food was ordinary and the bar closed much too early. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Perfect Couple Massage at Il Melograno
We had a couple massage at Il Melograno, and it was an unforgettable experience. Vanessa and Miriam took care of us with great professionalism and kindness. They first asked about our preferences (pressure, focus areas, and zones to avoid), which made the treatment feel very personal. The atmosphere was perfect: everything was spotless, the music and scents were beautifully chosen, and the whole environment was calm and welcoming. The massage itself was deeply relaxing — we left feeling completely refreshed and peaceful. A big thank you to Vanessa and Miriam for making this such a special part of our stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Il Melograno!

Nice but not five stars
Nice but not five stars (as claimed). Hotel needs to improve its maintenance as some areas are neglected and worn, such as a stains on the pool walls, bedroom doors which let in light and insects, dirty areas... The staff are generally friendly but need better training. The breakfast buffet is an uncontrolled "feeding zone" where children are allowed to pick the food with their hands, breath/cough over the food, with staff not intervening, not to mention kids reeking havoc at all hours and yelling everywhere! This place would benefit from being 'adults only'.

Delightful hotel property, a fitting member of Relais and Chateaux. The rooms are large and exquisite, the grounds beautiful (with pomegranates growing in abundance), and the pool a delight. The food is the usual high standard of the Relais and Chateaux group. All in all, a delightful experience.
