WE LOVE IT FOR

Authentic aristocratic Masseria experience, ancient Olive trees, original Chianca stone floors.

INTRODUCTION 

Echoing the vestiges of this iconic estate and its history, each Deluxe Room follows the chief architectural rule of simplicity, finished with sprays of colour inspired by Bougainvillea and ancient olive trees, both an integral feature at Il Melograno. Complete with comforts of modern living, powder white walls and double-panelled cottage windows, guests will wake from a restful night’s sleep, greeted in a warm embrace by the Puglian sunshine each morning.  

ROOM TYPES

Deluxe Room

Restrained elegance and modern-living comforts, the Deluxe Room carries shards of history and a reminder that this exquisite Masseria was once home to a noble aristocratic family. From the door and brass fittings to the ornate church antiques and reclaimed white Chianca stone tiles, each feature and each detail has been carefully thought-through to offer guests a true and authentic Apulian experience in this estate. Rooms are spacious with glass windows capturing sunlight from all angles. Amenities include a spacious bathtub and shower, air-conditioning/heating, a safe for your valuable personal belongings, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a minibar, Espresso maker and a hairdryer. 

SHARED SPACES

Il Melograno provides the ideal opportunity for guests to engage with one another in a range of communal spaces open to guests across their stay. Shared spaces include the kitchen gardens, centenary olive groves, wellness centre, spa room, tennis and paddle court, outdoor swimming pool, indoor heated pool, citrus groves, restaurant, wine bar, members-only beach club and helipad. Relearn the art of companionship and connecting with different characters before going home with new and fruitful friendships. 

FOOD & CUISINE

The chefs of the restaurant at Il Melograno follow the mantra of: “if it’s not fresh, it is not on the menu”, which is why each dish is only made from organic produce sourced from its rich soil gardens but the menu itself changes daily to integrate seasonality plus originality. Serving a rightful riot of colour, scents and flavours of supreme freshness, feel nourished and indulge in a true Puglian cuisine with meals enjoyed in the rustic styled Apulian veranda, overlooking the scenic outdoors of the estate pool, citrus groves and Bougainvillea draped along the white-stucco walls. 

THE AMBIENCE

Meeting the exacting standards for a quiet and undisturbed escape from the autonomous lifestyle in the city, Il Melograno creates energy of renewed Zeal and redefined sense of self for guests throughout the course of their stay. Right at the seafront with the crystal waters of the Adriatic Sea coupled with the soft-sand beach a short breath away, feel at home away from home indulging in nothing but relaxation. Awaken the senses and let tensions and anxieties naturally seep away with the aromatic fragrances of aged olive trees and citrus groves and the land’s iconic bloom, the Bougainvillea.
