Il Melograno was realised in a fortified farmhouse of the 17th century furnished in style with old handcrafted carpets and paintings. With its typical architecture of Mediterranean constructions wrapped by the scents and colours of the big flowered garden, fits perfectly with the territory and beautiful landscape which surrounds it. Staying at Il Melograno is an ideal location to enjoy both sea and countryside, and put the guest at the centre of Puglia’s marvellous historic sights. The private beach club, the Tamerici, and boutique sister hotel, La Peschiera, are a ten minute drive from Il Melograno, both fringed by a delightful stretch of sea. The historic fishing town of Monopoli is minutes away as are the many sights of Puglia: the cliffs of Polignano a Mare, the grottoes at Castellaneta, the famous Trulli homes at Alberobello and the Roman ruins of Egnazia, on the Appian Way. Il Melograno is equidistant to Puglia’s airports at Bari and Brindisi, which in turn are connected all over Italy, from Milan and Rome, and to major European capitals. A private transport can bring the guest from the airport to this Apulian country estate in 40 or 50 minutes. There's also the helipad for easy private access.
