Hotel Il Melograno is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy, near Bari, in the southern Adriatic Coast. A region with a lot of Greek influence from past centuries. For example, in Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca, the houses have Trullis: stone cone structures on the roof that look like white huts. They still use them because it makes the house cooler. Hotel Il Melograno means Grenade, like the fruit, the property was given this name because there are fruit trees all over, not only grenades, also fichi d’India (prickly pear), lemons, oranges, etc. and many centuries old olive trees; one in particular next to the restaurant, is 2050 years old and still gives olives! The rooms and suites in Il Melograno are of high standard, all very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The building is comprised of two parts: the 17th century Masseria (fortified farm house) and what they call the new wing, all so well integrated that you don’t notice a difference.
