Il Melograno  

In a sun-soaked olive grove between Puglia’s rolling hills and the blue Adriatic, a 5-star luxury masseria sits just 4–5 km from Monopoli. Close to Parco Belvedere Lama, local churches and the old town, it’s a stylish base for beach days and coastal exploring. Pet-friendly and boutique-luxe, it’s an easy drive from Bari and Brindisi airports.

This fortified 17th-century masseria shows classic Apulian white stone, centuries-old olive groves, bougainvillea and citrus gardens. About 40 air-conditioned rooms feature minibars, safes, private bathrooms with bidets, bathrobes and slippers, plus modern comforts like complimentary Wi‑Fi and satellite TV. The vibe is calm and Mediterranean with spa-ready bathrooms and a warm fireplace in the lobby.

Soak in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind at the wellness centre with massages, sauna and steam bath, or keep fit in the gym, yoga area and outdoor tennis courts. There’s a private beach with a complimentary shuttle, a diving club, poolside bar and a library and picnic areas—wake up to olive-scented mornings and Adriatic breezes.

Conference space and meeting rooms, a 24-hour front desk, concierge services and complimentary Wi‑Fi make the property business-ready; airport and train shuttles are available on request.

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, backed by a café, bar and poolside service. 24-hour room service and coffee options keep things easy after long days of sightseeing.
