Il Melograno was a perfect base for our week in the Salento. A reliable car and an accurate GP S are must-haves in the region, but armed with those, , we cannot imagine a better place to stay in the area. It is very close to Lecce, and less than one hour from anywhere else you might wish to see in that region. The pool is spectacular as well, especially after an August afternoon in Puglia! The real treasure of Il Melograno is your host Alessandro and his family! His responses were kind, quick, and effective. His father was also extremely kind-he even greeted us one evening with a platter of fresh figs from the garden and a bottle of wine! It took us a long time to decide on a place to stay in Puglia, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out at Il Melograno!
