In a little known corner of Italy, once part of Magna Graecia, rich in history and architecture and blessed with a tradition of fine cuisine, you will find Hotel Il Melograno: a 17th century "Masseria" or fortified farmhouse built originally as a defense against Saracen and Byzantine invaders.

Each of the 31 Rooms and 6 Suites nestled around the central piazza has been individually furnished with antiques under the care of the owner Camillo Guerra, an art and antique dealer. All of the rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV, security safe and mini bar. Some have an individual patio and Jacuzzi.
