The structure, dedicated in the past mainly to olive growing, is equipped with a large mill that is still working and where high quality extra virgin olive oil is produced. The Masseria, completely renovated, now houses a country chic farmhouse, the oil and peasant life museum of Puglia, the restaurant, the swimming pool, relaxation areas and villas for the guests of the structure.

Il Melograno is a Masseria just outside Monopoli. Today a 5-star luxury establishment, the structure was founded in the 16th century as a Masseria Fortificata in Puglia by order of the Knights of Malta. It took the name of Masseria La Torricella precisely because of its fortified tower structure. A structure immersed in the typical Apulian countryside, among olive groves, citrus groves and local specialities. Today it hosts, in addition to the wonderful suites, restaurant, swimming pool and a SPA.

Dating back to the 1500s it was a Roman site, a control post. The Masseria was also a resting place on the road that connected Otranto to Gallipoli and for the pilgrims who went to Santa Maria di Leuca or from Salento to San Michele in Gargano.
