Superb place for couples and small families
Paola and her dad are fabulous hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and the quality of information and communication is outstanding. The accommodation is spacious, well appointed and has everything you could possibly want - it was spotless. We loved that we had our own little garden area and terrace and that the pool was just a few steps away and, again, beautifully maintained and looked after. It's clear that the hosts take a lot of pride in the work that they do to make your stay the best it can be. We were given great recommendations pf places to eat, visit and other support for taxi's Covid tests and so on. We'll definitely be returning again! Thanks Poala and Calos!

Lovely stay in great location
We had a fantastic stay here, the pool was great and was never crowded. With COVID you got dedicated loungers which was a good idea. The area is lovely with a bakery just around the corner a a few really nice restaurants within a 20 min walk (or couple of mins drive). There’s plenty to see and do further too (we did a day trip to Florence easily from here). The accommodation was also very nice and stayed cool in the hot weather. Cons - only a couple of little ones, the pillows were not very comfortable and we sometimes got woken up early in the morning by the sprinklers, but these would not put me off coming again as everything else was perfect.

Wonderful for relaxing the day away
The property is beautiful and the room was perfectly clean and maintained. The host was very attentive providing us with information to visit other towns in the area. We enjoyed the pool area a lot as our vacation was based mostly on relaxation however there is many opportunities to visit the local towns and attractions within a short drive. Gallicano has several restaurants within walking distance of this location which we enjoyed and the locals are very friendly.

Best of the best
This was our second time at Il Melograno, the last time we stayed it was fantastic, this time it was even better! All the rooms now have air con, their own kitchen and their own dining area in the lovely, well kept gardens. Each room also has wifi which is also accessible in the dining areas and by the gorgeous pool. Paula, Carlo and Loretta will cater for your every need. We stayed 10 nights and only shared the pool twice throughout our stay as most people are out and about. If you stay here you have to visit the leaning tower! Less than an hours drive so no excuse not to and boy does that tower lean!!! There is plenty of parking at the property for cars and bikes and the bikes are usually kept inside a secured fence. The gardens are maintained by Robert (the robot), it is a mechanical robot that cuts all 3 lawns throughout the day but don't worry, it doesn't bite. I would recommend for adults but they also cater for children too. This is not the number 1 place to stay in Lucca, it is the number 1 place to stay in Italy!! We look forward to seeing you all again soon Carlo. Jason and Viola. X

Beau séjour dans la montagne toscane
Les prestations sont très bien : équipements, propreté, literie, etc. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour avec ma femme et ma fille. De plus, Paola nous a très bien reçu et conseillé. Chose à savoir quant à la localisation : les gros points touristiques tels que Pise ou Florence sont un peu éloignés car il faut déjà une bonne demi heure pour descendre de la montagne et arriver à Lucca.

Tolle ruhige sehr gepflegte Anlage
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.Paola war immer einer wunderbare Gastgeberin zuvorkommend und konnte uns super Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflugsziele (See) geben.Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Der Pool ist zwischen 9-19 Uhr geöffnet und groß genug zum schwimmen . Man benötigt aber unbedingt ein Auto und viel Zeit um die wunderbaren Sehenswürdigkeiten (Pisa/Lucca/Florenz)zu entdecken.
