schönes altertümliches Anwesen

Wer den rustikalen Wohnstil liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Das Areal ist abgelegen, so dass es auch keinen Nachbarn stört, wenn es mal etwas lauter wird. Großzügiges Bauernhaus mit gesamt 4 Küchen. Teilweise müssen sich die Zimmer die Bäder teilen. Wir sind mit 25 Personen angereist, darunter 4 Kinder. Hier konnte man sich auch, wenn man es wollte, gut aus dem Weg gehen. Bei Fragen/Problemen war die Eigentümerin immer sofort vor Ort und bemüht eine Lösung zu finden. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt.

Ein Traum

Unser Aufenthalt in einer Gruppe von 20 Personal, alles Familien mit Kindern war wirklich sehr erholsame. Die Zimmer waren schön eingerichtet und sauber. Die Kinder und die Erwachsenen hattten auf dem Grundstücke genug Platz um gemeinsame zu verweilen oder auch sich zurück zu ziehn. Ein toller Pool, guter Zufahrtsweg und der Strand nur 20 Minuten mit dem Auto haben den Aufenthalt abgerundet. Der Gastgeber und seine Frau waren sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und haben uns bei der Planung der Ausflugsziele super unterstützt. Wir können wirklich alle diese Villa empfehlen. Vielen lieben Dank noch mal für die schöne Zeit bei Ihnen.

Italy’s Hidden Gem

This property is one of a kind and Daniel, the property owner, is a magnificent host. I was there with three other families (16 people in total) and because of the organized layout, we never felt crowded. The kitchen and outdoor eating space are great for meal planning, cooking and of course eating. The pool and the surrounding area are simply amazing with stunning views of the Italian countryside. They are perfect for children and adults alike. If beaches are something you like, Porto San Giorgio is only 20 minutes away with beach and restaurants fit for any style. Daniel did an amazing job of helping to plan our meals and excursions. He often suggested towns, restaurants, shops and special events to ensure we were immersed in the culture of the region. He even helped plan a special birthday party for one of the young girls in our group. In short, we are already planning our next trip back!

Wedding and vacation

We stayed at Il Melograno with our kids, parents and sisters and brothers. The house, the garden and the pool area was perfect for us. Enough space for everyone, clean house and clean poolarea. If any problems, Daniel came to help us right away. Daniel and his family is kind and helpful, and they arranged a perfect weddingday for us. Ceremony, flowers, tables, food, wine, weddingcake, everything was perfect. We had dinner at the house three nights and we recommend the local food and wine, really good. Thank you Daniel,and thanks to your family, for your kindness and service. I hope to be back some day. Sulla riunione.

Soggiorno magnifico!

Il nostro soggiorno presso l’agriturismo Melograno è stato molto piacevole, il proprietario Daniel è stato molto disponibile con noi. Le camere sono accoglienti e pulite, il fienile è molto spazioso e perfetto per grandi compagnie. Unica pecca, il fienile è riscaldato solo da una piccola stufa, quindi in inverno rimane freddo. Per il resto, tutto impeccabile!

Stunning farmhouse villa in beautiful surroundings!

We chose Il Melograno as holiday accommodation for our party of 3 families - it was more than ample for our group of 13 with plenty of space inside and out. The pool is on lovely hilltop location with great views and we were most impressed with the sun beds with individual shades! No messing about with umbrellas here. The terrace was lovely for lunches and evening meals and we enjoyed using the BBQ many times. The children enjoyed the table tennis and loved seeing the peacocks roam around and looking at wildlife and fish in the ponds. Daniel and Candy are excellent hosts, on hand to help with booking restaurants and giving advice on local attractions. We has a small problem with a broken bathroom lock, which Daniel sorted out straight away for us. We enjoyed a fabulous home cooked meal during our stay, made with delicious local ingredients - a lovely evening was had by all. The house is in a great location, close to a large supermarket and smaller amenities like a chemist, deli and small takeaway restaurant which we used a few times. The nearby town Fermo is worth a visit, with a charming evening market and lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. There is a beautiful beach at Porto San Giorgio which is only a 20 min drive away. We had a wonderful stay at Il Melograno and would definitely recommend to others booking a large group holiday. Thank you very much Daniel & Candy!

A delightful holiday villa in a beautiful situation

Il Melograno was a perfect venue for our large family party of nine adults and ten children, aged between two and fourteen. Daniel and Candida were very helpful, and their children were charming. The pool was lovely and the children had a wonderful time, but there were also lots of quiet outside spaces, where others could read, paint or catch up on emails. The terrace was ideal for large family meals with an excellent built in barbecue. We had a marvellous holiday and would certainly recommend this villa to others. Susie

Bezaubernde Villa in den Marken nahe dem Meer

Die Lage der Villa ist wunderschön, sie liegt ruhig und man schaut auf die sanften Hügel der Umgebung. Das Haus , ursprünglich ein typisches Bauernhaus, wurde liebevoll restauriert und die Schlafzimmer sind geschmackvoll teils mit antiken Möbeln eingerichtet. Da wir fast nur sonnige Tage hatten, genossen wir all die vielen Terrassen und kleinen Fischteiche, die sich über das riesige Grundstück verteilen. Wir mieten schon seit vielen Jahren in Europa große Häuser für unsere Familientreffen - dies ist vor allem wegen des wunderbaren, parkähnlichen Gartens und wegen der reizenden und hilfsbereiten Familie Jennings - eines der schönsten Häuser die wir kennen. Die Adria mit den Sandstränden ist in etwa 20 Minuten zu erreichen und war im Juni nicht überlaufen. Allen Familienmitgliedern hat die Villa Pommegranate so gut gefallen, dass sie gerne wieder einmal hierherkommen möchten.

Perfect wedding and family holiday

Where to start, we got married in Ponzano Di Fermo and had our reception at the villa. Everything Daniel & Candi organised was absolutely perfect, the villa is beautiful and very authentic, exactly what we wanted for our special day. Our family had an amazing time at the villa, the pool area is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you again to Daniel & Candi, you both exceeded our expectations and we are very grateful for everything.

Beautiful setting for our golden wedding

We had a lovely 2 week holiday at ll Melograno. We are a family of 20 with ages ranging from 2 to 72 and all of us had a fantastic time. The villa was perfect for us and the surrounding countryside very peaceful with magnificent views especially from the pool. Candi and Daniel prepared and served a delicious meal for us on our golden wedding anniversary, it was a perfect evening and one we will all remember. Thank you

Beautifully restored complex

We gathered at Ill Melograno to celebrate the wedding of our son James to Laura. It was a perfect venue set in beautiful gardens. The villa was great. The rooms upstairs were well appointed and all ensuite which was perfect. There was plenty of space downstairs for a large group to relax and mix together. There was a large kitchen with large table and chairs. Outside had two large covered areas won't enough seating for all. On arrival we were greeted by Daniel and provided with a wonderful meal. We had elected for Daniel and Candy to provide breakfast each day and they were great plenty of choice and Daniel was on hand to provide anything that was needed. Daniel was the perfect host very helpful without being obtrusive. He engaged everybody in conversation. The wedding meal was absolutely wonderful and was enjoyed by all. Daniel and Candy have done a superb job of renovating the property into a beautiful and restful place. The views were stunning and it was perfect for the wedding. The general consensus was that we all wished we were staying longer. I would wholeheartedly recommmed Ill Melograno to anybody looking for a large villa to hold an event. Thank you Daniel and Candy for a wonderful stay in your beautiful property. Brian and Carol Lattimer

Semplicemente perfetta

La casa è veramente bellissima, dotata di tutti i confort e con tantissimi spazi dove stare tutti insieme. La posizione è stupenda, isolata ma comoda sia al mare che alle vicine città d'arte, sembra di essere in un piccolo paradiso, c'è un panorama incantevole. Per non parlare dei padroni di casa, gentilissimi e molto disponibili a tutte le ore, ci hanno accolti con una torta e coccolati con dolci e fichi, veramente persone squisite. In poche parole consigliatissima. Fausta

An original og authentic accomodation

We (5 Danish families - 10 yongsters og 10 grown ups) spent the most fantastic summer holiday week at Il Melograna. The picures of the place and its surroundings don´t lie. On the opposite! We found a very special kind of place hidden away on the top of a hill with panoramic view. Obviously, Candy and Daniel have put a lot of energy in making a home for their family and a very authentic accomodation for their guests. Every little detail in the house, the garden and the pool area is thought through with great love and passion for Marche and for the landscape and culture around Il Melograna. The hosts were just "our kind of people": always nearby to help, come up with ideas as what to visit and where to eat. Twice during the week we enjoyed Candy´s excellent Italian cooking skills and Daniels good choices of local wines. If you expect functionality, you will be dissapointed. Il Melograna is renowated, furnished and equipped with a love old and original materials. Except for the bed matresses we found that very charming! Il Melograna is the perfect place if you want to experience the Italian way of life in a part of Italy not very well-known to Northern Europeans. There was plenty of room, hang-outs and "hiding places" for everyone. Beach is only 20 minutes drive away. But we never got to see that much, because everything we nedded was all at Il Melograna!

What a stunning farmhouse set in the rolling hills and valleys with the Sibillini Mountains in the distance. Great accommodation, ensuite rooms with lots of everything you need in a home from home. 3 kitchens to choose from, many indoor seating areas and 2 large seating areas outside, one with incredible views. The owner Daniel and his wife Candida couldn't have been more helpful. We were a group of 19 and none of us had been to this particular part of Italy before. I can't wait to return..

The pool area is slightly raised and again has incredible views.

Perfect wedding, relaxing family holiday

My husband and I spent a magical week at Il Melograno in July this year, celebrating our wedding with our family and friends. We had first visited the villa a year before and immediately fallen in love with the stunning location - rolling hills, fields of sunflowers, Medieval hilltop towns and the Sibillini mountains in the distance. We knew it would be perfect for our wedding. And it was. The villa itself is beautiful, clean, very well-maintained and true to the photos on the website. Rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated. The pool was lovely and always clean. The gardens were also well looked after. The owners, Daniel and Candida are lovely, warm people who worked tremendously hard to ensure that we had the most amazing wedding day and week at the villa. Whilst planning the wedding we were in close contact with Daniel and Candida via email and phone. They were very helpful and patient, offering their advice, experience and local knowledge but also listening to our ideas. They also made time for us to visit the villa and ceremony venue with them. They were always willing to offer extra help, eg suggesting accommodation nearby for guests, restaurant recommendations, booking taxis, minibuses and restaurants, giving advice when a member of our group was unwell and helping with onward travel arrangements. Candida's food is wonderful. We had tasted some of her delicious cakes when we visited to plan the event. Our wedding meal was absolutely superb. Months later, the guests still talk fondly about the fantastic fish lasagne and the porchetta. During the week we spent at Il Melograno, we and our families were able to fully relax and feel as though the villa was our home. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and find a private spot when we needed to, but equally there were some lovely spaces to spend time altogether - we had some wonderful dinners together on the long table overlooking the valley and lots of fun playing water volleyball at the pool. The kitchens were well-equipped, beds were comfortable, blankets were provided when evenings turned cool. With Daniel and Candida living in a separate house within the grounds, they were on hand when we needed help, but otherwise were unobtrusive, leaving us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Il Melograno is a very special place. It is secluded, beautiful and relaxing but has plenty of options for exploring (beaches, mountains, lakes, old towns and villages). We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Candida Fabbri

We are Candida, Elettra, Achille and Atena.
After a five year long restoration project, we have been hosting since 2006, offering a fantastic holiday location, taking great care of groups of all ages and ensuring our guests get the very most from the holiday experience in Le Marche.

We offer a friendly and professional service, helping each group with local information, general holiday advice and assistance with translations, bookings etc.

We live nearby, on the estate, therefore at hand if necessary to address any problems and to maintain the grounds and pool in order, but away thus garanteeing our guests full privacy.

Year after year we continue to improve the grounds, gardens as we take great pride in what we do and strive to ensure guests have a memorable experience.

Contact us at Il Melograno Country Resort to discover this beautiful hide away in the Marche region: a rural retreat in 'authentic Italy'.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the area and particularly the position of the property with uninterrupted views overlooking rolling hills and the mountains.
Le Marche region has so much to offer, from golden beaches, to lakes, mountains, medieval villages and historic towns, authentic food and superb wines, all yet to be discovered by most. Le Marche is Italy all in one region!
Il Melograno Country Resort is a large holiday complex. It's one of a kind, hidden away yet close to amenities.
It is just 15 minutes from the coast and 30 minutes from the foot of the mountains. An excellent base from where to visit Central Italy and its many artistic towns.
The villa is both secluded and private yet very close (1,5 km) to a vast selection of local shops, restaurants, supermarkets and fresh vegetable selling farms.

What makes this property unique

Guests will gain access through automated electric gates, ensuring undisturbed privacy and security throughout their stay. Once inside the estate they'll realise how extensive Il Melograno Country Resort is and have the feeling it's a private hamlet to themselves.

The Villa, the Cottage and the Converted Barn have all been restored to a high standard, offering a total of 13 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

The panoramic pool area is nestled on the highest terrace, surrounded by beautiful gardens and olives. It provides high quality pool loungers and a large gazebo to escape the heat.
The pool is built to public level standards, with two pumps and two filters to ensure perfect water and hygiene standards. It's checked daily.

Complimentary Wi-Fi internet access, all around the property, with three wi-fi access points.

The villa & wedding venue offers guests many outdoor areas, shaded during the summer months, for everyone to find their own spot when wishing to be alone and enjoy the unspoilt surroundings.

We also offer wedding services in the villa grounds with many years of valuable experience.
