Agriturismo Il Melograno In Perugia

We stayed for two days to escape from everyday life with another couple. We had a wonderful time. The rooms were meticulously maintained and clean. The service was impeccable, and the breakfast was fantastic, with homemade cakes, savory dishes, freshly scrambled eggs, coffee, and many other delicious delicacies. The spa was spectacular, small but surrounded by greenery with a breathtaking view. At sunset, you could enjoy bubbles and fruit to accompany this moment of relaxation. The hospitality was top-notch!!

We chose this restaurant for our wedding reception in December, an intimate ceremony with just a few guests, and it was the perfect choice. A refined location, a welcoming atmosphere, and great attention to detail. The service was impeccable: the staff were professional and always available. The menu won over all our guests, from the appetizer buffet to the dessert: excellent cuisine, quality ingredients, and beautifully presented dishes. After the reception, we also took advantage of the spa service and stayed overnight, along with some guests, in the cozy rooms provided by the hotel. Special thanks go to Elena, Filippo, and Massimo for their availability and courtesy. Highly recommended!

Welcome, hospitality, excellent food!

Year 2025 And yet I'm back. I found the tagliata improved in both preparation and quality, and the prices have risen, in line with the market overall, but not by much. The bulk wine is very drinkable, and the dishes are very flavorful and rich, except for one. The cappellacci! Is it possible that there are only six of them and it's not listed on the menu? Come on, it's not an experience, but rather eating in a perched, rustic, and bucolic location that's a real gem with a beautiful view, and where I want to be able to satiate myself even with the cappellacci alone (in my opinion). Year 2018 A visually striking location that's very well suited for business lunches and dinners. Rather than an agriturismo, it's more of a farmhouse or perhaps an estate, especially given the services and prices that an agriturismo should have according to Law 96/2006. So don't expect low prices; with just two courses, you can easily get to an average of 20-25 euros per person. What all the reviews praise is the service and friendliness, but also the expertise, and I agree, but the bodywork alone isn't enough to make a Ferrari the racing car we all know. The welcome and anticipatory "snacks" that change over the months are very good. The vegetables are expertly prepared and flavored, but I think they're the ones that are already of good quality. I returned at the invitation of the owners who responded to the reviews, but the overall opinion remains unchanged, especially the tagliata (cut steak) and the beef in general. Every now and then, you should try visiting historic and specialized grill restaurants like those in Tuscany or Puglia to understand what certain cuts should taste like. So, flavor can't be argued because different heads of cattle yield differently, but texture and chewiness are. For example, if I work hard, I can make even a late-season dairy fillet magnificent. In fact, I think the missing step in the meat at this restaurant is the aging time in the cold storage rooms; Beef quarters should be aged for no less than 20 days; shorter aging periods tend to make the meat tougher, though more pleasing to the eye. Believe me, aging periods of 25-28 and 30 days darken the meat but make it much chewier and more tender. I also order the 40-day version, no more. Having said this, I recommend adjusting the quality of butcher's products to the prices charged; I see I'm not the only one to point this out, just as the concept of "agriturismo" should be reconsidered. A word of warning for the more fussy eaters: despite the taste and refinement of the place, it won't keep the little insects, cats, and friendly frogs that occasionally hop under the tables at bay. The desserts are good, and I've tried almost all of them by now. Being local, I didn't take advantage of the "wellness" services. I don't think I'll be returning often, but as I have in the past, I'll recommend visiting with one of the overnight packages to friends, relatives, and colleagues from out of town.

We stayed only one night. The room was very small for four, but it was well-maintained and definitely clean. It's a shame that the shower, besides having a weak stream, didn't have hot enough water (the outside temperatures are close to freezing). The restaurant offers tasty, authentic dishes, truly excellent. Breakfast was limited, but with quality products. The owners were kind and helpful, as was the waiter (perhaps a little too friendly and "confidential," which might bother some, but not us). I would gladly return, hoping they'll fix a few details.

We came back for a special birthday, always a great, intimate and welcoming atmosphere! The menu is impeccable, not too many courses but an excellent selection, with truly high-quality first and second courses! As always, a confirmation.
