Il Melograno In Pontedera

16/08/2024: Paradise place, like being out of this world with the comforts of every day... very kind and helpful owners. We had the privilege of dining with both large and small boars. A place where nature makes peace with man... the beauty of seeing animals in freedom is priceless. A special thank you to Sara who pampered us with her desserts every morning. An experience to try and try again....

30/07/2024: Plus: Nice room, great terrace and nice pool. Minus: Long distances by car - no matter where you want to go. To the sea - which you can supposedly see from the accommodation - approx. 1 hour drive. Hardly any excursion destinations within walking distance. Big minus / absolutely disappointing (even compared to significantly worse rated accommodations in Italy): the breakfast. Everything is heavily sugared and unhealthy. Sweetened nectar instead of orange juice; fruit yogurt from the supermarket; Cornettos and heavily sugared cake. No bread! No fruit. Not to mention cheese, muesli/cornflakes. We found it rude that a farm doesn't even have a breakfast egg left for its guests or only for an additional charge of 5 euros per egg and a long waiting time. It is astonishing that the breakfast - which also caused discomfort at other tables - is not mentioned at all in all the positive reviews. One explanation for this is that the hosts were probably a bit more generous in the past and at least offered a salty or sweet breakfast.
