Hotel Il Pellicano

From the moment we arrived until we left we felt at home, a fantastic welcome from Angelo and his staff and a nice upgrade to a room with a sea view. The service was top notch throughout our stay, as was breakfast, lunch and dinner. We can happily recommend the restaurant, we ate the Michelin menu on the first day and the classic menu on the second day, both were really good. Unfortunately we were at the hotel just when they opened and due to the weather we couldn't sit outside and eat which was a shame as the view from the veranda is breathtaking. Otherwise the pool bar was very nice too with really good service, the indoor bar was also without any complaints. Something we definitely want to highlight is the gym, the gym is important in a hotel. 5 star Mediterranean hotels normally don't have any particularly fun gyms, Il Pellicano offers without comparison the best gym we have visited in a hotel - regardless of star rating. Good machines, friendly staff and order. Finally something important if you drive Italian, good parking with plenty of space where you don't have to worry about whether your car is still whole and clean the next day - Il Pellicano offers valet parking with a fantastically nice garage. We could write much much more, we can only recommend the hotel and will come back many times. We thank Angelo and his staff for two fantastic days and nights, the service was not only good it was going the extra mile.

A beautiful setting and a friendly and attentive staff. Rooms are super comfortable and the restaurant view of the sea, food and service is superb. Relax with delicious Rossini cocktails in the outside bar. Everything you want for a special and memorable holiday. Perfect!

This is a beautiful hotel with an excellent restaurant. We loved the easy lunch menu (the Italian version of a Cobb salad was divine) and enjoyed two exquisite dinners -- one with the traditional menu and one with their more formal eight-course tasting menu. Both were divine and the service was so kind and generous -- we felt spoiled and cared for. The joy that this staff brings to their work is incredible. Thank you!

I wanted to love this hotel — after a few years of seeing it everywhere — but just didn’t. The grounds are beautiful but the service is lacking. It’s the little things that make a hotel feel luxurious and this one doesn’t have them. Absolutely everything felt transactional — when a shirt needed a quick press coming out the suitcase and we called for an iron or steamer we were told there are none on premises but we can pay for it to be pressed and returned tomorrow. Not helpful when I want to wear it tonight. This is also the only hotel in all our stays in Italy where cocktails do not come with snacks of some sort complimentary. At this price point, the last thing a guest should feel is that the hotel is nickel and diming. I’m glad we went to experience it, but wouldn’t return.

This is a wonderful hotel. The natural,beauty, the rooms, the beach and amenities, the food all all first class. The secret ingredient on Il Pellicano is the staff….very friendly, efficient and highly professional. Such an amazing experience all around and perfect as my wife and I celebrated our anniversary.
