In the picturesque town of Porto Ercole, on the southeastern shore of the island of Monte Argentario, is Il Pellicano. This truly beautiful resort, situated romantically on a cliff overlooking the sea, is a gem of Tuscany, Italy. With simple and elegant style, each room is designed with flowing architecture reminiscent of a charming old Italian cottage. Brightly lit, with pure white walls and warm brown stone floors, the atmosphere is airy and open with large double doors leading to the warm coast. The rustic luxury of this hotel is sure to enchant and delight, and when you step out in the early morning to view the sun rising over Tuscany, you may never want to leave. This is life at Il Pellicano, and falling in love with Italy has never been so easy.

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.

Il Pellicano is one of my favourite hotels in the world. We stayed over a long weekend mid October - booked last minute after checking that the weather was good. We were blessed with 4 days of glorious sunshine, swimming in the sea, and eating on the terrace every night. October can be a tricky time to travel in Italy - if you’re unlucky it can be cold and rainy, and there is not much to do at the hotel if the weather is poor. We were lucky, and as the hotel was quiet we were upgraded to a lovely sea view room. Service was exceptional throughout. Il Pellicano is not for everyone - it is quite informal, doesn’t have the facilities of many five star hotels, and some of the furnishings are perhaps past their best. But for me, this adds to the charm of the place - it’s a unique experience, in one of the most picturesque locations in Italy.

Had an extremely satisfied stay at Il Pellicano. Upon arrival and departure the team was incredibly helpful and quick with the check-ouin/out. Stayed in a lovely room. Loved the special focus on sustainability, called Il Dolce Far Bene. Had an amazing dinner at Pelligrill. The cuisine was light and delicious, perfectly alligned with the restaurants branding and the team was incredible. All in all, had a wonderful stay, highly recommend Pellicano.

Our stay was perfect! From the moment we arrived until sadly we had to leave. The staff is most welcoming and helpful ,the grounds are breathtaking ,our garden room beautiful. The food is delicious! We loved spending 2 lazy days lounging on the cliffs overlooking the most magnificent view and swimming in the sea. If you are looking for a wonderful place to recharge and get away from the noise of the world ,Il Pellicano fits the bill....we will be back!

Il Pellicano is truly a luxurious hotel on the seaside. I traveled here with my husband and two teenagers, and we all enjoyed a relaxing stay. The room was extremely comfortable and clean, with good beds, plenty of space, and all amenities provided. Breakfast was very good. The staff was excellent with communicating prior to arrival and during our stay, and was very friendly. The hotel is extremely expensive and the reason to spend to stay here is really the position of the property on the seafront with easy access to the most beautifully clear, warm water. We spent most of our stay in the ocean, happily bobbing around on a noodle or raft. Lunch was ok - not as good as I'd expect. A few criticisms/suggestions: purchase a few more rafts - four is not enough; control the beach chairs better by posting a staff member at the base of the steps to greet guests. Other guests took our chairs while we were in the water, and instead of staff removing them, they set up new chairs next to our old ones. This was fine - but caused some stress for us and was avoidable. Finally, we appreciated the use of a shower by the pool area after our checkout, but there was no shampoo or conditioner provided in the shower. Otherwise, except for cost, there is no reason not to stay here!
