A new member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World group, this elegant hotel is an exclusive escape near Porto Ercole in Tuscany.

Surrounded by a Mediterranean landscape and overlooking a spectacular bay, Il Pellicano offers a perfect mix of luxury and exclusivity among idyllic olive groves and splendid grounds.

The accommodation is both luxurious and unique, and comprises 34 double rooms, 5 junior suites with sea views, 4 deluxe suites with sea views and 7 master deluxe suites with sea views.

Cottages are available for exclusive rental to enjoy absolute privacy with family or friends. Staying at this luxury Tuscany hotel is a feast for the senses: vibrant colours surround you, thanks to the vivid hues of the lush gardens, intense sky and warm red walls of the cottages.

Tasteful furnishing and paintings extend the feeling of being in a private Tuscan residence, while enchanting views of the sea will captivate your attention and allow you to feel closely connected to nature during your visit.

As you would expect in the heart of Tuscany, eating and drinking at this hotel is a real treat. The Michelin star restaurant Il Pellicano enjoys coastal views, and the surprising creations of Chef Sebastiano Lombardi are a seductive delight for the taste buds. 

Light bites are available at ll Pelligrill, a traditional seaside restaurant located halfway between the beach and the hotel where you can enjoy lunch while sea breezes caress your face.

Wine lovers are also well served, thanks to Il Pellicano’s formidable cellar, full of the best vintage wines of Sassicaia, Solaia and Tignanello.

The Pelliclub wellness centre is small but perfectly formed and offers a range of specially-developed treatments and Tuscan cosmetic products from Antica Farmacia Santa Maria Novella in Florence.

Or you can just benefit from strolling among the scenery and sea breezes to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated – it’s up to you.
