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.

How can a 5 star hotel dictate to you what to eat on a Monday.?? This highly rated and expensive hotel did. Due to their own decision on sustainability they decide for the guests that no Meat will be served on a Monday.!!!! They do allow you to ask for meat however,they have special vegetarian menus only. Surely a hotel of this type should allow their gusts to decide what and when they want to eat and not be dictated to. Apart from above the hotel was adequate

We just returned from a great stay at Il Pellicano but many things were lacking from a resort of this notoriety. First, the good: the rooms are great, the views from the property and the beach are incredible, the staff in the restaurants is superb and the food and presentation is great. A few criticisms: the service at the pool and at the beach is abysmal. You literally have to chase the staff down to get their attention. For a resort of this type, the service should be better. It’s simple. It’s just training. Also. It appears that not a dime is spent to improve the common areas. When we arrived at the pool, the umbrellas seemed old and rusty. Near the beach, it felt similarly uncared for. Most resorts spend a lot to keep the property clean, fresh and new. This place seemingly chooses to rest on its laurels. Finally, although the food was good, the menu was limited and the dinners felt repetitive. The meals were perfectly good but after four days I found myself sick of the same menu with limited choices. The pizza — that you have to order a day in advance — was fine but not worth the hype. No better than a typical pizza. Net net - we had a great time and am happy to have visited the resort for the first time, but I wasn’t as wowed as I expected to be.

Hotel Il Pellicano is every bit as magical as it looks — and as people say. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we stepped into a dream. The setting is stunning, the water is crystal clear, and the service is truly exceptional. On our first night, we watched as the chefs graciously offer to make a carrot cake from scratch — just because the girls at the next table were craving it. Another couple requested a custom salad, and the very next day, it appeared as a special on the menu. It’s that kind of thoughtful, personalized service that makes this place feel unlike anywhere else. There are plenty of loungers down by the sea, and the pool is just as lovely. Our room was closer to the hillside and did have a bit of a moth issue, but even so, everything about the property feels top-tier, from the design to the attention to detail. Il Pellicano is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype — and then some.

Everything about this gorgeous hotel was perfect, especially the view, location and staff. The breakfast far exceeded my expectations of presentation and was absolutely delicious. I will come back! I can say that about few hotels i have experienced . I adore the neon sign. We will never forget Christian and his impeccable service and anticipation of our needs. I felt like i was transported back in time!! It is a wonderful and timeless place .
