Porto Ercole, Italy

Il Pellicano

A cliff hotel at Porto Ercole, with the pool in the pines and a pier stepped into the water.

Our read

What stood out was how little distance there is between the house and the sea. At Località Sbarcatello the chairs face the headland, the boat waits under the rock, and the old terrace is still the same idea: the coast is the plan of the hotel.

01 - Arrive

The place itself

Il Pellicano is at Località Sbarcatello, 58019 Porto Ercole. The site prints that address and the telephone +39 0564 858111. Write reservations@pellicanohotels.com. Book on pellicanohotels.com. The hotel sits on the rock above the Tyrrhenian, on the Argentario side of Porto Ercole. The photographs are the pool seen through the pines, a person at the end of the pier, a small boat against the cliff, striped chairs above the headland, the roofs from the air, and an older photograph of the terrace. The other frames are the water, the cliff, and the house. Il Pellicano keeps its own reservations desk at that address.
