THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Hotel Il Pellicano
On the Monte Argentario promontory, just outside Porto Ercole, Hotel Il Pellicano keeps to 47 rooms across two floors, six kilometres from the town center, with a terrace and garden that lead down toward a private beach and a seasonal outdoor pool. Rooms run small in number but wide in range, from sea-view suites with full double beds and private bathrooms to garden-view junior suites and a handful of twin rooms for those who don't need the view to justify the stay. The hotel has been photographed by Slim Aarons and Juergen Teller, and that history shows less in the lobby than in the way the place carries itself, service delivered with the stylish, effort-concealed nonchalance the Pellicano group calls sprezzatura, extending to a diving club, a tennis court, a library, and a spa with steam room and massage that don't need to announce themselves. Staff speak English, German, Italian and Spanish, and private check-in means arrivals skip the front desk altogether. This suits a couple or a small group after a Tuscan coastal base without a resort's scale, who will use the private beach and the water sport facilities more than the conference hall, and who can absorb a 390 euro one-way airport transfer and a 120 euro nightly extra-bed fee without blinking. It won't suit anyone chasing a big-brand pool scene or travelling with a dog over five kilograms, and the season runs April to October only, so winter plans need somewhere else. What Il Pellicano has that its Tuscan rivals don't is that specific relationship with the camera, the Slim Aarons pictures that shaped how this stretch of coast still looks in people's imagination. On the Monte Argentario coast near Porto Ercole, Il Pellicano keeps to 47 rooms, a private beach and a spa, service run with the stylish nonchalance the Pellicano group calls sprezzatura. It suits couples after a small, camera-famous corner of Tuscany, not resort crowds, and runs April to October only.

Insider Info
What to Know Before You Go
Dinner on the Terrace at Ristorante Il Pellicano
The hotel's signature restaurant sends simple ingredients through brilliant culinary hands, turning out unexpected Mediterranean flavours on a terrace above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Alongside it, Pelligrill offers a more relaxed seaside menu. Both venues anchor the hotel's long-standing reputation for refined, effortless Tuscan dining.
The Pool Slim Aarons Made Famous
Perched above the sea, the hotel's pool and beach area became one of the most photographed scenes of la dolce vita after Slim Aarons captured it on film. It remains an idyllic sunbathing retreat today, with the Benissimo Club's Beach Club and Pool facilities built around the same cliffside setting the photographer immortalised.
