Travellers' Choice
The elegant five-star hotel, located in Tuscany's Maremma region, was built in the mid-1960s as a love nest for Michael and Patricia Graham and it is today part of The Leading Hotels of the World. The home, called Il Pellicano as a tribute to the first time the couple met at Pelican Point in California, was initially a club for the Grahams' friends, but was subsequently expanded and opened to friends of friends. However, a few things remained the same: the pleasure of feeling at home and the glamorous and slightly retro atmosphere. The hotel's discrete luxury and the still-rugged Tuscan countryside attract the international jet set. Today, the cottages and the central building are suspended between the sky and the sea, with large rooms, windows and terraces where it's unclear where the indoors end and the outdoors begin. There are pathways and stairways, fragrant gardens and discrete corners, a restaurant with one Michelin stars and three Gambero Rosso forks, a heated sea-water swimming pool, a spa with a sea view to soothe both the body and the soul, and for those wanting to take a dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a white platform with chaise longue and immaculate parasols.

I’ve stayed all over and this spot is just ok for the price point: Positives - gorgeous / manicured grounds - service at the bar downstairs towards the water was superb - room was nice, albeit nothing extraordinary - beautiful pool Negatives - as a general matter, service was indifferent and candidly uncomfortable at times … don’t dare laugh at the pool or seemingly have an innocent jovial time …. Shhhhhh. Lol - food was just ok … this was surprising to our group as we expected so much more - check in was chaotic and for reasons unknown to us … sorta rude Prior to pellicano my wife and I (and friends) enjoyed hotel de la Ville in rome … same luxury price point, but we walked away with nothing but smiles and no complaints. We were at a Relais in Tuscany too … same … fun, no complaints. This play was just meh. Trust me there are so many better coastal destinations in Italy. Pass this one up.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Il Pellicano. Like stepping back in time, combined with all the modern luxuries one would expect at a property of this caliber. We stayed for several nights in early Oct and the weather could not have been better. The hotel concierge, Linda, will look out for your wellbeing and has great suggestions for regional experiences. The restaurants are fantastic, but nothing beats the seaside hangout.

Our room was gorgeous. The hotel is also located in a gorgeous location; a beautiful pool and beach. The staff were nice. Breakfast and lunch were good. But every dish we had for dinner (a total of 4) was either awful / unedible or mediocre. We were under the impression that the Chef does not seem to like serving traditional dishes and prefers to experiment at dinner. Another thing is that the hotel is in a desolate location. If arriving by taxi at the rail station in Orbetello, book a taxi in advance. There is a shortage in the area. On the day we needed a taxi to go to the hotel it was impossible to find any. Fortunately an employee of the hotel on his day off rescued us. Unfortunately I forgot his name. He was our Guardian Angel and came to our rescue. In the summer there are mosquitos in the evening so it's good to have insect repellent. That problem was easily solved and is not the hotel's fault. It's normal when one is in the middle of nature which makes the location so beautiful and unique. We enjoyed our stay for a few days and it was a unique experience.

This place is heaven on earth. So beautiful. The pool & beach are like what one finds in places like Positano & the Amalfi Coast but without the same crowds. The hotel was previously a private home. It has its own private cove. The service is attentive everywhere in the hotel. The food & beverage were delicious and afforded stunning views. There are many activities on site. And all less than 2 hours from Rome/Fiumicino.

In one word: paradise. There’s no better property to visit for a relaxing, magical experience. The water of the Tyrrhenian Sea is clear and cool. The salt water pool is inviting. The bars (2) and restaurants (2) will take care of your every wish (just give the chef a day’s notice for a special request and voilà). The staff will know you by name and room number. The spa is delightful and the boutique is chic. The clientele is chicer still. Actors, Hollywood directors, famous photographers: they come to Pellicano to escape the world and the laypeople leave them alone. Pretend you’re one of them; it won’t be hard surrounded by such luxury!

Il Pellicano Hotel is nothing short of a Mediterranean jewel. Nestled along the Tuscan coast, it offers an enchanting blend of Italian elegance and laid-back luxury. Guests are treated to breathtaking views of the azure sea, surrounded by lush terraced gardens, all while enjoying world-class service. Its exquisite design, paired with delectable cuisine and a rich history, makes Il Pellicano not just a hotel, but a unique experience that lingers in the memories of its guests, long after their stay. Truly, it embodies the essence of la dolce vita. The service at Il Pellicano Hotel was truly faultless. From the moment we arrived to the second we bid farewell, every detail was meticulously taken care of. The staff, with their warm smiles and exceptional professionalism, anticipated our every need and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. It's a rare and delightful experience to find such unwavering dedication to excellence in service, making our time at Il Pellicano unforgettable. Special shoutout to our amazing bar waiter Bernardo!
