Tuscany

Originally a private villa, Il Pellicano is an exclusive, secluded, resort hotel in a unique and unspoiled location on the Tuscan coast. Monte Argentario barely qualifies as a peninsula, attached to the mainland by a few bridges, but those links make exploring the rest of Tuscany effortless. At the same time, Il Pellicano features all the advantages of island resort living - miles of coastline, ocean breezes, and a tranquil atmosphere. It proudly offers the finest cuisine and all the amenities a five-star guest could desire.
