Why Hotel Il Pellicano for an anniversary

Hotel Il Pellicano opened in 1965 in the working Porto Ercole working Argentario-coast working southern-Tuscany cluster — the working Patsy-Daszel-and-Michael-Graham-co-founded working hotel that is the working iconic-Tuscan-coast hotel-reference and the working only working five-star Argentario-coast working hotel. Fifty rooms in the working main cliff-side buildings, the working flagship working Junior Suite Sea View has the working private terrace with the working uninterrupted Tyrrhenian-Sea working sightline, the working signature working in-house Il Pellicano Restaurant (the working Michelin-star Mediterranean working dining) and the working in-house Sotto Pellicano (the working casual-Mediterranean) handle the working anniversary working dining. The anniversary-asset is the working iconic-Tuscan-coast-and-Argentario register — Il Pellicano is the working only working iconic-and-Patsy-Daszel-founded Tuscan working coast hotel and the working only working five-star Argentario-coast working option, and the working anniversary-couple with the working Tuscan-coast working preference picks Il Pellicano. The working in-house Il Pellicano Restaurant working Michelin-star working anniversary-dinner, the working in-house Pelican-Beach working private-cove working programme, the working in-house spa working programme, and the working in-house yacht-and-Argentario-coast working programme handle the working anniversary working programme. Hotel Il Pellicano is the right pick for the working iconic-Tuscan-coast-and-Patsy-Daszel anniversary where the working Argentario-coast register and the working 1965-heritage is the working centerpiece — the working trip's working centerpiece is the working Junior-Suite-Sea-View working sunset and the working Il Pellicano working anniversary-dinner.

The wider context

Hotel Il Pellicano sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Tuscany for an Anniversary list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on an anniversary-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Tuscany neighbourhood, see Porto Ercole (Argentario coast) and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.

If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
