Il Pellicano
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel on the seafront
Born from a love story in the early 1960s, Il Pellicano is one of the most romantic hideaways in the world. Cocooned by the beauty of nature, it lies tucked away between the blue sea and the lush Mediterranean vegetation on the Argentario coast of Tuscany. The French poet Charles Baudelaire’s words “There all is harmony and beauty, luxury, calm and delight” will gain new meaning at this secluded resort, with its heated salt-water pool overlooking the sea, private beach, panoramic terraces, tennis court, gym and wellness centre. The décor is elegant but understated and guests can choose between fine dining at the acclaimed Il Pellicano restaurant or a more casual meal at the Pelligrill. Attention to detail and impeccable service delivered with a warm smile are the hallmark of the hotel, and will make you feel like being at home, away from home. ...Read more

La Posta Vecchia
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront
La Posta Vecchia, exclusive and immaculately preserved, a peaceful and unexpected hideaway, is located just outside Rome, at the end of a long tree-lined driveway – it is set amidst luxuriant green gardens and is alive with birdsong. The view that meets you is truly breath-taking: the ochre hues of the towers and, next to them, the splendours of Castello Odescalchi. The residence, which previously belonged to J.P. Getty, is packed with works of art, unique items from his private collection, such as Carrara marble bath tubs, Renaissance furniture and Gobelins tapestries. A dinner on the restaurant terrace overlooking the sea, a dip in the heated pool, a relaxing treatment in the Health & Beauty Centre. That just about sums up your day at La Posta Vecchia. ...Read more
