Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Il Pellicano is the clear choice among this group for travellers who want direct sea access alongside serious dining. Set on a cliff-top above the Tyrrhenian Sea, the hotel has its own private beach and a Michelin-starred restaurant, with a second on-site option for variety. Free parking is included. The beach itself is rocky rather than sandy, so this suits swimmers more than sunbathers looking for soft sand, and the cliff-top position means transfers are needed to reach the nearest town. Pricing is likely to sit at the premium end for the region, in keeping with the setting and service level.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list in Tuscany is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Guests descend directly from the clifftop to a private rocky cove, offering a secluded alternative to Porto Ercole's public beaches without crowds or booking fees.
- The on-site Michelin-starred restaurant elevates the property beyond typical resort dining, drawing guests who plan meals around the kitchen's tasting menus.
Things to Consider
- The natural rock formation, while scenic, means guests preferring soft sand should bring appropriate footwear or consider the pool as an alternative.
- The elevated position that provides privacy and views also means reaching Porto Ercole's harbor and shops involves a short drive or taxi.
