Il Pellicano

From the moment we arrived until we left we felt at home, a fantastic welcome from Angelo and his staff and a nice upgrade to a room with a sea view. The service was top notch throughout our stay, as was breakfast, lunch and dinner. We can happily recommend the restaurant, we ate the Michelin menu on the first day and the classic menu on the second day, both were really good. Unfortunately we were at the hotel just when they opened and due to the weather we couldn't sit outside and eat which was a shame as the view from the veranda is breathtaking. Otherwise the pool bar was very nice too with really good service, the indoor bar was also without any complaints. Something we definitely want to highlight is the gym, the gym is important in a hotel. 5 star Mediterranean hotels normally don't have any particularly fun gyms, Il Pellicano offers without comparison the best gym we have visited in a hotel - regardless of star rating. Good machines, friendly staff and order. Finally something important if you drive Italian, good parking with plenty of space where you don't have to worry about whether your car is still whole and clean the next day - Il Pellicano offers valet parking with a fantastically nice garage. We could write much much more, we can only recommend the hotel and will come back many times. We thank Angelo and his staff for two fantastic days and nights, the service was not only good it was going the extra mile.

Hotel Il Pellicano is every bit as magical as it looks — and as people say. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we stepped into a dream. The setting is stunning, the water is crystal clear, and the service is truly exceptional. On our first night, we watched as the chefs graciously offer to make a carrot cake from scratch — just because the girls at the next table were craving it. Another couple requested a custom salad, and the very next day, it appeared as a special on the menu. It’s that kind of thoughtful, personalized service that makes this place feel unlike anywhere else. There are plenty of loungers down by the sea, and the pool is just as lovely. Our room was closer to the hillside and did have a bit of a moth issue, but even so, everything about the property feels top-tier, from the design to the attention to detail. Il Pellicano is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype — and then some.

This is a beautiful hotel with an excellent restaurant. We loved the easy lunch menu (the Italian version of a Cobb salad was divine) and enjoyed two exquisite dinners -- one with the traditional menu and one with their more formal eight-course tasting menu. Both were divine and the service was so kind and generous -- we felt spoiled and cared for. The joy that this staff brings to their work is incredible. Thank you!
