Pepper-red villas stacked against steep Tuscan cliffsides, overlooking an indigo sea - the cheery, vibrant atmosphere of Il Pellicano can be seen from miles offshore.
EXPERIENCE
Often when choosing island seclusion, you have to compromise cultural connection - not so with Il Pellicano, on Italy's Monte Argentario peninsula. Monte Argentario just barely qualifies as attached to the mainland by a few bridges, but those links make exploring the rest of Tuscany (and beyond) effortless.
At the same time, Il Pellicano features all the advantages of island resort living - miles of coastline, ocean breezes, and a tranquil atmosphere. However, the hotel keeps its guests constantly entertained, despite the relative isolation.
Tennis courts and coaches, gym, and heated salt-water pool (on the brink of a cliff overlooking the ocean, no less) will keep your muscles loose and toned, while the enormous beach-side sun deck and boating facilities will keep you connected to the ocean.
For exploring the surrounding regions, the hotel also offers transfer services, with Mercedes and Audi models on hand.
