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.

I totally agree with Jason Whitholm review. The hotel, facilities and pool and beach are fabulous. Service in the restaurants is excellent. The service at the pool and beach is non existent. Huge disappointment. I am now at sister hotel Mezzatorre and it is outstanding and a highlight is the pool and beach service. Why not also at il Pellicano?

How can a 5 star hotel dictate to you what to eat on a Monday.?? This highly rated and expensive hotel did. Due to their own decision on sustainability they decide for the guests that no Meat will be served on a Monday.!!!! They do allow you to ask for meat however,they have special vegetarian menus only. Surely a hotel of this type should allow their gusts to decide what and when they want to eat and not be dictated to. Apart from above the hotel was adequate

We just returned from a great stay at Il Pellicano but many things were lacking from a resort of this notoriety. First, the good: the rooms are great, the views from the property and the beach are incredible, the staff in the restaurants is superb and the food and presentation is great. A few criticisms: the service at the pool and at the beach is abysmal. You literally have to chase the staff down to get their attention. For a resort of this type, the service should be better. It’s simple. It’s just training. Also. It appears that not a dime is spent to improve the common areas. When we arrived at the pool, the umbrellas seemed old and rusty. Near the beach, it felt similarly uncared for. Most resorts spend a lot to keep the property clean, fresh and new. This place seemingly chooses to rest on its laurels. Finally, although the food was good, the menu was limited and the dinners felt repetitive. The meals were perfectly good but after four days I found myself sick of the same menu with limited choices. The pizza — that you have to order a day in advance — was fine but not worth the hype. No better than a typical pizza. Net net - we had a great time and am happy to have visited the resort for the first time, but I wasn’t as wowed as I expected to be.

Everything about this gorgeous hotel was perfect, especially the view, location and staff. The breakfast far exceeded my expectations of presentation and was absolutely delicious. I will come back! I can say that about few hotels i have experienced . I adore the neon sign. We will never forget Christian and his impeccable service and anticipation of our needs. I felt like i was transported back in time!! It is a wonderful and timeless place .

This hotel is outstanding - it’s a legend! There is everything as you imagine in your dreams. Design, location, food and staff. The location is just perfect and the view is breathtaking. The team is perfectly attentive and you feel like homw, It’s a journey into the Jetset of the 60th at its best!
