Heaven on earth, literally never wanted to leave.
If there was one place I could go back to every year without fail it would be Hotel Il Pellicano. Even as I write this I have a big smile on my face thinking about the amazing 7 nights that was spent here.
Its a place you don't leave (the only exception that we left the property was to experience a hot air balloon in Chianti) from the moment you arrive you are inspired and can only imagine the A-List crowd that has been here before you.
The Spa and its Olive oil massage is the first place we went after a 2 hour drive from Rome airport and we knew after this that we were definitely coming back here again.
Next is the food which is why you don't leave, it houses a michelin star restaurant, a bar and a bistro style restaurant which are all equally as good as each other. The wine cellar is one of the best I've seen and the wine class/tour is second to none with our guide going way over our time set and sharing all wines that we wished he then asked where we were dining tonight and had our waiter use our favourite wines to match the dishes we ordered.
Not only does it have a pool, but down on the cliff (which you use a elevator) is a place to dive and lay by the ocean. Here the staff look after you from bar food and drinks to setting up your chair, towels and water equipment are exceptional.
I cant fault the rooms, the service, Spa, food or wine at this place. I will always cherish the time I spent here and cannot wait to go back.
Oh my I get goosebumps thinking about it, I know that sounds corny but Hotel Il Pellicano is a special place.
