Created in the 1960s as a Tuscan bolthole and quickly adopted by Hollywood, Hotel Il Pellicano (from the people behind La Posta Vecchia and Mezzatorre) sits above the Monte Argentario Cove in a patchwork of terracotta rooftops and beach umbrellas. Bougainvillaea, Pelican Martinis, striped towels, the tennis court. If it was good enough for Slim Aarons to spend a film roll on, it's good enough for us.

foodies, sun seekers
8:24 AM
Now this hotel knows how to do breakfast. On a silver platter, in pretty cups and bowls. It’s very photogenic. Grab a sun bed and ask for it to meet you down by the sea.
10:01 AM
Under the hot Tuscan sun, lounging by the sea is your best bet. Head to the beach club, there's a custom-built elevator to get down. Find snorkelling equipment at the pier.
1:00 PM
Post-swim, head back up to Pelligrill for homemade pasta and the most delicious panzanella. Swap beach wear for something a little more dressed up.
3:16 PM
Is there anything better than an unexpected nap by the pool, with a book in hand? If you're a little hot, seek shade in the shop…it’s got goods to stuff the suitcase with.
5:33 PM
Stake out Bar All’Aperto for one (or two! of the Pelican Martinis). They’re legendary.
9:00 PM
Yes, Ristorante Il Pellicano is Michelin-starred, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the menu is simple and classic. And fresh from the sea. Try and get a table with a view too, just ask them when you make the reservation.
