Hotel Il Pellicano In the late Autumn when there was still plenty of warm sunshine Merrion and MoJo travelled to Southern Tuscany, Rome and Chianti. Their first port of call was the mesmerising Hotel Il Pellicano near Porto Ercole on the Argentario Peninsula and they were delighted to discover that it was still as special and unique as ever. A morning dip in the late October sea was glorious and MoJo was most impressed by the excellent and friendly service shown by all the staff.  Il Pellicano still lives up to its fabulous reputation and has to be one of the very best and most special hotels in the world.
Villa Il Bosso Villa Il Bosso in nearby Ansedonia is situated in a magical location with views across the bay to Argentario. Luxurious yet full of character, ll Bosso has remained in the same family for many years and is a much loved holiday home. With fabulous pool, numerous outside dining areas and newly decorated interiors & friendly staff, Il Bosso is a very special seaside destination.
