Luxury Hotels In Porto Ercole

Choose A Cove Or A Broader Resort Landscape

Il Pellicano looks over a Tyrrhenian cove near Porto Ercole. Its coastal setting makes the sea a main part of the hotel experience.

Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort provides another approach, with golf and a wider resort setting contributing to the visit. Compare it with the cove retreat around the landscape and activities you want from the hotel, rather than the length of a facilities list.

Feniglia For Dunes, Pinewood And Lagoon

Feniglia is the sandy link between Monte Argentario near Porto Ercole and the hill of Ansedonia. The Tyrrhenian Sea lies on one side and Orbetello Lagoon on the other. This is a different coastal landscape from a rocky cove: the reserve brings sand dunes, a stone-pine forest and the lagoon edge into one narrow strip of land. Choose Feniglia for that succession of habitats, with vegetation and shoreline sharing the interest of the outing.

The pinewood also has a productive history. Its stone pines supply pine nuts used in food, adding a working landscape to the reserve's natural character.

Orbetello For A Lagoon Town

Orbetello occupies a thin tongue of land within the lagoon and is connected to Argentario by a causeway. Its historic centre gives a town visit a different setting from Porto Ercole's marina. The cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta has a prominent rose window, while the surviving mill stands in the lagoon itself. The mill's older water-driven machinery was later adapted with sails under Spanish rule: it links the open water to the area's history of grinding grain.

Place Argentario Within A Tuscan Journey

Our Italy destination guide places Argentario beside inland Tuscany and the country's city and regional stays. Compare those settings when choosing the next part of a journey beyond this coast.
