The Tuscany’s most hidden secret, is an Hotel with no online booking etc...
It is one of the last quiet place of Europe. A place that requires an invitation to
eventually get a room.
This book is a captivating look at the glamorous, jet-setting lifestyles of those who
frequent the legendary Hotel Il Pellicano, overlooking a secluded bay in Tuscany’s
Porto Ercole. One of the hippest and most beautiful destinations in the world, the
chic Hotel Il Pellicano, located on the Argentario, is a hangout for many from the
design, fashion, and art worlds. With photographs by the great chroniclers of
yesteryear glamour, John Swope and Slim Aarons—who captured the likes of
Emilio Pucci, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Britt Ekland, Kenneth Tynan, and Susanna
Agnelli relaxing here—as well as Juergen Teller, one of the most influential fine art
and fashion photographers working today, the book presents three different
epochs in the history of this modern-day dolce vita. A Visitor’s Note by Bob
Colacello and a full history of the hotel by Bronwyn Cosgrave explore Il Pellicano’s
illustrious legacy and its continuing seductive allure.

This book may be a much simpler way to have a tour of this singular Italian
location.

A very rare book about a very rare institution.
