Love (In All Its Forms), Italian-Style: Celebrate Your Story at Hotel Il Pellicano

Love (In All Its Forms), Italian-Style:
Celebrate Your Story at Hotel Il Pellicano

Our Tuscan icon is the most romantic place to gather

Hotel Il Pellicano has always been about connection. It began that way in the 1960s, when Michael and Patricia Graham – a British pilot and an American heiress – met in California and eventually made their way to the Tuscan coast. In Porto Ercole, they found a stretch of cliffside land that felt like their own little paradise and decided to build a place where friends could gather, swim, and share long meals by the sea.

That’s how Il Pellicano started: not as a hotel, but as a home built on hospitality and a love of good company. Sixty years later, it still carries that same easy spirit. Which is why it’s a pretty perfect place to host an intimate event, a bash, or a milestone to share with those we love the most.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday, or family celebration, this iconic retreat turns every occasion into something personal and memorable – effortless, but never ordinary.

Where Every Event Feels Personal

What makes Hotel Il Pellicano a good venue for a celebration, you ask? Well, where to begin.

To start with, the property is small enough to feel private but spacious enough to host a proper party. Ceremonies can take place overlooking the sea, followed by cocktails by the pool or dinner under the stars, offering versatility, and plenty of room to accommodate your whims (and your friends, too). The layout is flexible – ideal for everything from a multi-day wedding to a relaxed anniversary dinner.

Then there’s the events team, who knows the property inside out and handles each detail with precision, from menus designed by the kitchen to the flow of the evening. Their approach is hands-on but unfussy, so as to make guests feel completely at ease. In other words: You set the tone; they make it happen.

Planning ahead is key, of course, especially for full-property bookings. Because Il Pellicano operates seasonally (from spring through early autumn), the calendar gets filled up fast, with many couples and families choosing to reserve all rooms so that the entire hotel becomes theirs for the weekend. It’s not about grand gestures; it’s about the freedom to make the place your own.

Not Just for “I Do”

While Hotel Il Pellicano has long been a favourite for weddings, the same care and creativity go into any private event. A milestone birthday dinner, an intimate reunion, a weekend away with close friends – each can be tailored to feel special in its own way.

You might start with aperitivo on the terrace, followed by a candlelit dinner led by the hotel’s culinary team, then a relaxed brunch the next morning with views over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Every detail, from timing to music, is adapted to your rhythm.

The atmosphere stays true to what the Grahams first imagined: a place where people gather naturally and beautifully, with the focus on good food, great company, and simple pleasures.

The Team That Makes It Seamless

Behind every celebration is a small, experienced team that knows how to make things run smoothly without fuss. They’ll coordinate with local florists, musicians, and stylists; arrange transportation for guests; and fine-tune everything from lighting to seating.

The process feels collaborative rather than formal – more like planning with friends who happen to be professionals. That’s part of Hotel Il Pellicano’s charm: no two events ever look the same, yet all carry that unmistakable sense of ease and understated style.

Slow Down, Pelli-Style

There’s something about Il Pellicano that makes people slow down. Maybe it’s the sea breeze, or the light that shifts through the day, or the quiet sense of privacy that comes from being tucked away on the cliffs. Whatever it is, the atmosphere has a way of grounding even the most glamorous celebration.

It’s not about showmanship – it’s about the feeling of sharing something genuine in a place that has hosted generations of joyful moments. From the Grahams’ first summer gatherings to today’s destination weddings and milestone events, Hotel Il Pellicano has always been about the same thing: people coming together and celebrating life at its best.
