Pellicano Hotels (also the “Group”) manages three of Italy's most fabled hotels - Il Pellicano, La Posta Vecchia and the Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa.
Hotel Il Pellicano, bought by Roberto Sciò in 1979 and the flagship of the Group, is a luxury seaside hotel in Porto Ercole, located in a pristine Tuscan cove. La Posta Vecchia, prior home to Roman Imperators and purchased by the Sciò Family from socialite Jean Paul Getty, is a luxury boutique hotel 30 minutes from Rome. The Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa is a five-star hotel tucked into 7 hectares of Mediterranean scrub in Ischia.
The vision is to establish Pellicano Hotels as the leader in honest travel, emulating a passion for Italian tradition, combined with character and innovation. Each hotel is nestled in the natural beauty of Italy’s picturesque landscapes and encompassed by local heritage.
With their renewed sustainability vision, Il Dolce Far Bene, Pellicano Hotels is redefining La Dolce Vita, reflecting an ethos of honest luxury and the embodiment of Italian culture, while also creating positive value for the surrounding areas and local communities.
