Character and identity
La Roqqa rises above Porto Ercole's small harbour in a Negroni-hued façade, bringing high design to a quiet Tuscan coastal village that has stayed off the resort circuit. The 55 rooms, reimagined over three years by Milan's Palomba e Serafini, run to intelligent minimalism with red-wine walls, plump white beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and water-facing terraces. Public spaces feature a sculptural spiral staircase, turquoise tilework and local ceramics. The rooftop Scirocco restaurant, helmed by chef Francesco Ferretti, and the nearby Isolotto beach club anchor the social scene. Service comes from an Italian team with luxury international pedigree.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and in-the-know travellers who want the sophistication of the Riviera or Il Pellicano set without the crowds. Ideal for guests who prioritise serious cooking, considered interiors, sea swims off the hotel boat, and a walkable old town that still functions as itself rather than a resort façade.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children will find the lack of a pool limiting, and the property skews adult in feel. Travellers expecting a full spa should wait, as the wellness offering is still being built out. Anyone wanting an easy-access destination should note Porto Ercole takes effort to reach.
Bottom line
The draw here is Scirocco, a genuine destination restaurant with a hotel attached, paired with the Isolotto beach club five minutes away and a village that hasn't yet been ruined by tourism. Book a sea-facing suite for harbour views and terrace, come as a couple or with grown-up friends, and consider the shoulder seasons since the hotel stays open year-round.
