La Roqqa

Craftsmanship and architectural ingenuity come together at La Roqqa. This boutique hotel rises from a hillside on the Monte Argentario peninsula along Tuscany’s coast in Italy, with Porto Ercole in its eyeline – a town that dates back to the Etruscans. Nearby, you’ll find ancient archaeological sites, and a charming harbour that stirs to life every morning.

Beyond its striking terracotta-coloured exterior, every detail seems to reflect what defines Porto Ercole. The same reddish hue continues throughout the hotel, alongside bursts of blue and green, reminiscent of the sea ahead and the greenery of the surrounding mountains.

The décor, consisting of slick, handcrafted furnishings, channels Italian glamour from the 1960s. Abundant sunlight also bathes every room and suite, pouring in through floor-to-ceiling windows and creating a sense of continuity with the outdoors. From a sea-facing suite, step out to your private terrace where the harbour stretches out before you. Savour quiet moments, watching the daily rituals of local fishermen or yachts as they glide in after a day’s adventure.

From La Roqqa’s restaurant, the sea continues its captivating display. Here, Tuscan delights shine, crafted from the freshest ingredients that have been sourced from local producers or harvested from the organic garden onsite. Some steps away, you can wind down at the stylish rooftop terrace during aperitivo hour while gazing out to gold-tinted sunsets over the harbour.

Spend your days in Porto Ercole at La Roqqa’s chic beach club, right on a sandy shoreline. Set off into clear waters on a snorkelling adventure or unearth hidden coves by kayak. Explore further on a private sailing trip, as you cruise to tucked-away inlets or the picturesque islands of Giglio and Giannutri.
