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

Amazing book - really a snap shot of a tremendous "little" hotel and the amazing people who frequented it in the 60's and 70's. A collector's item and a nice slice of (the privileged) life

There is no disputing that this beautiful little jewel of a hotel , Il Pellicano ,is the very definition of "la dolce vita" but unfortunately the Rizzoli book is just a tease, and an expensive one at that.
Most of the photographs are of poor quality, there are a few interesting photos that bring you back to the 1960's and 70's but the last 1/3 of the book is just awful, boring
photos of the owners daughter and her friends unrelated to the beautiful hotel, gardens and lifestyle that one would purchase this book to get a glimpse of. The poor quality is not worthy of the Rizzoli brand.
