The La Roqqa Hotel has officially opened in Porto Ercole on Tuscany’s Monte Argentario peninsula.
A hotel and two beach clubs in Porto Ercole
This the debut hotel in Porto Ercole of the Swedish entrepreneur Conni Jonsson, former managing director of the EQT Partners fund, which through its holding Qarlbo invests in various sectors: from entertainment to hospitality and from senior living to real estate. La Roqqa is the first hotel to be launched by Erqole, a company founded by Jonsson. As well as La Roqqa, affiliated with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, there are also two recently redeveloped beach clubs in Porto Ercole, the Isolotto Beach Club and the Riva del Marchese.
Traditional Tuscany cuisine the Scirocco restaurant
Both the public areas and the 55 rooms and suites feature soft colours and lines, with sunlight and marine colours entering from the large terraces and artfully set internal lighting. The interior mixes custom-made furnishings with iconic pieces of Italian 60s and 70s design. The Scirocco restaurant, with traditional Tuscan cuisine and its creative reinterpretations, is led by executive chef Francesco Ferretti. There is also a cocktail bar under head mixologist Giorgio Ferrarese and supervised by Andrea Notaro.
