A Point Porto Ercole Resort & Spa

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to A Point Porto Ercole Resort & Spa on Via Caravaggio, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Porto Ercole isn’t exactly Portofino or the Amalfi Coast, you know? It’s this charming little fishing village tucked into Monte Argentario that most tourists completely miss. But that’s actually what makes this place special. The hotel sits right where Via Caravaggio meets Via Tramontana (which, if you know anything about Italian street names, tells you you’re getting both the artistic soul and the mountain winds), and honestly, the location couldn’t be more perfect if you’re trying to experience the real Tuscany without fighting crowds of selfie-stick wielding tourists.

The resort itself is… well, it’s genuinely beautiful in that understated Italian way. None of that flashy Dubai-style luxury – instead, you get these clean lines, natural materials, and this spa that actually uses local thermal waters. I mean, Monte Argentario has been known for its healing springs since Roman times, so they’re not just making that up for marketing purposes. The rooms have this lovely Mediterranean feel without being kitschy about it, and here’s something I really appreciated: the soundproofing is excellent. You’d think being on a peninsula you’d hear everything, but the rooms are surprisingly quiet even during the summer when the port gets busy with yachts. The 8.2 rating makes sense to me – it’s not quite perfection (the Wi-Fi can be spotty in some areas, and breakfast service can be slow if you’re in a rush), but it’s definitely the kind of place where you find yourself extending your stay.

What really got me was how the staff seemed to actually know the area. When I asked about hiking trails, they didn’t just hand me a generic brochure – they told me about this incredible walk up to the Spanish fortress that most guidebooks don’t even mention, and gave me specific timing advice about when the light is best for photos. The concierge mentioned that Thursday mornings are perfect for exploring the old town because that’s when the local market happens and you can actually park without circling for twenty minutes. These are the kinds of details that make you realize you’re dealing with people who live here, not just work here. And you know what? For a five-star place in Italy, the pricing felt reasonable – not cheap, obviously, but not like they were trying to fleece you either. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between luxury and authenticity, and you don’t mind being a bit off the beaten path, this place delivers.

Reviews

• Very good place. – Aisling from Italy – 6 June 2025 (8/10)

  The hotel is very good – lovely rooftop pool & cafe; very friendly staff, large room (we were given an upgrade), and staff help with parking. Parking opp is free and very good, though crowded. Breakfast was a bit chaotic as it was a holiday weekend and things ran out quickly, so not great. Overall very good place.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was a bit chaotic

• Good – Joyce from Ireland – 22 May 2025 (7/10)

  Bedroom good

• Loved this little town, a bit early in the season so some of the restaurants & attractions weren’t open. – Kim from Australia – 15 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very comfortable room with 5 star qualities.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing really except it was very quiet as it was out of their busy season.

• Off-season stay; quiet and a bit boring. Most restaurants were closed. Too cold for beach, pool. – Holly from United States – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

  We were there in off-season, so parking was easy. Breakfast was delightful, delicious, gracious service.
  
  What could be improved: It was off-season so we could not enjoy the amenities of the pool and sitting outside, nor the beach. Most restaurants in the area were closed, so we ate at the hotel, which was good, but not as adventurous for us as 'tourists."
  Where in the world did they come up with the SQUARE TOILET and BIDET? Very awkward.

• It fitted everything we required ,food was good ,wine selection good ,rooms good and hotel resources – Jasmine from Australia – 17 November 2024 (8/10)

  Breakfast was good continental mix of fruit ,savory ,pastries,cakes,eggs ,bacon ,toast ,tea ,coffee ,juices ,water
  
  What could be improved: The l 3 dining bit cold in the night even with heating above its a marquee and so dress with warmth in the cooler months for this otherwise nice area would be great in summer

• Superb – Paardenpas from Netherlands – 17 June 2024 (9/10)

  I missed a Nespresso coffee machine in the bedroom or tea/coffee facilities for when you wake up.
  Also, the styling is beautiul but to connect my laptop i had to crawl under the desk, not very practical.
  The food was more than excellent, the pool fantastich, the manager super.
  Paulo and Dario were also great as were the me doing the gardening, the rooms and helping with suitcases.
  All in all would love to come back! Truly wonderful, missing it already.

• lovely friendly hotel – Elizabeth from Netherlands – 2 October 2023 (8/10)

  beautiful large room. excellent breakfast. very clean and pleasant hotel. staff are extremely kind and helpful. Food is excellent in restaurant.
  
  What could be improved: it is a bit off the beaten track so there is not much around the hotel (like restaurants or shops). they tend to play music everywhere (in the corridors, while you eat dinner). quite loud too.

• Modern, clean hotel with stunning rooftop pool, close to town – Mark from United Kingdom – 21 August 2023 (9/10)

  Great variety at breakfast in beautiful modern room with panoramic view.
  Stunning roof top swimming pool
  Only 5-10 walk into the town of Porto Ercole
  
  What could be improved: Could have been more check in staff. They only seemed to be able to deal with one person at a time.
