We stayed at La Roqqa for 3 nights in mid-September 2024. What a terrific place. We will definitely return. It’s a very classy 5 star boutique hotel. Think: modern relaxed luxury. Our main takeaway was the attention to detail. Everywhere you looked – whether at the design of the lobby; the bedroom fit-out; the little extras – it felt like a group of people had sat down and worked out how to make it as good, high quality and stylish as they could. But the overall feel is relaxed and informal. This is not a stuffy place. The staff seem mostly relatively young but very smooth and friendly. Service is slick and very efficient. When we chatted to them, many of the staff seemed to have worked in international high-end hotels around the world but have been attracted back to La Roqqa and brought their expertise and training with them. Small touches – like remembering from Day 1 (and then us never having to repeat) our still/sparkling water preference, that one of us didn’t eat cheese, or what we ordered for pre-dinner drinks – really impressed us. It’s not a big hotel but our room had a lovely view over the town and harbour. Food was really great – especially the tasting menu – but breakfast also. Again, everything we ordered was of a great quality and beautifully presented. There’s no pool but the quick shuttle to the beach club takes less than 5 minutes – and the level of service and food was continued at the beach club also. Porto Ercole itself is really nice: a relatively small harbour town that’s an easy walk from the hotel. It seems authentically local and Italian, and not spoiled by an invasion of global brands/shops. The connection with Caravaggio is interesting – and it’s surrounded by a series of forts which can be visited (although we didn’t have time – so we’ll do so on a next visit). Getting there from Rome airport was a really easy drive.
