Fodor's Expert Review Pardini's Hermitage
Località Cala degli Alberi, Giglio Porto, Tuscany, 58012, Italy
This ultraprivate hotel is free from noise except for the lapping of waves on the rocks; terraces and flowering gardens spill down a rocky cliff to private beaches below, and on the hill above, the owners raise purebred donkeys that you can ride over the mountain and goats that produce fresh yogurt and cheese for breakfast. Rooms feel more like those of a private home than a hotel; to complete your sense of relaxation, hydromassages and mud baths are available at the hotel's spa. You can only get here via the hotel's private boat.
PROS
- hydromassages and mud baths are available at the hotel's spa
- spectacular views
- highly comfortable accommodations
CONS
- three-night minimum stay
- isolation makes the hotel a poor base from which to tour the island
- no air-conditioning
