With refined Mediterranean and Tuscan grilled dishes overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and relaxing on the sun-drenched outdoor terrace, dining at Pelligrill, the iconic al fresco restaurant perched on the cliffs of the legendary Hotel Il Pellicano, is one of life's great pleasures. Arriving for lunch after a morning sunbathing by the pool, we were seated at the perfect corner table with lovely views of the sea, and with the days hovering around 40° celsius, made that sea breeze feel like magic. Beginning with a glass of chilled Franciacorta Brut 25 Fratelli Berlucchi, it was the perfect beginning to a lovely lunch.

We did purchase this canvas bag with the Hotel Il Pellicano logo,
to tote our purchases that we were sure acquire during our upcoming month in Italy
