Corriere della Sera
A hotel that revives the dolce vita of Argentario.
The sea with its small harbor in front, and behind it the lush greenery that defines Argentario. Against this backdrop stands out, in its distinctive red tone, the building of a hotel.
LA ROQQA opens in Porto Ercole, in a position that offers a 360-degree view — a synthesis of the territory.
“The only brief from the owners: to recreate the atmosphere of the Dolce Vita.”

The design
We began by analyzing the local mountains, whose minerals are very different from those of the mainland.
This became the guiding material. Iron is used for wall elements, table structures, and custom-designed furnishings.
The colors are those of the place: the blue of the sea, the white of the sand, the green of nature, and the orange-red of the façade.
Lowered proportions, typical of traditional houses, with design elements that seem to contrast but ultimately find their balance.
The hotel & experience
A warm and informal welcome, reflected in the management of both bar and restaurant, with a relaxed sense of conviviality.
A recurring leitmotif throughout: from the reception to the bar, to the restaurant.
Breakfast, with a rich buffet and a small à la carte selection, expresses a clear intention.
A final, decisive element: the people — almost all from the local area.
