On Tuscany’s southern coast, where the Argentario peninsula meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, a new season begins with quiet confidence. LA ROQQA has officially reopened for 2026, unveiling a thoughtful evolution of its design-led identity—one that leans further into space, experience, and a deeper connection to its surroundings.
Originally introduced as Porto Ercole’s first design-focused boutique hotel, LA ROQQA continues to refine its position as a contemporary retreat—balancing Italian design heritage with a distinctly modern sensibility.
A Design Philosophy That Prioritizes Space and Flow
Following its latest renovation, the hotel has intentionally reduced its room count from 50 to 47—an uncommon move that speaks to its priorities.
The result is a collection of larger, more thoughtfully designed rooms and suites that emphasize comfort, openness, and fluidity. Designed by Palomba Serafini Associati, the interiors draw inspiration from 20th-century Italian design, blending clean lines with warm textures and a subtle sense of nostalgia.
The effect is not just aesthetic—it’s experiential. Spaces feel less like hotel rooms and more like extensions of the landscape outside, with views that frame Porto Ercole’s coastal charm.
Gastronomy Rooted in Place
Dining at LA ROQQA continues to evolve as a central part of the experience.
At Scirocco, the hotel’s signature restaurant, the focus remains firmly on Tuscan ingredients and seasonal expression. Under the direction of Cluster Culinary Director Francesco Ferretti, the menu highlights local produce—particularly vegetables, developed in collaboration with L’Orto Giusto.
This season introduces a playful yet refined twist: a tomato-inspired cocktail menu. Creations like the Bloody Mar Y 26 and Mare e Datterino celebrate the ingredient’s versatility, offering a fresh perspective on regional flavors.
The expanded terrace, overlooking the Argentario coastline, sets the stage for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings, while curated wine lists and collaborative four-hands dinners—featuring partners like Villa Petriolo—further deepen the culinary narrative.
Wellness as a Core Experience
Wellness at LA ROQQA is no longer an add-on—it’s a central pillar of the stay.
The expanded Wellness Suite introduces a blend of advanced technology and holistic treatments, tailored to individual needs. From cryotherapy using MECOTEC systems to pneumatic leg compression with JetBoots Pro Plus, and light therapy treatments with Omnilux Contour devices, the focus is on recovery, performance, and long-term well-being.
The experience is intentionally personalized, with treatments arranged through the Guest Experience Team—ensuring that wellness feels integrated rather than scheduled.
Suites Designed for Modern Living
The 2026 season also introduces new suite categories, including the Ercoletto Junior Sea View Suites, designed with families in mind.
At the top end, the Caravaggio Penthouse stands out as a defining feature—now enhanced with a private outdoor bath overlooking Porto Ercole. Spanning multiple levels, the suite reflects the hotel’s broader philosophy: combining privacy, design, and a sense of place.
Isolotto Beach Club: A Coastal Extension
Beyond the hotel itself, the experience extends to Isolotto Beach Club—an integral part of LA ROQQA’s offering.
Set along one of Argentario’s rare sandy stretches, the beach club blends relaxed elegance with a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. Surrounded by natural landscape and open sea, it offers a setting that feels both exclusive and unpretentious.
The on-site restaurant, Pieds Sans L’eau, focuses on fresh coastal cuisine—highlighting local fish and seasonal ingredients—while the space transitions seamlessly from daytime relaxation to sunset gatherings.
Experiencing Argentario, Personally
LA ROQQA’s curated experiences continue to evolve, becoming increasingly private and tailored.
Guests can explore the region through a range of immersive activities—from countryside picnics in the Maremma to private sailing excursions to the islands of Giannutri and Giglio. More intimate moments, such as the Starlight Swim Experience, offer a quieter connection to the landscape.
Family-friendly experiences, including cooking sessions and farm visits, ensure that the offering remains inclusive while maintaining its sense of refinement.
A Broader Vision for the Region
The reopening of LA ROQQA is part of a larger vision from its parent brand, Miramis.
With plans to expand across the Tuscan coast—including upcoming projects like La Capitana in the Maremma countryside and Ex Cirio in Porto Ercole—the brand is positioning itself as a key player in the region’s long-term regeneration.
Where Design Meets Destination
What defines LA ROQQA in 2026 is not just its design or location, but its perspective.
It offers a version of Tuscany that feels both rooted and forward-looking—where tradition is respected, but never static. Whether through its expanded suites, evolving culinary program, or immersive experiences, the hotel continues to shape a stay that feels less like a visit and more like a connection.
