Mercure Argentario Hotel Filippo II

What a wonderful hotel. The location, rooms, and staff provided a very pleasant stay. This was the first time that I have stayed at this location, but I have been to PSS 5 times (family). Great views, clean spacious rooms and the staff was very willing to take care of all your needs. Tons of very good restaurant choices, close to nearby towns (Porto Ercole, Island of Giglio, Grosetto, PSS) and of course shopping. Also, you have the beaches. I would highly suggest to check out this location.

We spent three wonderful days in the fantastic setting of Hotel Filippo II. We received a very warm welcome, a wonderful Seaview room with two balconies and enjoyed the fantastic hospitality of all team members. Great food-dinner was fabulous and the whole setting is magic. We would’ve loved to come back in October, however, the hotel closes at the end of this month. What a shame!

We selected this hotel for a weekend at the beach . We often spend time in the Argentario area but was the first time at this place . The pictures on several sites are misleading . I booked a room with partial sea view but i found a view on an access path to the rooms . On the outdoor , the view is blocked by some hedgerows in a shared area .The furniture are dated and tired , and the room was larger than expected . The bathroom isn't among the most modern , but clean . Unfortunately the place can be very noisy , due to the other customers passing by the bedroom window at any time of the day or the night . Including screaming kids at 8:30 AM or and elder " gentleman " standing by my window , smoking and cursing on his cell phone at 23:00 .The pool isn't great : very narrow and shady by 17.00 . The access to the beach was closed due to unknown issues .Breakfast isn't a great experience : we were there at 10:00 , 1/2 hour before closing ,most of the food was gone and we were told : " that's it ! You will get what s left . Breakfast is almost over . "Besides , very limited selection , except for Crostata , Cornetti or other italian style breakfast . A positive note : the people at the concierge tried to help at the best : kind and professional . I will not return at the price paid .I am not sure how this place can claim 4 stars . It has a great position , but surely , lacks of proper care .

top location, but: * room was seemingly not (well) cleaned at first day * ac without a users’ manual - no ease of getting it working * breakfast: my god, this is italy: no tomatoes, no fresh orange juice (spremuta) ……… * bathroom: shower facility must have been designed in past century (not for 4* accor hotel) * pool: frequency of cleaning (preferably in early morning times) truly not enough however: very nice and helpful staff, including hotel’s director

Might be a good hotel in an excellent location but greatly mismanaged. The food at the restaurant is terrible. For the breakfast you gave to wait in a queue 20 minutes while the waiter puts limited food on your plate. They clearly do not think about adding another guy to speed up. The selection at breakfast is terrible - the cheese is a shame for Italy as they save money and buy cheapest instead of Pecorino. The same with everything - not even boiled eggs, you have to ask and wait and wait. At dinner the local chef makes mediocre food. However the most terrible thing is the noise from air conditioners, which are gigantic machines and work like tractors. Forget about decent sleep and rest. Truly shameful for Mercury and the management because even one single guest stay would give them more than enough money to put silent devices.
