Erqole has launched a program in southern Tuscany to redevelop and convert a number of decommissioned properties into accommodation and hotel facilities in the luxury segment, aiming to create job opportunities, contribute to the development of the local community and to the preservation and enhancement of the territory. Among the renovation and repositioning projects followed and already launched by Erqole in Porto Ercole (GR): the hotel La Roqqa (formerly Hotel Don Pedro) and two beach clubs, Isolotto Beach Club (formerly Bagno Le Viste) and Riva del Marchese. A total of 160 professionals work in these facilities. The former Cirio Factory, also in Porto Ercole, aims to become a hotel project of the highest quality in the not so distant future. Erqole's goal is to offer, through its facilities, personalized experiences and the chance to live the authenticity of Porto Ercole, as well as to give back to the territories in which it operates a legacy, in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability.
