Villas in Ischia

In Ischia you will find great restaurants and eateries where to enjoy the most delicious recipes. Umberto a Mare is where to enjoy an exquisite dining experience. Pietratorcia has two little and familiar restaurants in Panza and Forio and it is the place to taste real Italian and Ischian cuisine. And when we talk about food institutions, in Ischia we have Il Saturnino, with excellent wines and Michelin standard cuisine and mouthwatering appetizers such as raw yellowtail and basmati rice, anchovy pie and stuffed squids with prawns.

Spectacular azure waters, lovely beach bars and fantastic atmosphere is what you can expect at the Pontine Islands. Enjoy a lovely meal in Ponza or Ventotene, the two main islands. If you visit during the summer, you can also go to Palmarola. The quiet and desert islands Santo Stefano and Zannone are full of wilderness and rugged coastlines. You can see them from a boat and enjoy the landscape while sailing away. Take a day trip to the “Pearls of the Mediterranean” and tour them for a weekend.

This fortification is an emblem of the island. The large castle is a must-see of the Green Island and it is easily accessed by a bridge. The most active tourists will get to the top through a tunnel built in the rock underneath. As you ascend, on the roof you can see the vents that were built to launch stones and boiling oil to defend the island from its enemies. There is also a lift to get to the top so no one is left out from admiring the Church of the Assumption and the crypt, the Convent of the Poor Clares and the stunning views of the Gulf of Naples.

We are talking about Sant’Angelo, a chic village with lots of VIPs and wealthy people who prefer to stay in quieter areas and away from the crowded centre. This village plenty of colourful houses is mainly for pedestrians and it can be reached by bus from Ischia Porto, and then by taxi or walking into town. A picture-perfect Mediterranean village with narrow alleys, ice cream parlours, eateries and several souvenir shops where to buy gifts take home after the holidays. Enjoy the Maronti beach or walk to Aphrodite-Apollon Thermal Park on the hill.

Since Roman times, humans appreciate enjoying thermal waters and spa treatments. If you have decided to come to Ischia, it is a must you spend a day pampering yourself at any of the thermal spas and gardens. Spend a day between swimming pools of different temperatures, waterfalls, Kneipp treatments, saunas or you can also get access to the sea via a private beach. After a massage, try a mud treatment to remineralise your body, have a facial or tone your muscles at the gym facilities. The lovely terraces are great for some time basking in the sun, relaxing and enjoy a good meal in front of the sea.

Ischia is an ideal place for relaxing, bask in the sun and enjoy some quietness. Every corner of the island hides a gem for its visitors. This is the case of Sorgeto Bay, a very rewarding spot with hot springs that you will reach after descending 234 steps. Big, small, medium-size natural pools with different temperatures, from boiling to cold waters that you can enjoy all year-round. A free spa for everyone to have a relaxing day!

The small little church of Soccorso is a picture-perfect spot of the island. A unique charm that everybody wants to see with their own eyes. This little church was built with different architectural styles on a promontory overlooking the sea so the sailors could see it from afar and recognise they were going back home. And not far from the church, Torrione Forio is another symbol of the town of Ischia. Now it is a museum and an art gallery.
