A Guide to Ischia, the Italian Island With Healing Hot Springs and a Dreamy New Hotel

Secret’s out. For years, the volcanic island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples had managed to coast under the radar with its glitzy little sister, Capri, stealing the spotlight. And if you ask the Ischia locals and seasonal regulars who visit to swim in its mineral-rich thermal waters, they consider it a hotspot on the basis of its hot springs—a favorite of ancient Romans seeking self-care—rather than a trendy port of call.

But still, every scroll through Instagram this summer seemed to include an Ischia geotag, with posts from Angela and Margherita Missoni, Aly Michalka, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Candice Lake, Katie Sturino, Athena Calderone, Sophia Roe, JJ Martin, Alex Eagle and Eugenie Niarcos. It seemed all my most glamorous follows were chez Mezzatorre Hotel and Spa, wearing retro high-waisted bikinis whilst noshing on ricotta-stuffed squash blossoms and enjoying the kind of Campari-soaked romp that would have given Slim Aarons FOMO.

Mezzatore’s chic proprietress Marie-Louise Sciò, the CEO of Pellicano Group, is chiefly responsible for all the buzz surrounding this spot. Since acquiring the Mezzatorre this January and opening in April, Sciò, who has a background in architecture and interior design, quickly gave the hotel a transformative tuneup. “My goal was to create a space that was whimsical in a way,” she says. “And, you know, fun and elegant without being pretentious, which is the same approach I had at Il Pellicano. I always try to nurture a timeless aesthetic, with nothing that goes in or out of fashion.”

Perched on a cliff, this 16th century Moorish-style former watchtower has more than its fair share of photogenic charms: a sapphire swimming cove; glorious saltwater pool; on-site thermal spa; peach Bellini umbrellas that blend into the sunset and signature Pellicano mustard and white striped towels; plus gracious rooms that feel as though you are crashing at a friend’s plush yet unpretentious villa. The place is filled with apropos touches such as Pierre Frey fabric in the tented La Torre restaurant, aqua glass tumblers to match the Mediterranean, and glossy emerald tilework in the thermal spa. “It’s a mix and match of things I liked, put together as you would do in a house,” she says. “I didn’t want to make it feel like it was too ‘done’ and fully decorated in that very perfect interior design manner that they often do in hotels.”

I first spotted the Mezzatorre on the feed of one of my most discerning girlfriends, Alex Merrell, a DJ and the founder of travel platform TREC, who went cavorting there with her pal Shay Mitchell. I quickly booked a last-minute getaway with my workaholic husband. Together with another couple, CNN’s resident globetrotter Bill Weir and fashion executive Kelly Dowd, we felt as though we had stepped into a parallel universe reminiscent of The Talented Mr. Ripley, scenes of which were shot on the island. Ischia immediately had us unwinding, and the Mezzatorre, with its lovely staff clad in bespoke safari-style fatigues and guests all sporting Sciò’s recent Birkenstock collaboration, felt like the most stylish summer camp imaginable. Comparing the destination to its neighbors, I’d say it is less sardine-packed than Positano and much more low-key than Capri.

These are the qualities that also appealed to Sciò. “It’s the real thing and still has something completely authentic about it,” she says, noting that it was once a playground for Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor in its 1950s and 1960s heyday. “But it wasn’t further developed much more. So there’s not all that international retail, and you still find local family restaurants. It’s a very simple island, and very Italian—we consider it a rare gem.”

Indeed, if you do make the sojourn, it is the type of place where recommendations are key, and the best spots are often hidden. Here, a guide to getting swept away with il dolce far niente (the art of doing nothing) in Ischia.

Where to Stay in Ischia

Mezzatorre Hotel and Thermal Spa This island classic recently underwent a stylish revamp. It’s hard to decide what’s more divine: the uni speghetti or the stunning swimming options.

Regina Isabella – Resort Spa Restaurant A secluded five star spot is nestled amongst Mediterranean pinewoods that wins guests over with its private bay and beaches.

Miramare e Castello Hotel Adjacent to the Aragonese Castle and the island’s the historical centre of Ischia Ponte, this seaside spot also offers grand views of the Gulf of Naples and a quirky Wes Anderson-esque mise-en-scene.

Grand Hotel Excelsior Terme A former swinging ‘60s seaside villa of an English aristocrat, the property was more recently transformed by an Italian Count. It still retains its noble roots with rather regal interiors.

Where to Eat in Ischia

Il Pirata This lively boite in the picturesque town of Sant’ Angelo is most beloved for its pizzeria.

Neptunus Dinner is elevated to commedia dell’arte theatre, with everyone from servers to the chef presenting each hearty dish with a spirited Italiano singalong. Even Naomi Campbell and Tina Turner have partaken.

La Baia The restaurant overlooking Mezzatorre’s private bay with a traditional Campania cuisine.

Giardini Eden Dine right on the sea at this spot known for its fresh fruits de mer.

Umberto A Mare A smart restaurant with epic sea views and recalibrated mediterranean cuisine.

Le Vigne di Alberto A historic spot perched on the upper part of the island. The food is simple and menu minimal to allow the ancient flavors to shine.

Seasons This beach restaurant puts a contemporary spin on seafood classics. It also has one of the best sunsets on the island.

La Bella Napoli Located near the port of Forio, this casual spot is most popular for its excellent pizza and home-made cookies.

Il Focolare This hillside slow-food restaurant specializes in grilled meats and Ischia-style rabbit.

Where to Explore

Aragonese A medieval castle built by Hiero I of Syracuse in 474 BC is adjacent to Ischia, at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples. Take a boat ride to this volcanic rocky islet that connects to Ischia by a scenic causeway.

Mount Epomeo The highest mountain on Ischia is believed to be a volcanic horst. It’s blanketed in lush greenery, with local vineyards occupying the slopes.

Giardini La Mortella A former private garden first opened to the public in 1991. It was dreamt up in the 1950s by Susana Walton, wife of the composer William Walton.

Where to Swim

Spiaggia dei Maronti Beach You’ll find some of the best swimming on the southern part of the island. Have lunch at the nearby Belmare restaurant.

Spiaggia di Citara Beach Home to the Poseidon Thermal Gardens, this big and bustling beach is the place to go if you like a scene and some shopping with your lido.

Via Sorgeto Natural Hot Spring If raw, rustic, and remote is more your speed, venture down a precarious staircase to this picturesque cove and wade into healing rock pools, heated from bubbling volcanic activity.

A Guide To Ischia’s Best Beaches

Pescatori Beach, Ischia Ponte

So much perfection in just 17 square miles. The glorious island of Ischia has all the ingredients to concoct a seriously good Italian vacation. The vivid colours of Ischia exude a happy-go-lucky pace you’ll only understand if you’ve grown up on a small island.

The fertile green countryside pockmarked with tufa and strewn with the pink vines of wild-growing Bougainvillea, gracefully dissolves into whitewashed villages and tutti frutti coloured seaside towns. The deep azure blue sky reaches down in greeting to the crystal waters of Ischia’s spiaggias (beaches) and baie (bays).

Beach lovers are spoilt for choice as Ischia’s coastline is formed of golden sandy stretches of beach and twinkling bays; some of the most glorious in the Campania region. The petite island is small enough that you could comfortably visit a different beach every day of a two week vacation.

Villa Italy’s Guide To The Best Beaches on Ischia

Beaches of Ischia Porto & Ischia Ponte

Spiaggia dei Pescatori

Spiaggia dei Pescatori (the fisherman’s beach) is situated close to Ischia Ponte and as the name suggests it’s primarily used by local fisherman to leave their boats on dry land. During the summer months, its also popular with locals and visitors, drawn to Spiaggia dei Pescatori (above photo) for the convivial ambience, lovely views to Procida and the Castello Aragonese, and the many snacks bars and restaurants serving up plates of fried Alici, Spaghetti al Pomodoro or traditional Neapolitan pizza.

Favourite experience: The perfect end to your day on Spiaggia dei Pescatori: saunter into Ischia Ponte (8 minutes walk) for a Gelato alla Stracciatella at Gelateria Ice da Luciano.

Spiaggia di Pagoda

Pagoda Beach shares its location with the iconic venue Blu Jane. A mini boat-shaped disco that has become a popular celebrity hangout and integral part of Ischia’s nightlife: Mick Jagger is said to have visited. Anyway, disco aside; Pagoda Beach is hidden away just a small distance from the harbour of Ischia Porto. It’s one of the smallest beaches on the island, but what it loses on size, it makes up for with beautiful golden sands and an escape from the summer crowds.

Favourite experience: Peace!

Beaches of Forio d’Ischia

Citara Beach, Forio

Spiaggia di Citara

Citara Beach is one of the island’s larger beaches. Surrounded by low cliffs, densely covered in vegetation, Citara is situated just outside of Forio town. There is no shortage of facilities and amenities. You can hire sun loungers and parasols, partake in water sports and take your pick from the many beach bars and restaurants.

Citara Beach is also home to the Poseidon Thermal Gardens, and is one of the few beaches on the island that gets the sun all day.

Favourite experience: Stay for sundowners at a beach bar and enjoy the sensational sunsets.

Cava dell’Isola

You could say you hang out on, rather than relax on Cava dell’Isola (right), as this beach is frequented by the young and energetic, who prefer their beach days full of volleyball, beach rounders, water sports and snorkelling around the cove, and generally much joviality.

The beach is in walking distance from Forio town, just follow the esplanade along. Or five minutes drive and a shimmy down a steep slope from the road.

Favourite experience: Snorkeling and exploring the rock pools and little caves.

Spiaggia San Francesco

San Francesco Beach is the closest beach to Villa Torre dell’Aquila and a favourite spot for families. The fine golden sands shelve gently down to the pristine waters. Towards one end of the beach there are rock pools, which form into natural pools: great for exploring with the kids. And snorkelling at San Francesco is highly recommended.

Favourite experience: Canoeing around the cliffs to explore the caves. Or perhaps swimming off the private deck from the rocks below Villa Torre dell’Aquila (above). Book your stay.

Beaches of Barano d’Ischia

Spiaggia dei Maronti

A three kilometer slender stretch of gleaming sand shelves down to the aquamarine waters at Maronti Beach. This popular beach lies just a short distance from Sant’Angelo and the views to the town are amazing. It’s also home to the Cavascura Natural Springs and caves.

Maronti Beach, Barano d’Ischia

There are free and paid-for zones on Maronti Beach, and access is via water taxi from Sant’Angelo or take a bus or taxi direct and navigate the steep path down to the beach.

Favourite experience: A lazy morning of sun and swim followed by some pore cleansing and relaxation time in the Cavascura caves.

Beaches of Sant’Angelo

Spiaggia delle Fumarole

Step carefully on the sands of Le Fumarole beach, as hot vapours escape from the volcanic basin below. In some parts the sand temperature can reach up to 150º degrees. However, a visit to Le Fumarole is not to be missed, where else can you sunbathe, cure your ailments and cook your lunch on the sand?

Le Fumarole is also the location for the Aphrodite Thermal Gardens. Is there a beach in Ischia that doesn’t have a thermal theme? Hardly. Take the coastal path down from the pretty village of Sant’Angelo, and enjoy the spectacular views on the way.

Favourite experience: Warm sand between your toes and an evening picnic spread out on a blanket under a starry night sky.

Baia di Sorgeto

Bigger is not better in Ischia, as teeny tiny Baia di Sorgeto proves. The warm thermal waters and vapours bubble up through the rocks. Sit back in this natural sauna and feel the reviving power of Ischia’s thermal waters. Reach Baia di Sorgeto via 300 steps down from the village of Panza, or by water taxi from chic Sant’Angelo.

Favourite experience: An evening dip in the thermal waters.

Beaches of Lacco Ameno

Baia di San Montano

Blue hues dominate the enchanting San Montano Bay: cyan skies, turquoise waters and uniformed royal blue parasols line up along the pristine sands. Situated just outside of Lacco Ameno, this is a great beach spot for families with children, with calm seas and good amenities, and certainly one of the prettiest bays on the island.

Favourite experience: Indulge in a visit to the Negombo Spa Park situated above the beach.

Spiaggia Litoranea, Lacco Ameno

Spiaggia Litoranea

Soft golden sands, wonderful views and the pretty town and harbour of Lacco Ameno, make Litoranea Beach one of the most picturesque on Ischia.

Favourite experience: People-watching on the beach followed by some boutique shopping in Lacco Ameno.

💙Baia di Sorgeto - Forio, Ischia, Napoli.

[foxpapa]

Le antiche e affascinanti radici dell'isola d'Ischia raccontate attraverso tre mini puntate di una serie web italiana, "Il paese del bello in tre minuti", con un taglio fiction.

Non sono passate inosservate, in questi giorni, le telecamere di una produzione Teatro Reale, coordinate dal regista Alessandro Rubinetti e da Francesco Principini, già direttore della fotografia di SuperQuark. L'ambientazione è la baia di Sorgeto, a pochi metri dal villaggio greco di Punta Chiarito, dove sono state rinvenute tracce del primo sito della Magna Grecia, risalente all'VIII secolo avanti Cristo. L'episodio si chiamerà proprio “Ischia e la rotta dei Greci”: il regista e un'attrice, Claudia Guidi, passeggiano tra i locali della frazione di Panza, la baia di Sorgeto e punta Chiarito per trovare la giusta ispirazione interpretativa sulle orme dell’antico spirito magnogreco dell’isola. Chiedendosi se siano davvero Pithecusae (da "pithoi", gli antichi vasi) e la sua baia di Sorgeto, sull’antica rotta dei greci, il propulsore delle storie omeriche in Occidente. "I due protagonisti - anticipa Rubinetti - inseguiranno così Ulisse, Palamede, Tifeo e Afrodite, per arrivare alla celebre Coppa di Nestore, prima iscrizione greca d’occidente".

Ilha de Ischia - paraíso de águas termais na Itália

New Post has been published on https://www.izazilli.com/2017/05/25/ilha-de-ischia-paraiso-de-aguas-termais-na-italia/

Ilha de Ischia - paraíso de águas termais na Itália

Águas cristalinas, lama, um relevo montanhoso, pequenas cidades pitorescas e calor. São esses elementos que caracterizam a doce vida na ilha de Ischia, região metropolitana de Nápoles.

Considerada o orgulho da costa Campânia, a pequena ilha não só oferece paisagens maravilhosas como dá a oportunidade de seus visitantes experimentarem diversas águas termais e sua lama terapêutica.

Devido à sua origem vulcânica, Ischia é um destino ideal para os amantes e simpatizantes de tratamentos de beleza naturais. A água encontrada nas nascentes e no fundo do mar é fervente, o que deixa o local repleto de vapor decorrente das rachaduras no chão, e pode ser usado como fim medicinal.

Um dos lugares mais visitados é o Parque Termal Poseidon Gardens, que é rodeado por 20 piscinas, uma vegetação exuberante, praia privada e um spa onde há diversos tratamentos para a beleza corporal e espiritual.

Entre outros parques famosos por fornecerem a mesma estrutura estão o Negombo Thermal, Terme di Cavascura e o Parque Castiglione. Além disso, até mesmo algumas praias são repletas de águas quentes com “poderes curativos”, entre elas as praias Baia di Sorgeto, Cartaromana, Citara, Le Fumarole, Maronti e Sant’Angelo.

No entanto, ainda há diversos lugares para serem descobertos e explorados. Em Ischia é possível visitar o Castello Aragonese que nasce em rochas magmáticas de uma ilhota ligada à principal através de uma ponte de cerca de 200 metros. De lá, é possível ver a fortaleza datada de 474 a.C em toda a sua grandiosidade e beleza junto à vegetação.

Na Idade Média, este castelo foi invadido por sarracenos, povo árabe ou muçulmano, que chegaram em 40 navios e incendiaram o local. Este grande ato de violência é lembrado em todos os anos, no dia 26 de julho, na tradicional festa de Sant’Anna, que tem início com uma procissão de barcos.

Com sua beleza inesperada e sua enigmática geologia vulcânica, a terra que encanta todos os visitantes ainda possui montes cobertos por florestas, jardins e até vinhedos. Ela também é conhecida por receber ilustres visitantes como a chanceler alemã, Angela Merkel, além de ser um dos cenários do segundo volume da tetralogia napolitana da italiana Elena Ferrante, umas das escritoras mais bem-sucedidas e apreciadas da atualidade.

Entre os principais pontos turísticos de Ischia ainda estão a Igreja de Soccorso, com diferentes estilos arquitetônicos; Forio, vila que abriga uma galeria de arte, um museu municipal e o farol; Ischia Ponte, centro da cidade, onde é possível encontrar igrejas e edifícios históricos; Monte Epomeo, local ideal para desfrutar a beleza do pôr do sol; e o Aqueduto Romano, construído com uma dupla fileira de arcos, a estrutura fornece água potável para a população e representa a história da engenharia e arquitetura ocidental.

Para chegar em Ischia de avião, o aeroporto mais próximo é o internacional de Nápoles, e é preciso agendar um voo com cerca de um mês de antecedência da data da viagem. Para fazer a travessia até a ilha, há barcos que ligam as duas cidades e desembarcam geralmente em Ischia Porto. De acordo com site de turismo TripAdvisor, os melhores hotéis para se hospedar em Ischia são: “Pagoda Hotel&Residence; “San Montano Resort &SPA”; “Hotel San Giorgio Terme”; “Hotel Parco Smeraldo Terme”; “Family Spa Hotel Le Canne”; “Hotel Tritone Wellness Center”; “Hotel Ulisse”; “Delfini Strand Hotel Terme”; “Grand Hotel Punta Molino”, entre outros.

A ilha de Ischia está entre as 30 melhores da Europa, segundo seleção do site de reservas e classificação de acomodações Trivago. O preço das passagens custam entre R$ 2300 a R$ 4800.
