Hotels Ischia, Guesthouses Ischia and Residences Ischia

Ischia, the main town of the homonymous island, is situated south east, just on the slopes of Montagnone Hill.  Ischia Porto overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and is home to a picturesque tourist harbour from which plenty of motorships sail to Naples and Pozzuoli, while Ischia Ponte is a picturesque fishing village situated on a islet which is connected with Ischia through the Aragonese Bridge.

Ischia's outstanding environmental beauties, thermal springs and wide and well-groomed beaches attract large numbers of tourists every year. This is the main reason why the island gathers a remarkably wide array of accommodation facilities which are able to suit even their most demanding requirements. Ischia Porto's coastline is scattered with elegant 4-star hotels, welcoming 3-star guesthouses and charming inns which are situated a short distance from the beach. Intimate budget hotels and bed and breakfasts give tourists the possibility to spend pleasant holidays here at reasonable prices, while offering them special promotions and all-inclusive packages.

The volcanic Ischia is the biggest island in the Bay of Naples. Its volcanic soil makes the surrounding natural landscape, which is made up of fertile plains and rough and indented coastlines, even more fascinating. The thermal properties of the natural springs of the island have been appreciated since ancient times, and are currently employed in the beauty treatments and therapies carried out at local spa establishments, thermal parks and springs. Apart from thermal treatments, which are available all year round, tourists will also have the possibility to take advantage of compelling, well-equipped beaches and absorbing recreational activities and cultural events.
Tourists won't miss the opportunity to visit the nearby islet of Ischia Ponte, which is easily accessible through the bridge commissioned by Alfonso d’Aragona in 1438 in order to connect the town with the Aragonese Castle, the city's most important monument. This ancient fortress was built in 474 BC by Gerone, Syracuse's Tyrant, and was then occupied by Romans and Neapolitans. In '400, the Aragonese fortified the structure, settled in the islet and built 13 churches. In 1912, the Castle was bought by a private citizen and is now open to the general public, who can visit it either through an impressive gallery or through a modern and comfortable lift.
The most modern part of the city develops between Via Roma and Corso Vittoria Colonna, which are both scattered with glamorous shops and boutiques and open-air cafés. West of the tourist harbour are excellent restaurants, trendy clubs and discos which in summer attract visitors belonging to every age group. The traditional inns of the surrounding area give tourists the possibility to taste the so-called Epomeo, a fine golden local wine. Ischia often arranges absorbing shows and events, such as cinema festivals, musical reviews, theatrical representations, concerts and plenty of sporting events which attract both experts and amateurs.
Those travelling by car can drive along the scenic route which departs from Ischia Porto, a 30-km-long itinerary which crosses enchanting seaside resorts and hilltop towns surrounded by the lush vegetation of the hinterland.
