A short ferry ride from the hustle and bustle of Naples, Ischia is the ideal location for anyone in search of a relaxing and restorative retreat. Known as the Green Island because of its lush vegetation and breathtaking scenery, Ischia has vibrant lemon trees, quaint villages, beautiful beaches and unforgettable views at every turn.
Whether you choose to hike through its picture-perfect volcanic landscapes or relax in one of its natural hot springs, this is the place to kick back, take it easy and enjoy the sweeter side of life.
WHERE TO STAY
The four-star Hotel Terme Tritone sits right on the seafront in the bay of San Francesco in Forio, and guests can access its private beach and clear waters in just a few steps. Founded by the Masuccis in 1970 and still family-run, the luxury hotel has been a haven for island visitors for more than 50 years, with loyal guests returning year after year.
You can stay in the hotel itself, with balconies overlooking the gardens or the sea, or in a separate 15-room villa. We checked into a garden view room, complete with its own terrace, before heading to the Bar Il Mosaico, where we took in the stunning palm tree-lined view from the panoramic terrace while enjoying a pre-dinner Hugo Spritz.
A stay at Hotel Terme Tritone gives you access to its wellness centre, and for the full experience we recommend taking a dip in its sulphurous pools, Turkish baths and saunas to rejuvenate body and soul. Or for something a little more luxe, try mud-bath therapy, cryotherapy or a hot stone massage. High-tech beauty treatments are also available.
