Ischia: Italy's Island Escape

Ischia is a magical island in Italy, brimming with picturesque beauty and charm. Known for its stunning landscapes, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking views, it perfectly blends natural beauty with cultural heritage, making it a truly special place to visit.

WHAT TO DO?

During our visit to Ischia, we spent an entire day at Giardino Eden. This spot offers a unique experience with its privacy and comfortable sun-beds overlooking the beautiful Castillo Aragonés de Ischia, where you can relax in swimwear amidst the therapeutic warm pools.

The sunset at Giardino Eden is absolutely incredible, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. We enjoyed jumping into the sea, sipping refreshing Aperol Spritz, and had an amazing Italian pasta al pomodoro for lunch. This place was recommended by a local who insisted we shouldn't miss it. Plus, our photoshoot for Sommer Swim was taken right here.

I also suggest renting a boat and heading towards the Mezzatorre Hotel for the best sunset view. The panoramic view is breathtaking and will leave you in awe of Ischia's beauty.

For those looking to explore nearby attractions, I highly recommend visiting Giardini Poseidon Terme. This popular hotspot offers a relaxing and rejuvenating experience with its various pools, natural thermal waters, and spa treatments.

Another must visit is Baia di Sorgeto, renowned for its natural thermal springs. These hot springs mix with seawater to create naturally warm pools with therapeutic properties, attracting both locals and tourists.

INSIDER TIPS

For a fantastic dining experience, visit La Locanda di Vito, where we enjoyed the best tomato burrata salad and famous spaghetti alle vongole.

For the best lemon pasta, head to Ristorante Pizzeria La Bella Napoli al Porto.
