Book Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa with VIP Benefits

The thermal area has pools with water jets at 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, alongside a seawater pool. A Turkish bath, sauna and sensory showers form part of the bathing facilities. The Kneipp pools pair hot thermal water with cold seawater. Sessions last 50 minutes and must be booked in advance. Access to this area is for guests aged 12 and over, and the hotel does not permit entry during pregnancy.

Mud treatments use mud matured in thermal water for at least six months. These appointments take place in the morning and require a medical consultation. The spa also provides facial and body treatments.

Outside, the heated pool contains seawater and overlooks the bay. The hotel's waterfront deck gives direct access to the sea, with daybeds and blue-and-white striped umbrellas along the shore. Paddleboards and snorkeling equipment are available for exploring the water. The deck and pool terrace sit within the rocky coastal setting, with the wooded estate rising behind them. San Montano, nearby, is the closest public beach.

Mezzatorre has 48 rooms and suites in total. The accommodation collection ranges from Classic, Superior and Deluxe Rooms to Junior and Deluxe Suites and the two named signature suites. Across the tower and cottages, Marie-Louise Sciò's interiors combine Italian furnishings with brass details and touches of retro design.

Classic Rooms have 23 square meters for two guests, with views into the park or partial sea views. White and earth tones form the palette, with streamlined furnishings that leave the rooms feeling light.

Deluxe Rooms measure 24 to 30 square meters for two guests, with sea views. Their interiors vary: some bathrooms use checked Italian tiles, while others have pale limestone finishes. Each room has air conditioning, a Bluetooth radio and a Faber machine for coffee before heading out.

Junior Suites span 34 to 41 square meters in the watchtower or cottages, with sea views and space for up to three guests. A French-size sofa bed sits in the living area. Arched windows and hand-painted Italian tiles refer to the building's history, while handwoven bed canopies and throws add texture. Some Junior Suites have bathtubs.

The 40-square-meter Deluxe Suites accommodate up to three guests and have an open living area with a French sofa bed. Tower suites are close to Piazzetta La Torre, while cottage suites have glimpses of La Colombaia, the blue-and-white villa once owned by film director Luchino Visconti. Sea views are part of this category. In-room dining and laundry services are available during the stay.

On one of the watchtower's higher floors, the Bellevue Suite has a wraparound terrace facing San Montano Bay and the Gulf of Naples. Loungers and umbrellas furnish this outdoor space. Inside, its 45 square meters hold a king bed and living area, with room for up to three guests. A light limestone bathroom, walk-in closet and Gaggia coffee machine complete the suite.

The Grand Suite occupies 97 square meters within the old tower, with a separate 80-square-meter terrace. A canvas awning shades the outdoor space above the Gulf of Naples. Inside are a bedroom with a king four-poster bed, a living room and bathrooms with bathtubs. The suite accommodates up to three guests.

Chef Giuseppe D'Abundo draws on Ischia and Campania at Ristorante La Torre. Seasonal fish and seafood include snapper, pezzogna and squid, alongside dishes with roots in the island's home cooking. Coniglio all'Ischitana, or Ischia-style rabbit, and pennoni pasta with Neapolitan ragout feature among the restaurant's specialties. An extensive wine list accompanies the food. La Torre serves breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. and dinner from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Reserve your dinner table ahead of arrival; the restaurant recommends casual-elegant clothing for the evening.

Ristorante & Bar La Baia serves lunch facing the sea beneath a roof of large palm fronds. The catch of the day can be prepared as carpaccio or cooked to order, while tubettoni pasta comes with mussels, pumpkin flowers and pecorino. Lunch runs from 12:30 to 3 p.m. The setting is informal, though guests are asked to wear a shirt, and tables should be reserved. The bar opens at 10:30 a.m. and serves until 6 p.m.

Bar La Torre occupies a terrace looking over the Gulf of Naples. Bar manager Massimo Messina's team serves cocktails, including the Mezzatorre Spritz, from 3 p.m. until midnight. The tower piazzetta provides an outdoor setting for an aperitivo before dinner, with the water below.

The gym has equipment for both cardiovascular exercise and strength training, with personal trainers available. A practice combining yoga and Pilates takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tennis is played with views toward the Gulf of Naples, while the paths through the greenery provide routes for walking or jogging.

Marie-Louise Sciò also curates the hotel boutique. Its selection covers eveningwear, beachwear and everyday clothing, alongside design objects and pieces from ISSIMO, the group's lifestyle collection.

The hotel is on the island's northwest side, near Forio and Lacco Ameno. A shuttle connects it with Lacco Ameno. Giardini La Mortella and the village of Sant'Angelo are among the places to explore beyond the estate.

From Naples Airport, an arranged transfer can take you to Molo Beverello for the hydrofoil, with a car meeting you on Ischia. A car-and-ferry transfer is another option. For arrival directly at the hotel's pontoon, a private car can connect with a motorboat at Pozzuoli. Crossing and journey times depend on sailing schedules, traffic and weather.

Mezzatorre operates seasonally. Coordinate the hotel stay with the island crossing before arranging the mainland part of your journey. For a late flight into Naples, discuss the available connections in advance rather than assuming a same-evening arrival at the hotel.
