Around us

The natural beauties, the Maddalena pine wood, the country paths leading to the discovery of the unique plant world of the island of Ischia are here, all around us.

Small and large beaches, the Englishmen’s beach, the extensive Castiglione spa park and the ancient Bagnitiello spa establishment, an amazingly blue sea, hot water springs surfacing at the seaside are all here, a mere few steps from us. The ancient medieval village of Sant’Alessandro, the right-hand bank of the port with its social night-life, the elegant Ischia historical centre, luxury boutiques, open-air bars, the sunny streets leading to the Aragonese Castle, amid 18th century mansions and sea views. This is where the very heart of Ischia is found, right there for the taking. The dainty Liberty style villas facing onto the littoral road, the restaurants under the stars, the paths leading uphill, the beaches and the sea palafittes, the most ancient spa establishment on the island: Casamicciola is just around the corner. And then the Hotel Grifo, at the centre of paradise.
