Forio Italy West Europe
BeachLuxury

Set on 17 acres (7 hectares) ofof picture-perfect-perfect land with lush Mediterranean greenery and a private cliffside setting, Mezzatorre Ha stunningel is an Italian seasideing type.

A quick ferry ride from Naples, and you arrive at the picturesque island of Ischia. Often overlooked by tourists rushing to the Amalfi Coast and Capri Island, Ischia is the largest island in the Bay of Naples and has much to offer.

Imagine that it was colonized by the Greeks, Syrausansa, Romans, Saracens, Turks, and Aragonese.

With so many nations fighting for this land, it must be special. It could be the therapeutic hot spring waters (which Mezzatorre Hotel has utilized in its pools), the mud full of minerals, or the rich flora and fauna.

In addition, Ischia's attractive landscape and diverse architectural heritage make it a desirable destination.
