All “stars” of the Eden Garden

The “levanter” is not just a wind: the sailors and anglers know the morning and Eastern breeze very well. Soft and warm, this breath warmed only by the first sun of the day helps to create a special microclimate, ideal for a swim in the clear sea. It is like the bath of awakening, an immersion in nature: it is invigorating and refreshing.

There is a charming place where feelings change into emotions, it is the Eden Garden. His cardinal point is the East of the island of Ischia. Its distinguishing features are the beauty of the environment such as the Sant’Anna rocks, covered with pioneer plants, which rise up to a few meters in the wake of the ancient placid bay of Cartaromana with its archaeological park. The area housed a port and a market town of the Roman Empire.

In front, there is the small islet of the Aragonese Castle, with its glorious history. Behind, in an effect of geographical triangulation, there is the Guevara Tower.
The strength of these magnificent monuments and the energy of the surrounding landscape welcome, like a hug, the water park of Eden. There are four swimming pools at different temperatures, which reflects the colors of the garden, overlooked by the windows of the finished rooms: a truly exclusive retreat. The restaurant is separated from the sea, thanks to an old wall and has an “annex” with a table for two; prepared right on the rock closer: a true ode to passion. The rustic and elegant environment, with “cane trellis” and sails of coverage, changes with the passing of time: at lunch, the style is sporty, free, sailor. In the evening, with the light of candles, the atmosphere is romantic, loving. In addition, it is at this time, at the end of the classic summer day characterized by chat, relax, tan and dips, which come back on all the “stars” of Eden.
They are the stars, or the characters of the jet set, who have loved and continue to love the size reserved, elegant and attractive atmosphere of this place that was designed by legendary Ugo Germani, pioneer of elite tourism. Here all are landed, from great director, screenwriter and film producer Billy Wilder to excellent Jack Lemmon. Then, Aristóteles Onassis and Jacqueline Kennedy; President of Alfa Romeo, Giuseppe Eugenio Luraghi and Mr. Gianni Agnelli wih his family. Wonderful and fascinating Caroline of Monaco, Cybill Shepherd and Hilary Swank. Yet, Barbra Streisand, Don Johnson, Val Kilmer, to remain in the movie world, along with Luigi and Cristina Comencini. Moreover, how can you forget charming Gunther Sachs or the visit of Sting with Trudie Styler Sting? In this blender of VIPs are Franco Califano, Peppino Di Capri, Fred Bongusto that here were customary in the seventies and eighties. In addition, the formation of ... footballers led by Maradona. After him, at Eden, landed Lavezzi, Hamsik and others. A long list of well-known faces and a joyous celebration that continues more blue as the sea rippled by the breeze of the south.
