Description
This iconic luxury hotel was originally a noble residence, transformed by Count Micangeli in the late 1950s. Located in a lush park with mediterranean and tropical plants and flowers, facing the sea and a few steps from the central Corso Vittoria Colonna, it stands out for the elegance and refinement of the interiors. In the spacious and bright halls, the harmonious contrast between classically inspired furniture and contemporary paintings creates a refined yet warm atmosphere for a top-level hospitality.

Rooms
All rooms enjoy magnificent views of the sea or of the lush hills. The decoration is inspired by classic forms lightened by fresh Mediterranean colors, as in the most beautiful noble houses of Ischia, and they are all equipped with air conditioning, minibar, sat TV with a selection of SKY programs, telephone, safe, and wifi. The deluxe rooms have a sitting corner and often a very comfortable walk-in closet. The spacious suites junior can be open plan or with a separate living room and bedroom and some are on two levels. The most particular ones are located on the attic floor and have huge panoramic terraces: the "Admiral's Suite" dominates the Gulf of Naples, the "Castellan's Suite" has a direct view of the Castle and the "Sea and Mountains Suite" embraces both the sea and the green hills of Ischia. The most beautiful and exclusive accommodation is the Grand Suite, a 150 sqm apartment with two bedrooms and two panoramic terraces, where refinement, warmth and brightness blend harmoniously.
In addition, some of the Superior rooms and Junior Suites have a sitting corner.
Most of the Suites, with a size of more than 40 sqm, are located on the attic floor and boast spacious terraces with a magnificent view: from the Aragonese Castle to Capri, embracing the whole Gulf of Naples. They are all endowed with a wardrobe cabin and a sitting corner, in some cases separate from the sleeping area. Along with the standard comfort, the Suites have a Jacuzzi bathtub. The most exclusive suites are the “Suite Ammiraglio” (Admiral’s Suite) – whose very generous terrace all around the room will make you feel as if you were on a ship’s deck, the “Suite del Castellano” (Castle Suite) enjoying a direct view of the Aragonese Castle and the “Suite Mare e Monti” (Sea & Mountain Suite) whose terrace unfolds both the sea and the green hills of Ischia.

Pools and beach
A lush park always in bloom and a large solarium surround the outdoor pool (28°C), where you can spend wonderful days of sheer relaxation. Alternatively the indoor pool in the SPA with hydromassage jets and waterfall is available for a warm embrace in therapeutic thermal water (35°C). But do not forget to enjoy the clear blue sea water at our private beach, only a few steps away from the outdoor pool.
Inside the SPA area you find the indoor pool: with thermal water at a temperature of circa 36°C, underwater jets and a waterfall for cervical massage, it is considered highly therapeutic.
One of the most attractive facilities is certainly the private beach of the hotel. The fine sandy beach, equipped with sun-beds and umbrellas, is located just opposite the hotel and can be reached directly from the pool by walking along a tree-lined path. A small snack will provide you the taste of the typical cuisine of Ischia also on the beach.

The Belvedere restaurant and the bars
At the Belvedere restaurant (also open to non-resident guests) our chef Libera Iovine reinterprets traditional recipes with measured creativity, favoring pasta, fish and vegetables from the garden among the ingredients. A delicious lunch or a romantic dinner will be ensured not only by the uniqueness of the flavors, but also by the beauty of the view and by the suggestions of our sommelier. For a tasty break or a refreshing cocktail during the day, the ideal meeting points are "L’Onda" bar on the beach or "Gli Oleandri" bar by the pool. In the evening it is possible to treat yourself to special emotions while sipping the imaginative creations of our barmen in the elegant interiors or on the rotunda immersed in the greenery of the “Americano” bar, also open to non-resident guests.
