The kitchen, the snacks, the wines
In the painstaking attention to detail which the Castagna family dedicates to running the hotel, much more than attention is dedicated to the restaurant. Every day the kitchen offers typical dishes from the Island seafood culture. Our buffets display vegetables and fruits skilfully cultivated on family land, all washed down with excellent, home-made wine which takes its name from the area in which the "Crateca" vineyards stand. We periodically organise trips for a visit to our vineyards and on site tasting.

Following suggestions from our guests who, after a plentiful breakfast and whilst awaiting a supper even richer in variety, quality and quantity, do not want to eat a heavy lunch, the Snack Service was born. At lunch the guests can select from a wide range of fresh, seasonal dishes, a first course, a second course or an excellent seafood dish to celebrate a holiday, a special occasion or simply to pamper themselves with our culinary arts. On nice days the snack is served in the open air on our splendid terrace with an exceptional view over the Lacco Ameno “Mushroom”.

Our wine: Crateca White and Crateca Red.

The cellars of Crateca
“From the vineyards of Crateca you can admire all the beauty and true essence of Ischia from above, with beautiful views and an intact vegetation, in the evening there is a myriad of stars that are difficult to imagine for those who live in the city”.
(Review on Trip Advisor of one of our hosts September 2014)

Crateca is a promontory between 250 and 450 metres above sea level, at the foot of the Epomeo in the locality Fango in Lacco Ameno, where the farm Cantine di Crateca was built. It covers 5 hectares of land, and it is cultivated as a vineyard, vegetable garden and orchard and it provides one of the most spectacular sites of the island of Ischia. This site was created by the brothers Arnaldo, Piergiovanni and Giampaolo Castagna, entrepreneurs who chose to invest in the tradition of the island’s agriculture to return the spectacular area to its original purpose. The soil is of excellent quality, since it has a strong minerality and it is loose: vines love this type of soil which allow its roots, up to 3-4 mt deep, to get around and find water.

The Crateca estate has been used to grow vineyards for centuries: the locality of Fango is, indeed, best suited to the cultivation of vines and the careful work of recovery has allowed us to return the estate to its ancient splendour. The perfectly recovered dry stone walls serve to frame an exceptional rural scenario: the vineyard and garden were redesigned with the mastery of the highest farming tradition and alternate the production of vegetables, salads, artichokes, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, eggplants, and fruit trees according to the rhythm of the seasons.

The winery is located in the characteristic grey-green ancient stone farmhouse and contains the warm and welcoming atmosphere that only the ancient Ischian cellars can transmit. Very pleasant in the summer when it is very cool, and in spring and autumn when we gather around the fireplace where Giampaolo Castagna personally prepares the food for his guests.

All guests of the spa hotel La Pergola can participate in excursions and visits to Cantine di Crateca, followed by tastings and culinary events organised on a weekly basis.
