Il Moresco opened in 1952 when Sandro Petti transformed a Moorish-tower into a whitewashed, blue-shuttered oasis beside the sea.

Framed by century-old pine trees and tropical plantings, its two kidney-shaped outdoor pools—set on vibrant terracotta decks among palms and bougainvillea—and an indoor thermal grotto under a glass-paneled vine canopy promise restorative tranquillity.

Just 200 m from Ischia Porto’s Corso Vittoria Colonna and two minutes on foot from the harbour, Il Moresco combines secluded spa comforts with effortless island exploration.

Guests can day-trip by hydrofoil to colourful Procida in 15 minutes, stroll to Castello Aragonese’s medieval battlements in 15 minutes, or visit Russell Page’s La Mortella Gardens just 7 km away.
