The ExpertoItaly view

Thermal bathing and rooftop afternoons

Begin with breakfast, spend time in the thermal pool and take a book up to the rooftop. Palazzo Manzi stands in Bagni di Gurgitello, Casamicciola’s historic thermal quarter, with tiled interiors and courtyards leading to its spa and places to relax.

Dine among the olive trees at Gli Ulivi, explore the island’s gardens or enjoy a day at the beach. We recommend Palazzo Manzi for couples and travellers who would enjoy a holiday with plenty of time for bathing and treatments.

Planning your stay

Spa time and days around Ischia

Combine the thermal facilities and rooftop pool with the island’s villages, gardens and coast.

Best for

Bathing, treatments and good food

Spend a leisurely day at the hotel, moving between the spa, rooftop and restaurant, or return for a swim after exploring Ischia.

Setting

In Casamicciola’s historic spa quarter

The seafront, port and beaches are away from the hotel. A scheduled shuttle connects selected beaches and town centres, while taxis and arranged transfers make exploring straightforward without a car.

Ideal stay

Four or five nights on the island

Four or five nights leave time for the spa and rooftop pool alongside island outings. Three make a shorter stay after Naples or Sorrento.

Travelling with children

Family rooms and outdoor swimming

Children are welcome and can use the outdoor pool; the spa and indoor thermal pool are reserved for adults. Connecting Superior and Premier rooms are available for families.

Rooms and availability

A balcony over the town or a garden-patio outlook

Soft island colours and Vietri ceramics give the rooms a Mediterranean character. Choose a historic-centre balcony, a garden-patio outlook or the extra living space of a suite. Book early for the best choice of rooms and connecting arrangements.
