The ExpertoItaly view

Leisurely days among Ischia’s gardens

Walk through Mediterranean gardens to breakfast, swim in the pool and return to your own terrace before dinner. Botania’s rooms and suites occupy ten low white maisons, with greenery shaping daily life around the hotel.

Thermal bathing, garden paths and good food invite you to take your time. Il Mirto offers vegetarian fine dining and holds a Michelin Green Star, while Il Corbezzolo and Nonna Marì bring Mediterranean and Ischian cooking to the table.

We recommend Botania for couples, friends and families with older children who enjoy gardens, bathing and leisurely hotel days. Children are welcome from ten years old.

Best for

Couples, wellness breaks, garden lovers, vegetarian travellers and anyone seeking a quiet base on Ischia.

Think carefully if
