Planning your stay
This is a hotel where location and facilities work together: the day can move easily between the gardens, thermal water, sea and town.
Historic interiors, attentive service and quiet places to sit make this an inviting stay for couples and travellers who enjoy a calm hotel atmosphere.
Read in the mature gardens, then walk to Corso Vittoria Colonna for shopping, drinks or dinner.
Outdoor pools, an indoor thermal pool, spa treatments and the hotel’s private beach make it easy to alternate active sightseeing with quieter days at the property.
Arrival requires only a short road transfer from Ischia Porto. Local restaurants and shops are walkable, while taxis, buses or private excursions can be used for more distant parts of the island.
Rooms and suites
Choose a room with outdoor space or a suite with room to linger. Early booking gives you the best choice of outlooks and individual terraces; we will explain the available layout when arranging your stay.
Designed for two guests, Superior rooms have a furnished balcony or semi-private outside area. Views may face the gardens, village or sea, so the outlook should be considered when choosing.
Deluxe rooms add a sitting corner and greater floor space. They accommodate two or three guests and may overlook either the gardens or the sea, with a balcony or private outside space.
Junior Suites offer around 37–42 square metres and a living area, sometimes separate or on a different level. Choose a garden or sea outlook, with a balcony or terrace.
The 150-square-metre Grand Suite has two bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, a living room, small kitchen and two panoramic terraces. It accommodates two or three adults.
Life at the hotel
Spend a leisurely day in the gardens, enjoy a swim and look forward to Mediterranean cooking at dinner. Town restaurants and evening walks are close by.
Mature trees and flowering plants surround the former residence, with places to read, enjoy a drink and pause between the pool and beach.
The hotel’s principal restaurant draws on fish, vegetables, pasta and ingredients from regional producers. Its dining room and terrace overlook the park, swimming pool and Gulf of Naples.
Outdoor pools sit within the gardens, while the spa includes an indoor pool filled with thermal water at approximately 35°C. Treatments draw on thermal water, essential oils and marine or Mediterranean ingredients.

The private beach is a short walk through the property from the outdoor pool, making sea swimming an easy part of the day.
Location and logistics
Ischia Ponte and the Castello Aragonese are easily included during the stay.
The hotel is a short walk from Corso Vittoria Colonna’s restaurants and shops. Explore town on foot and return to the shelter of the gardens.
Most visitors arrive by hydrofoil or ferry at Ischia Porto, followed by a short taxi or arranged transfer to the hotel. Naples and Pozzuoli have year-round sea connections, while other routes across the Bay of Naples are more seasonal and should be checked against the final travel dates.
Explore without a car, using taxis, buses or private touring for the island’s other towns. We can arrange your mainland transfer, sea crossing and final journey to the hotel together.
Plan beyond the hotel
The wider journey
Four nights leave time for the hotel and an island outing. Stay five to seven for more thermal bathing, town visits and days on the water.
Rome, Naples and Ischia form a natural sequence. High-speed rail connects Rome with Naples, and Naples is the practical gateway for the sea crossing to Ischia. Ending at Excelsior Belvedere allows the pace to slow after the museums, historic streets and archaeological sites of the two cities.
Allow three or four nights in Rome, two or three in Naples and five or more on Ischia for time to enjoy each stay. For a week away, Naples and Ischia make a rewarding combination.
