Mezzatorre occupies a coral-red Aragonese watchtower first raised in the 16th century, perched on Ischia’s north-west tip amid seven hectares of Mediterranean maquis.
Vaulted ceilings, crenellated verandas and sun-bleached terracotta façades frame three heated seawater pools and a thermal spa that channels island mud and mineral springs into bespoke treatments.
Creative director Marie-Louise Sciò’s signature simplicity—whitewashed walls punctuated with brass accents and locally crafted textiles—lends each of the 52 rooms and suites a serene, insider-only ambiance.
Guests praise bespoke wellness programmes and the complimentary shuttle service to Lacco Ameno, while spa-focused couples, discerning gourmets and families alike laud the attentive Italian hospitality—though some note steep steps; a golf-cart service helps navigate the hilly terrain.
