Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa
Glamorous Italian coastal retreat with serious thermal wellness credentials. Interiors are fresh and light — brass details, retro touches, custom Ischian ceramics — designed by Pellicano creative director Marie-Louise Sciò. The vibe hovers between old-money Italian cool and genuine wellness sanctuary.
Request a room in the main watchtower — centrally located, stunning views, and no long hike through the park to reach the bar and restaurant
Why It Matters
One of the only hotels on Ischia with a private thermal spring feeding three hydrotherapy pools directly on-site. The watchtower itself houses the spa. Truman Capote called it 'a strangely enchanted place.' Part of the Leading Hotels of the World and on the 2020 Condé Nast Traveler Hot List. Film director Luchino Visconti loved the bay so much he built his home, La Colombaia, at the top of the hotel's park.
Mezzatorre sits on the northwest tip of Ischia on a rocky promontory above its own private cove, about 18 sea miles from Naples. The main building is built around the ruins of a 16th-century Aragonese watchtower, and the rest of the property — 52 rooms and suites spread between the tower and park cottages — is tucked into 17 acres of Mediterranean pine forest. It's a seasonal hotel, open April through late October, under the care of the Pellicano Hotels group since they took over management.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
Located either in the park cottages or in the watchtower with partial sea views. Pine-forest air, light interiors finished with Ischian ceramics and custom textiles by Marie-Louise Sciò. The entry point at Mezzatorre, but supremely comfortable. Air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safe, free Wi-Fi.
Deluxe Room
Set in the park cottages — not the watchtower — with direct views over the San Montano bay. Upgraded views are the key draw here. Light, fresh interiors with the same Sciò-designed details.
Deluxe Suite
Available in either the watchtower or cottages — sea views either way, plus a generous bedroom and open living room with sofa bed. Good for those who want the suite experience with flexibility on setting: forest quiet in the cottages or panoramic tower views.
Junior Suite
Views over the hotel's private bay, a sun-filled bedroom, and a separate living room. The 16th-century architectural elements — circular bay walls, arched windows — show up in some of these suites. A meaningful jump in space and light.
Superior Room
Available in either the cottages within the park or in the watchtower. Step up from Classic with enhanced finishes and placement. Full Ischia mystique, impeccably curated. A good pick for guests wanting more polish without committing to suite pricing.
The Bellevue Suite
One of Ischia's finest private terraces is the headline here. Generous space, sea views, and a terrace that justifies the name. Refined Mediterranean-style furnishings with the Ischian tile work the hotel is known for.
The Grand Suite
Mezzatorre's signature accommodation and the one designed to impress. Full Pellicano Hotels details, the best views on property, and the maximum space the hotel offers. If you're going to splurge, this is it.
