Come and bathe in Mezzatorre’s cove and thermal pools, breathe the air fragrant with jasmine and wild thyme, discover Ischia’s best kept secrets.
Trot down the steps to the sea, swim across our secluded bay and dry off your salty skin in the sunlight, returning through the pine wooded park. We have seven hectares for guests to stroll and loll in, at leisure. Invigorate your spirit and feed your soul in Ischia’s secret nature spot.
A clay tennis court is shaded by green trees, the gym has a delicious view over the Gulf of Naples and our sea water pool is heated to a temperate 30 degrees. Swim with the coral torre soaring into the sky, blue bay below, and the fragrance of jasmine in the sea air.
The cultured and curious have long enjoyed the special Ischian fresh beauty, and something more, Truman Capote called it '…a strangely enchanted place'.
Design
Interiors are light, cool and calm with just a hint of retro charm in the detailing, here a brass lamp and mirror, there an illustrated book of matches. Beds are designed with a deep sleep spell, a place to refresh. Bathrooms feature an eclectic display of Italian tiles, otherwise opulent interiors are on view in a heavyweight copy of Mondadori’s Cabana.
Outside the crenellated coral heights of the torre soak up the Mediterranean sun, touches of that delicious pinkish hue appear on parasols and cushions around the piazzettas, each spot an invitation for guests to relax and chat.
The bay-side Ristorante & Bar La Baia is shaded in giant palm fronds, Bar La Torre is a neat quisibeve tented beneath striped tapering pennans, reminiscent of medieval jousts, a mix of Mezzatorre’s soul, sea and history.
“Hotels are like people. If they have a character and a point of view, you connect. If they’re just pretty girls with nothing to say, you don’t.”
