Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa: A Watchtower on Ischia

Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa occupies a dramatic 16th-century watchtower on a pine-clad headland at Forio d'Ischia, the volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples famed for its thermal waters. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader from the Pellicano group, it pairs that romantic setting with its own rocky bay and a serious thermal spa.

The dining draws on Campania. La Torre Restaurant offers fine dining rooted in regional traditions under chef Massimo D'Abundo; La Baia serves the catch of the day over the pool and bay; and Bar La Torre pours a magical aperitivo over the Gulf of Naples and San Montano Bay at sunset.

For a romantic, thermal-spa escape on Ischia, Mezzatorre is a standout.
