Location
Ischia is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the largest of the four Phlegraean islands and located at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples which is about 18 km away. It is the third most populous Italian island and has very old historical origins, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds, architecture, castles, churches and museums located throughout the territory. Thanks to its volcanic nature (Monte Epomeo), it is among the best known thermal centres in the world, as well as boasting a crystalline sea and a mild temperature, making it a tourist destination for all seasons. The offer for visitors to the island is truly surprising, ranging from the historic centres of the main towns such as Forio, Sant’Angelo, Ischia Ponte to the numerous thermal parks and to the more or less famous beaches scattered along the coast (Citara, San Francesco, Cava dell’Isola and numerous others). Well worth a visit are the famous La Mortella gardens, located on the promontory of Punta Zaro, a park with numerous rare species of local and subtropical vegetation, among the most beautiful in Italy. The geographic conformation makes Ischia particularly suitable for excursions on foot that allow you to combine cultural itineraries with the exploration of beautiful scenarios of sea and mountain.
The island is connected to the mainland by ferries (for those embarking with their car) and hydrofoils that depart from Naples or Pozzuoli with high frequency, taking you to the island in about an hour and a half (ferry) or much less by hydrofoil.
The villa is located about 1.2 km from the dock of Ischia Porto and can be reached on foot along an uphill paved walkway or, by car, via the same paved road or with a different route of approximately 5 km. It is also possible by taking a taxi at the dock from which buses also depart, taking you around the island quickly and easily.

Exterior
The garden, extending over an area of about 900 sq m, is fenced and designed to guarantee total privacy and full use of all the set-up areas. Constructed on two terraces, it is designed to always guarantee a view of the sea and is a veritable riot of palm and cypress trees, of sago palms, bougainvillea, euphorbia and hibiscus which surround the swimming pool with a further corner of rock garden in lava stone which recalls the elements of the surrounding territory. Corners of succulent plants and lively blooms decorate the cosy patio with dining area on the ground floor. The solarium that surrounds the swimming pool and the gazebo, furnished with a large ceramic table hand-painted with flowers and lemons, representative of Vietri ceramics, is equipped with sunbeds and comfortable seating to enjoy the wonderful panorama overlooking the Port of Ischia and the whole Gulf of Naples.
The south-facing swimming pool with full sea view lies on a terrace next to the villa. Rectangular and measuring 4 x 13 m with the depth varying from 1 to 2 m, it is lined in light-coloured PVC and has chlorine purification and steps for access to the water. Internally and along the entire edge are bright spotlights, allowing the pool to be used in the evening as well. The solarium area is equipped with sunbeds and small tables, guaranteeing full relaxation in the sun. The area is completed by a cold-water shower and a wrought-iron gazebo with a splendid handcrafted table, in lava stone and Vietri ceramics, seating 12 where you can enjoy a meal or an apéritif overlooking the gulf. The swimming pool is available from the first Saturday in April until the second Saturday in October.
