Your days can be taken leisurely on one of our numerous beaches or small romantic bays looking out at the deep blue Mediterranean sea. Alternatively you can explore Ischia’s historic villages and museums or take in the beautiful scenery on a walk or via horseback trekking. An unforgettable visit is to the beautiful garden “La Mortella” created by Lady Susana, the widow of Sir William Walton. Here you can listen to classical concerts during the summertime.
With our Mediterranean time-clock, you would have enjoyed an afternoon’s siesta and can now shop late into the evening. Otherwise evenings can be passed peacefully watching the sun setting over the sea whilst sampling fresh local dishes and wines in one of Ischia’s restaurants. Ischia has many religious festivals often resulting in evening fireworks and street entertainment.
A cradle of art, Ischia has hosted personalities of great humanity and culture such as Bargheer, Auden, Stendhal, Ibsen, Bursche, Neil Little, Kallman, Enrico d’Assia, Luchino Visconti. There are many local painters and sculptors with various galleries on the island.
In this stunning scenario, you will find an idyllic setting for cures and well-being. The thermal parks -with alternative and avant-garde therapies - are unique in the world and include the POSEIDON, NEGOMBO, APHRODITE, TROPICAL and CASTIGLIONE. Here you can bathe in mineral rich spa water refreshed daily from the hot volcanic springs, or sit in steam rooms cut into the rock – an experience dating back to the Roman times.
From Ischia there are daily excursions visiting the cultural and archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mount Vesuvius, the beautiful Costa Amalfitana (Sorrento) and the island of Capri .

. Botanic GardenIn 2003, we started a new project at Villa Ravino; the realisation of a Botanic garden with exotic plants, set in over 5000 sq metres. This is a unique concept on Ischia, fusing a lodge house with an extravagant garden. This garden, along with the mature areas around Villa Ravino, is the result of 35 years of great passion and loving work of Signor Peppino, the owner of the Villa. The exotic trees include palms, olive, lemon and orange. Cascading over the walls, pergolas and terraces are grape vines as well as numerous flowering climbers - providing a multitude of rich colours. A speciality of Signor Peppino are succulent plants and cacti. These are abundant throughout the garden and obviously thrive in the Ischia climate. Throughout our scent and colour filled garden are paths and steps to let you wander through and take in the serenity..
