The Island Ischia
All its hidden bays and coves, the view of the Vesuvius and the many wellness resorts make Ischia the perfect romantic getaway. Ischia was settled in the 8th century and is the largest of the three islands off the coast of Naples, which are Procida, Capri and Ischia.

How to get there?
We took a flight to Naples and from there you can take the hydrofoil to beautiful Ischia. If you are planning a trip to Naples, Ischia is definitely a really nice addition to your trip. After hectic Napels, the picturesque Island of Ischia with its many wellness resorts will give you a calm and relaxed feeling.

Where to stay?
During our stay in Ischia we stayed at San Montano Resort and Spa. This is definitely one of the most breathtaking and luxurious places we have ever stayed.
San Montano Resort & Spa on Ischia is a 5 star hotel overlooking the sea at the Bay of San Montano and the Gulf of Naples. The resort is surrounded by almost 7,5 acres of parkland and has a wonderful Mediterranean garden. The panoramic views are magical. There are five panoramic pools. These five panoramic pools overlook the harbour in Lacco Ameno, with the island of Procida and the Bay of Naples in the background. San Montano resort is a perfect location for a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. Not to forget they have the most delicious homemade lemonade from their own lemon garden.


How to get around
In Ischia there is no need to rent a car or a scooter. The best way to go around the island is by bus. Traveling by bus is the preferred method to get around for locals and visitors. You can get everywhere by bus because the bus system is really extensive. The main terminal is in the city of Ischia port and the bus system covers all the towns of the island.
