SOUTHERN italy ~ ischia
Mezzatorre Resort & Spa ★★★★★ Nestled in a forest of pines on 25 acres, this historic resort high above the sea is one of Ischia’ s most luxurious properties. Its incredible spa is housed in the ancient stone watchtower that was built to alert the islanders of pirates approaching. The natural thermal springs, the great hiking trails, the private beach and saltwater pools help induce total relaxation. The dining is wonderful, the staff is dedicated and the beautiful accommodations are of a lovely, contemporary design. Sites to visit nearby include the quaint village of Sant’ Angelo, the Poseidon Thermal Gardens, the medieval Aragonese Castle, the Giardini La Mortella, and the Pithecuse Archeological Museum that holds island artifacts from pre-history to the Romans. page 80 | www. jdbhotels. com
