On the grounds of ancient Greco- Roman ruins and thermal springs in northwest Ischia, L’ Albergo della Regina Isabella reigns over a quiet seashore bay. Film director and publisher Angelo Rizzoli built the luxurious hotel and spa in the 1950s, and it immediately attracted celebrities, nobles and sophisticated travelers from around the world. Its appeal continues with modern and stylish accommodations, excellent dining and an emphasis on relaxation and wellness. Guestrooms feature artistic décor, contemporary furnishings and Murano glass lighting. Chef Pasquale Palamaro, who won a Michelin star in 2013, brings Italian cuisine to new heights. Their popular July film festival shows movies on the surrounding rocks.
