Ischia has always been attractive for its wild beauty, healing thermal springs and excellent vineyard. Proudly dominating the seascape from a rocky promontory, the Mezzatorre overlooks sparkling Bay of Naples, the island of Capri and the sea on the horizon. Located near Forio d’Ischia, the hotel is secluded in the midst of a thick Mediterranean maquis and just a few minutes from San Montano Bay. The strategic location of Ischia, overlooking the Gulf of Naples, makes Mezzatorre the perfect private “harbour” to discover the bay’s beauty through island hopping, crossing the sea by series of shorter journeys between islands like Procida and Capri

The castle of Mezzatorre has an ancient and fascinating history. The name “Mezzatorre” derives from the presence of an ancient watch tower remained unfinished (from here “Mezza”) and built between the sixteenth and seventeenth century by the Aragonese as a watchtower. It was enlarged in the eighteenth century by the dukes of Rancidello. In the thirties, the tower was used as a pension until one of the owners was Luigi Patalano, a distinguished scholar, politician and poet. Founder of political and cultural magazines, he transformed the tower into an active cultural cenacle. Patalano also built “La Colombaia” in the same park as Mezzatorre, just a short walk from the hotel. After being owned by Baron Fassini, an educated aristocrat, elegant and lover of good life, the beautiful villa was bought in the 50s by Luchino Visconti, the eclectic Italian movie director, who brought an atmosphere of fruitful culture to the island.
