Relaxing Ischia holiday by the sea

An elegant boho beach stay near Forio on Ischia's northwest coast - includes half board, botanical garden tickets and travel

With its eclectic interiors, elegant boho fabrics and perfect location between two idyllic beaches, Hotel La Scogliera is quite the island find on sun-toasted Ischia. A circular pool glistens beneath the sun, surrounded by a patio speckled with trees and blooming flowers overlooking the sparkling sea.

This pure white island haven with classic Ischian arches trumpets peace and vitality. Retreat to the spa with thermal dipping pool and in-depth treatment menu, between savouring local Med-infused specialities for lunch and dinner in the restaurant.

There's a bus stop nearby the hotel to take you into Forio, a seven-minute ride down the coast, where you can gaze at medieval and baroque finds and sashay along the restaurant-lined promenade on warm evenings. The island's most photographed landmark, the sheer white Chiesa del Soccorso chapel, is only around a 20-minute walk south along the coast too.
