Our Assessment

Why we recommend Palazzo Manzi Terme & Spa.

An address that explains Ischia: 19th-century palazzo architecture, the Gurgitiello thermal spring rising directly beneath it, and a 1,600 m² spa that transforms that water into something singular.

The rooftop pool at sunset, approached through orientally decorated towers with open views across Casamicciola, is the moment most guests name as the highlight. Balcony suites are worth the supplement. For excursions: La Mortella Gardens in Forio and Monte Epomeo are half-day options far less crowded than Capri.

Climate & best time to travel

When it rewards you most.

Best time to travel April to June and September to October

Ischia is rewarding from April to October, and its thermal waters carry the island through the shoulder season. In the cooler months the sea is still fresh at 15 to 19C, but the hot springs at 28 to 40C make up for it. August is hot and fully booked; spring and early autumn bring garden bloom, quiet baths and gentler prices.

  • April to May 15 to 22C and the thermal parks open. Still too cool for sea swimming, but the hot springs make the shoulder season appealing.
  • June to August Warm 26 to 30C with a sea around 24C. High summer is hot and heavily booked, especially in Sant'Angelo and the coastal hotels.
  • September to October Mild between 19 and 27C with the sea still 22 to 24C. Thermal operations continue; first hotels begin to close from mid-October.

Experiences

What you come here for.

  1. Thermal cure at the Gurgitiello spring

    The hotel is the only one on Ischia with direct access to the Gurgitiello spring, in use for centuries. The 1,600 square metre spa channels this water into indoor thermal pools and a rooftop pool. The Metodo Gurgitiello combines therapy, nutrition and movement over several days.

  2. Visit to the La Mortella garden in Forio

    The garden of composer William Walton ranks among Italy's most remarkable botanical estates. Paths through subtropical planting lead to viewpoints over the coast. Half a day is enough for the visit.

  3. Wine tasting on Ischia's volcanic soils

    The island grows indigenous grape varieties on volcanic soil under the Ischia DOC. A visit to local winemakers can be arranged on request through the hotel. The afternoon pairs tasting with a view across the vineyards.
