Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa

Ischia

Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa, a serene five-star oasis on Ischia's northern coast, commands breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples, set within a lush 7-hectare park of Mediterranean maquis. The hotel's 52 rooms and suites, spread across a 16th-century watchtower and charming cottages, blend elegant simplicity with modern comforts, featuring air conditioning, satellite TVs, and minibars. Many offer private terraces with vistas of the shimmering sea or fragrant gardens, ideal for tranquil mornings or romantic evenings under the stars. Culinary artistry flourishes at two à la carte restaurants: La Torre, nestled by the historic tower, serves refined regional dishes like rabbit all'ischitana, while the poolside La Baia, with its palm-leaf roof, offers international specialties and fresh seafood. The daily buffet breakfast, featuring homemade breads and pastries, is savoured on a sunlit terrace, complemented by the piano bar's artisanal cocktails. Wellness thrives at the renowned Thermal Spa, housed in the ancient tower, with three hydrotherapy pools using Ischia's mineral-rich waters, a sauna, and outdoor gazebo massages. The outdoor pool, private cove, and tennis court invite leisure, while jogging trails and a private dock enhance exploration of the island's rugged beauty. Just 7 km from Ischia Porto and a short ferry ride from Naples, this adult-focused retreat, open from spring to autumn, offers curated excursions to Procida or Capri, ensuring a seamless blend of relaxation and Mediterranean allure.

Villa Tre Ville

Positano, Amalfi Coast

Villa TreVille is a private estate above Positano formed from four independent villas set within terraced gardens, where a former artistic residence has been opened up into one of the most discreet and self contained stays on the Amalfi Coast. The structure is what defines it. Rather than a single hotel building, the property unfolds across Villa Bianca, Villa Rosa, Villa Azzurra and Tre Pini, each positioned within a two hectare hillside plot that drops towards the water. Pathways, steps and planted terraces connect the villas, with pergolas, citrus trees and dense planting softening the transitions between spaces. Moving through the estate feels unstructured in the best sense, with no central focal point pulling everything together, just a series of viewpoints, quiet corners and open terraces that gradually reveal the coastline below. Access down to the sea is built into the experience. A lift cut through the rock and a series of stone steps lead to private sundecks and a dock at water level, giving the property a direct relationship with the coastline that very few Positano stays can offer. para-2 Accommodation is limited to 15 suites, each one positioned within the four villas rather than grouped together, which keeps the feel residential and private. Layout varies from suite to suite, but the focus is consistent — outward facing terraces, space to sit, and a clear sense of separation from neighbouring rooms. Interiors carry a personal rather than uniform approach, with hand painted ceramics, Murano glass and collected pieces layered into each space. Some suites extend further with private gardens or terraces, and a few introduce small private pools, but the real constant is the positioning, with views across Positano Bay anchoring every stay. para-3 Dining is handled in a way that matches the scale of the property. There is no formal multi venue structure; instead, meals are prepared to order and served where it suits, whether that is the Club Lounge, a terrace or within the privacy of your own space. The kitchen leans into local produce and simple Mediterranean cooking, with seafood, vegetables and lighter dishes forming the core of the offering. The Club Lounge and bar act as the social centre in the evenings, with drinks served throughout the day and into the night, keeping everything informal but considered. para-4 The estate itself provides most of the daily rhythm. Terraces and gardens are designed to be used rather than looked at, with plenty of space to settle across different levels depending on the time of day. The private beach area and dock extend that further, giving direct access to the water alongside space to spend time away from the main hotel areas. Boat trips are a natural extension of the stay, with the property’s own launch available for exploring the coastline, while the elevated position above Positano keeps a clear sense of separation from the town below. para-5 A small wellness offering includes a gym, hammam and treatment space, with massages and therapies available either within the spa or in suite. It remains understated and in keeping with the scale of the property rather than a destination in itself. para-6 The estate is around a 15 minute walk from Positano’s centre and approximately 17 kilometres from Sorrento, with Naples Capodichino Airport around 60 kilometres away, positioning it slightly removed from the town while still within easy reach.

Borgo Santandrea

Amalfi, Amalfi Coast

Borgo Santandrea, set above Conca dei Marini on the Amalfi Coast, is a design-driven cliffside hotel that pairs a rare private beach with a strong mid-century Italian identity. The hotel is arranged vertically across the cliff, with a series of terraces connected by multiple lifts that move you from the main entrance down through the restaurant levels, pool deck and finally to the beach. This top-to-bottom layout defines the stay, with each level opening out to uninterrupted sea views . What stands out is how the structure is used to create a clear rhythm to the day, with mornings centred around the upper terraces and pool, and afternoons naturally shifting down towards the beach club. Despite the steep setting, movement through the hotel feels controlled and considered, with each space given enough separation to avoid crowding while still feeling connected. para-2 The 45 rooms and suites are positioned to face the sea, with layouts that prioritise outdoor space as much as the interiors. Private terraces and balconies are standard across most categories, while higher-end suites introduce private pools that sit directly on the cliff edge, changing the feel from hotel stay to something more self-contained. Interiors lean heavily into a 1960s Italian aesthetic, with custom furniture, vintage pieces and hand-finished tiles giving each room a distinct identity without becoming overly decorative. The use of colour and pattern is confident but controlled, with the overall effect feeling curated rather than themed, and always secondary to the view beyond the glass. para-3 The hotel offers three restaurants and two bars. Alici is the main restaurant, focusing on Mediterranean cuisine in a more structured setting, while La Libreria provides a smaller, more intimate space. Al Borgo, set at the beach club, shifts the tone towards relaxed, informal dining during the day. The terrace bar sits at one of the highest points of the hotel and becomes the natural gathering spot in the evening, while the beach bar operates as part of the daytime setup by the water. Dining here is defined more by position than formality, with each venue tied closely to its setting rather than operating as separate destinations. para-4 The main pool is positioned on a central terrace with clear views along the coastline, acting as the primary daytime space away from the beach. From here, guests can either remain at this level or continue down to the private beach, which is a rarity on this part of the Amalfi Coast and gives the hotel a clear advantage over many of its neighbours. Beach days are built around the club setup, with direct access to the water and a more relaxed pace compared to the upper levels. Activities such as snorkelling, boating and coastal excursions are available, but the focus remains on spending time between the terraces and the sea rather than structured programmes. para-5 The wellness offering includes treatment rooms and dedicated spa spaces, with a focus on massage and relaxation rather than a large standalone spa facility. The positioning keeps it secondary to the main experience of the hotel rather than a central feature. A gym is available on site, alongside space for private training and yoga, giving enough for a full routine without shifting the tone away from a coastal stay. para-6 Borgo Santandrea is located in Conca dei Marini, around a 10 minute drive from Amalfi, with Positano approximately 30 minutes away and Naples Airport around 90 minutes by road.
