Hotel Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa

In the heart of Ischia Ponte, a family-friendly, pet-friendly resort with views toward the Aragonese Castle. Steps from Pescatori Beach and walking distance to the Diocesan Museum, Piazza degli Eroi and Museo del Mare. Easy access to Ischia Port and local thermal parks for quick day trips.

An intimate 35-room resort set in lush gardens of exotic plants and a pinewood backdrop. Rooms are air-conditioned with minibars, LCD TVs, safes and free wired and wireless internet; some have furnished balconies or terraces. The vibe mixes classic island charm with spa-resort polish — think terrace solarium, piano-accompanied meals and thermal-pool relaxation.

A full-service spa and thermal pool complex anchors the property, with indoor and outdoor pools, two hot tubs, aromatherapy jets, a sauna, steam bath and a health club. Other perks include a poolside bar, multiple lounges, a solarium, BBQ area and a dive club — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings and chilled evenings by the water.

A business center and express check-in/out keep things efficient, plus complimentary high-speed (wired) internet and free self parking. Train station pick-up is available for a surcharge.

Two on-site restaurants including Durrueli serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with à la carte plates of fresh seafood, local specialties and rich antipasti and vegetable buffets. There’s a poolside bar, three lounges and 24-hour room service; continental breakfasts are offered daily for a fee.
