Villa L'Olivo of Ischia

Villa L'Olivo di Ischia

Location and Surrounding Area

Located on one of the largest islands in the Bay of Naples, this exclusive property is ideally situated to offer complete privacy to its guests, providing a perfect seaside retreat. The air of Ischia is perfumed with the scent of the sea, pine forests, and manicured gardens. The thermal hot springs are a natural phenomenon widely known for their therapeutic benefits, and the island’s sandy beaches and natural coves make Ischia the perfect destination to revitalise your mind, body, and soul.

Most visitors head straight for the towns on the north coast—Ischia Porto, Ischia Ponte, Forio, and Lacco Ameno. Of these, Ischia Porto boasts the best bars, while Forio and Lacco Ameno have the prettiest spas and gardens. On the quieter south coast, the car-free charm of Sant’Angelo offers a relaxed blend of a cosy harbour and laid-back beaches. Between the two coasts lies a less-traveled landscape of chestnut forests, vineyards, and volcanic rock, dominated by Monte Epomeo, Ischia’s highest peak.

Situated along the western coast of Ischia, Forio is the island’s second-largest town. Forio is famous for its picturesque town with shops and restaurants, and it is also home to the Chiesa del Soccorso, one of the prettiest churches on Ischia. In the centre of Forio, you’ll also find the Torrione Museum, an ancient watchtower built to keep enemies out. Citara Beach is one of the most alluring beaches on Ischia, while the beaches of Cava dell’Isola, Chiaia, and San Francesco are within walking distance.

Villa L’Olivo di Ischia is 49 km from Naples and Naples Capodichino International Airport. Lacco Ameno is 1.7 km from the villa, Casamicciola Terme is 3.6 km, Sant’Angelo is 8.3 km, Ischia Porto is 10 km, and Lido di Maronti is 13 km.

The Property

Located in a panoramic setting on the northwestern side of the island of Ischia, Villa L'Olivo di Ischia offers a unique retreat for those seeking complete privacy and pure relaxation in one of Italy’s most sought-after areas. Nestled in a lush park characterised by traditional dry-stone walls made of local volcanic stone, the property can accommodate up to twelve guests plus twelve, featuring twelve bedrooms spread across an exclusive main villa and its three cottages.

Surrounded by impressive terraces and landscaped gardens, the property boasts an exceptional pool and a spacious poolside area equipped with comfortable sun loungers for basking in the idyllic Italian sun. Offering a peaceful atmosphere, the area beside the pool also features a spacious al fresco lounge area where guests can enjoy moments of relaxation with a good book and a glass of prosecco. The outdoor area is also the perfect place for al fresco dining or sunset aperitifs.

Main Villa: At the centre of the estate, the main villa overlooks the garden and the large pool, offering stunning views of the hills and the sea. The villa can accommodate up to twelve guests and features six bedrooms (four double bedrooms and two twin rooms) with en-suite bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, living rooms, a dining room, and a library. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, while the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with both a tub and a shower.

Citrus House: When the citrus trees are in bloom, dining under the porch of the Citrus House can be an enchanting experience. Built on a single level, it offers the ideal accommodation for a couple with children: a double bedroom and a twin room, each with an en-suite bathroom—one with a bathtub and one with a shower. The house also features a spacious kitchen with a dining area and a large living room. Exterior porches overlook the orchard and the hills, while the interior spaces offer an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.
